I tried my best to explain the difference between B and C curve MCBs in another post, but just stumbled upon this video which, in less than 20 minutes, demystified the whole thing for me:
Highlights:
00:00 to 03:00 - difference between an RCD and an MCB, and why the MCB protects the wire but...
It's particularly shocking for us current and former L200 owners who used to laugh at Nissan Navaras for breaking their backs. There's even a while facebook group dedicated to it https://www.facebook.com/groups/475365866134843/
Is he suggesting you're in for some of the cost?
You'll be fine running the welder off a 13A plug and 32A ring, until you're not. In other words, push it until it trips the breaker then don't push that hard in the future!
If you have a garage or outside socket it's worth getting a spark in to check whether it's safe to put a C16 or C32 in for...
Sure.
All MCBs (or RCBOs) will trip when the current exceeds the maximum rated current, as you would expect. However, it's not a binary "Exceed current = trip, don't exceed = don't trip" decision.
The breakers operate on a curve where they will tolerate an increased rate of current ("inrush")...
Well, if we're going to continue down the thread resurrection patch ( :D ) I feel duty bound to say that it's not the 13A fuse in the plug that will make the difference, rather than the C curve C16 MCB in the distribution board...
I only bought this because I got a £50 amazon voucher, but it's turned out to be one of the most useful "free" tools I've ever bought (that I wouldn't have spent my own money on)

Of course, replace "dewalt" with whichever tool / battery system...
I'd say it totally depends on the policy. I had a used BMW warranty that was excellent but with some odd exclusions. They paid for a new battery and a £4,000 wiring loom replacement, as well as a new radiator but not the headlight that exploded cos the burst radiator squirted water all over it...
Follow up as I just linked to this in another thread.
So the key question of charging is that it works great. When I plug the noco up the car's chuff, then we're good to go and the car starts maybe 8 or ten times from a charge.
The connectors work well, too. I mostly remember to unplug it but...
Mine has a button that shows its charge state. After two weeks it's around 75% so I bring it indoors and give it a boost with the laptop charger.
Still wouldn't be without it: the car phones home every 30 minutes, apparently, so the battery ends up flat after a week.
Hence this...
Now, admittedly, there is a learning curve (think of it as the Fusion 360 of the video editing world) but the free version of Davinci Resolve is literally a professional grade video editing suite.
There are also tons of tutorials on youtube.
Although it can appear daunting, you can actually do...
