Answer:
for giving the heat to rod and make joint easily.
if you are referring to Tig welding or GTAW as you call it in America the amperage depends on the thickness of metal the thicker the metal the higher amperage you will need to create a welding pool.
Unless you are very experienced, you will have to go through trail and error to set the right amps. always start off low and increase your amps until you get a pool that would fall through if you did not start moving and applying the filler rod. Your weld should penetrate right the way through.
