a 32a mcb wouldnt be much help for it!
A type D will solve the tripping but it's going to need a large fault current to operate under fault. Get an rcbo if you can as the RCD part will give you extra protection and does away with fault current issue
the welder is 35amp full load so u would be better going for a 40amp c type breaker , your socket is only 32 amp but no worries realy on that part as the next size up is 60 ampit will carry the load as its only inrush current
breakers arent meant to run at there full capacity never mind overload themSo you would sooner under protect the socket then love with a three amp over load on the protection?
Wylex do a range of boards so a photo will help further the recommendation of a RCBO
so u run 35 amp constant of a 32 amp breaker, i think not it might last a few month then it would weaken . try it with electric showers and u will soon find outRubbish. Have got breakers running at full load all the time at work and never have an issue and a d type will not notice three amp overload for hours (if it even gets to 35 given voltage at point of use etc)
the manufacturer of the rcd/mcb/rcbo doesnt have to be the same as the consumer unit
is there anything in the 17th about using common sense
