About 20 amps I would have thought, 2.5mm will carry that no problem.
A 16A plug would be okay with that welder.
Ok, thanks Alex.

Hello All,
The distance from the house mcb to the garage will be about 7 metres. There will be 10 sockets round the garage and 4 strip lights. The stuff that I will have in there is,
Welder (Portamig 211 when I afford it
Bandsaw
Chopsaw
Pillar Drill
Bench Grinder
Usual hand tools
Washing machine
Tumble dryer
Electric garage door
I can only see the bandsaw being used at the same time as the welder when my m8 helps out. I don't let her there when I'm working
Cheers,
Baz.
Lighting will be on a 6A MCB and go for a D curve 16A MCB for the welder as they are designed for initial high draw applications such as welders.
