Do most welders have an integral disconnect?

T^he section I mentioned states that a disconnect is not required if the welder had an integral disconnect. That implies that some welders don't have it. Interestingly, the section does not say the disconnect must be in sight-- I am sure that is the intent but it seems the CB can be the disconnect.
