Hi,
I'm curious because I have the same welder and can run it all day at full power out of my 220v/16A (I'm in Europe) outlet without ever triggering the breaker.
Could it be that there is some kind of conversion from 110/220 (like that the breakers are on the 110v side before converting to 220V or something like that)?
because if you are talking about 30/40A on 220volts that is allot
It is 6,6kw for 30A and 8,8kw for a 40A.
