Hi, I have a bx1-250c arc welder. Every time I try to weld it blows the fuse in the plug. Does anyone know what the problem is or how I would get around it? Thanks
Are you using it on full power? If so turn it down and if it doesn't blow the fuse then you're overloading the supply. The way round that is to install a beefier supply with a 16A or 32A socket.
It's a 250amp transformer based welder so if your trying to run it off a 13amp plug the in rush current will blow the fuse every time. As Rtbcomp suggested you need a bigger supply, either a 16amp socket and supply or a 32amp socket and supply.
