Hi not sure if this is a stupid question but I don't know much about electrics / power supply....
I bought a TecArc Prof-MIG 180 a year or so ago and in general it has been great. It is single phase 180A and has two 'coarse' power settings (1-2) and 6 'fine' settings (1-6) so 12 power settings in total. The only issue I have with it is that it trips my garage power supply (standard 240v as far as I am aware) when on the 2 highest settings (i.e. 2-5 and 2-6). As such I can only use up to the 2-4 setting.
Is this normal / to be expected? If so is there anything I can buy (like an adaptor or summat) or do to allow me to get the full power out of the machine?
Any help much appreciated!
Cheers
