It’s not expensive to do a proper job.
Fit a c16 type breaker and run a 2.5mm TnE to a dedicated 16A socket for your welder.
If you pull too much juice from the main supply around the house while your using it then it will knock out the breaker…. Simple
Just be aware of what your main total supply is capable of giving. If your welding at 200 amps I’d suggest doing it when she’s not boiling the kettle and got a full load in the tumble drier or you could be cut off mid run.
There’s no real reason to be blowing plug fuses. It only gets expensive if you need to increase your total capacity of supply available
