HI

Have problem when using extension 13amp lead tp power welder or industrial angle grinder, it seems to either blow the flug fuse regularly or the socket of extension lead burns out- any suggestion of different protection or is there a heavy duty sockets availabe for extension leads?

thanks.
 
How long is the lead, what size cable is the lead, do you full uncoil the lead before use.
 
cable is always uncoliled so there should be no probs there, not sure what size cable is off hand but shodl be big enough to handle, it's industrial tyoe with rubber like outer and cable prob is 9 or 10 metres.
