Hi Guys, this is my first post and im in need of some sound advice! Now... Ive got a 150A Cigweld Mig welder im using to make a 6x4 trailer. Im welding in my garage and was just wondering about the power supply and regulations i need as im scared of starting a circuit fire etc.
These are some of the figures i can see in my electrical box (dont really know what they mean!)
Black box stating - 100A
Each circuit eg: Air con, Garage, cooker etc has - C16 50hz
The welder has a 15A outlet with a 10A converter plug on it too.
Since ive been welding, i usually have it on the 3/4 power with 9/10 wire feed. So far this hasnt been a problem (short circuit, tripping safety switch etc). When i max it out for my chassis 4/4 power 10/10 wire feed it has tripped it once.
My question is, how do i read these figures and whats the best alternative?
Thanks in advanced! Cheers
