mcb not rcdAs far as I know the 16a sockets are meant to be protected by rcds in the first place hence the lack of need for the fuse
Are you referring to the v205.
Yes TIG welders are far more forgiving on supplies than gmaw and mma. My Rehm runs at max 210 amps on a 13amp supply and the manual even states it will.
My old Mls would sit over 200 on the plug with no issues Too.
Mma however a 4mm rod trips the supply. Never had a fuse pop. Always trips out.
but what is the supply fuse feeding the socketYou can run nearly anything on the old style round pin 15amp plug. If anything blows fuses I stick the 15 amp plug on it and it never looks back
mcb always have there amperage stamped on them along with the typeEdit to above: there was no fuses in fuse box just unmarked trips.
You're just looking for the numbers really, the B refers to the tripping characteristics, a C rated one will take more before it trips than a B one will. You can also get D rated ones though they're not too easy to find.
Higher rated (curve) ones are better for welders as they cope with the inrush current better.

even for domestic boards c type shouldn't be used unless heavy starting current is required
