My TecArc 181 is tripping my MCB.
The welder is on its own MCB, only one 16amp socket.
MCB is a hager MTN 116 B16.
The welder trips if i turn the volts up, anything above setting 5.
This wasnt a problem previously as i was welding thinner steel.
I am going to be welding 5mm angle to 4mm plate soon so will likely have the machine on full chat.
The machine trips the MCB as soon as i pull the trigger. Could this be due to the B rating of the MCB.
The socket and circuit was fit 6 monthd ago.
