Hi all im new around here and new to TIG welding. I bought myself a used 300p and am dying to learn TIG welding. Im having problems even getting the welder to run let alone weld with it! Basically I have the machine wired two phase through a c32 contact breaker in my workshop followed by another c32 braker on the main junction board in my freind workshop next door. Sometimes it'll switch on other times it trips both breakers instantly. Also ive noticed that when it has started without problems if I then turn it off then back on again it'll trip both breakers. Sorry if im being completely dumb its just im told by the welding company I bought it from that it should start and work fine on the 32 amp breaker. Also they told me it doesnt matter which way round the two phase wires are wired into the plug so long as they are on L1 and L2 with earth to earth. Just seems real weird how sometimes it trips instant and others its fine! Im by no means an electrician so am really stuck! Please help!
Many Thanks in advance!
