Hi all.
Put in a dedicated supply to my TIG over the weekend. Ran fine on the TIG but the stick and the mig have both caused the power to go out for that standalone socket (32 Amp plug on a 16 amp MCB, 10mm^2 grey flex), without the 16 amp MCB flicking into the down/off position. Cycling the MCB switch makes the power come back on.
Ive checked the live, neutral & earth no loose connections. Is it a bad MCB? Could I require a Type C MCB (no idea what it has in it.)?
I basically removed the water heater hand wash unit (which is broken) and wired in my new cable. Live into the 16a MCB, neutral to the common rail and earth to the common rail.
Thats as far as my electrical knowledge goes. Obviously I isolated at the incoming supply before hand etc.
Any ideas. Can get pictures if necessary but I'm starting to think its time for an electrician.
