It depends on the size of fuse! 110A set should run on a 13A plug, my Oxford is the next size up and will work at low settings on a 13A fuse.

i have the 110b oxford

it will blow fuses on start up but not the 13amp fuse usually the fuse on the fuse box trips and needs resetting

after its initial start no problem after that however every now and again it will trip the breaker fuse again on start up but not every time

i dont think you can use 3.2s on that machine no need to have it set so high either

ive welded 3/4" plate no problem set on 70-90

Well you won’t be running it off a 13a plug, that’s for sure.
Do you have access to a 400v 3ph supply?

No but it was free lol can you use it on 13 amp upto like 130amps?

 

[hakim]

Free quad as well lol

 

[Sarto]

No, you have to plug it to a proper 3 phase grid.
Otherwise it won't work.
