HI
My father has just bought a combination as/no gas MIG welder and am a bit confused about the supply.
The instruction book in the begining says Model pcmig135/09 circuit breaker 30A.
For Welding currents up to 65Amp (lower settings) a 13amp plug may be used and for above (higher settings) that a 32amp plug and socket on a seperate 30amp fused circuit is needed.
It has power settings from 0-6.
What would be the best way to go about this? even though it may be used from a 13a plug i have seen some badly dameged ones from welders before (on this site I think?)
Also ring is RCD 30ma protected and other circuits 100ma protected, will this be a problem?
Cheers
