72A @ 230V no good for a domestic!
mine runs on a 30 amp fuse no bother . just make sure no ones having a shower when u are using it or any other large load it wont be a problemit would be hard to get the disconnection time for a 50A breaker of the characteristics needed for the welder on a domestic. plus if the house hold also used an electric shower or hob you could end up over loading the main fuse

Hello Mickj,
"I guess I should be grateful that it was desperately cheap then"
It won't be cheap if you still plan to try and use it. Upgrading the power and the amount it uses will soon make it a very expensive welder. It's also rated at 0.6 power factor which is not good, as it's power is just under 10 KW for nearly 16 KVA.
