Hi,
Im planning on doing some welding in my outdoor garage in the next few weeks and want some advice on an extension lead i need to purchase. The welder in question would be a 160A TIG welder running on a 13A fuse. Most of my welding would be on thin stuff so i won't be using the welder on heavy settings.
I've worked out that the lead has to be around 7m to 10m in length and has to be capable to withstand outdoor conditions. I'm basically looking to buy an extension which can just plug into an indoor socket. I also want to use a fluorescent lamp on the same extension if possible so i'm guessing that will use a 5A fuse? Do i purchase an armored cable or would a good quality extension lead do? Any use of a plug RCD? What amp extension would be required?
Thanks in advance.
