Migmate 150 tripping MCB and occasionally fuse (Full power only)

[bigdrew1]

Hi,
is it normal for these welders to occasionally tip MCB / fuses.

It trips the MCB often enough for it to be annoying, and occasionally trips the 13A fuse in the plug.

This only happens running it on full power and as soon the the arc is made.

Thanks

Probably! Full load it going to be pulling around 16A which is enough to blow a 13A plug fuse after a while.

You don't say what the MCB current rating and type is, but a 16A yes, a 32A depends what else is plugged in.

20A type B MCB

Looks like a type C would be more appropriate as it also trips my transformer
