Ok
so a mate has acquired a brand new (four years old) welder. It doesn't have a plug on it.
AFAIk you can run it on a 13A supply but to run at full power need to fit a 16A connector.
He has a 16 or 32 connector not too far away.
how acceptable is it to fit a 16A connector, then make a 13A to 16A adaptor for use on normal sockets ( which apparently people do) and then make or buy a 16A extension lead to supply full power on the odd occasion?
