Hi!
I'm looking into buying a smal inverter welder with 200A. But the machine has only a 230V input, no 400V. When I weld with my MIG (200A too) on highest setting, all I do is blowing fuses (even with a 50m cord)... For welding in the 170 to 200A range I need the 400V cord... 230V - as soon as the arc strikes, the fuse blows...
Now I'm a bit worried the same will happen with the inverter and I can't weld at 200A resp. can't weld thicker material with it!? Or does the inverter technology prevent this? I admit my knowledge about eletricery is sort of nil.
And second question, does anybody have expereinces with APEX machines? I'M looking for theyr multi-inverter (MIG/MAG, TIG DC and MMAA). 700€ does sound like a good price. But what about quality? Any experiences?

Thanks!

PS: I'm asking both question here, hope that's OK
