Inverters and transformers are different one draws more power than the otherI don't get why a 180A mig needs 32A supply...my Kemppi 200 evo will happily run off a 13A plug on full chat!

But the fuse in the plug will be 13A max if a normal 3 pin plug.... (or maybe a nail )I've got a Sealey 180 and have run it in the garage off an extension cable plugged into a normal socket, and it ran ok but never used full power. Since found out that the sockets in the flat are all on a 30 amp fuse.
Don`t even think about a nail!!!!!But the fuse in the plug will be 13A max if a normal 3 pin plug.... (or maybe a nail )
s'what I said - do I get a Scout's Electrical Badge?the only way your going to run it of a cooker circuit is IF there isnt a cooker conected to it so if there is one dont bother it will have up to 15 kw running off it .and dont just say use 1 or the other if u connect to it / wire a seperate cable to consumer unit using a 32 amp mcb on its own
you win a crackerjack pencil anyone remember the program on tvs'what I said - do I get a Scout's Electrical Badge?
