[QUOTE="grimmy, post: 485609, member: 31745"] Thank you Doc for your reply thats why i am asking i am no electricain but from a laymans view my line of thinking is that every thing was ok with the old fuse box and the cable to the shed has never been an issue no fuses were ever blown when useing the welder.I am trying to understand why it keeps tripping and again my line of thought is that the first draw of electric when the welder is first used is to strong for the breaker and it thinks circuit is being overloaded and therfore trips to protect the circuit but if i was to fit a stronger breaker it would not trip but no harm would be done to the circuit(cable) because it took the start up surge with the old fuse box in place.No did not discuss requirments was and still am in middle of cancer battle with the wife so was not on my mind at the time its not my house its owned by houseing association reason for the lead to the shed running from a plug is to make the supply temporay to the shed not a perminant supply and therefor fits in with there regulations [/QUOTE]
