[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 485618, member: 28452"] Not that replacing the cable will solve your problem! At the end of the day the initial inrush surge of your welder exceeds what the circuit breaker can sustain, so it doesn't work. The whole circuit needs upgrading to have both adequate current capacity [U]and[/U] conformity with recognised installation standards. The former so that it will work, and he second for your safety. The only reason it worked before is down to the inadequacy of fuses in distribution boards which is why they have been superseded. [/QUOTE]
