Is it possible to buy diesel welder without auxiliary sockets
And made in uk
And made in uk
So someone doesn't plug in a 9" grinder while you're welding on max amps, I guess.I can't help with the question, but why would it matter?
Genuine question - I'm just curious...
Most welders with sockets have circuit breakers upstream of the sockets. It would be easy and safe to disconnect the sockets from the output of the breaker (unplug the wires). Either leave the sockets in place or remove them and blank them off.
Would that interfere with any warranty?

It's even easier than that!Most welders with sockets have circuit breakers upstream of the sockets. It would be easy and safe to disconnect the sockets from the output of the breaker (unplug the wires). Either leave the sockets in place or remove them and blank them off.

Just whack an MCB lockout on the breaker, then if/when you need it in the future it's 30 seconds to get the key, unlock, and turn the sockets back on.
Put it on a keyring with the genset ignition key, and TIG the keyring up...You mean an hour looking for the key because you put it somewhere safe, then 5 minutes to cut the padlock off
Not to worry, the vibration of the set will have long destroyed the keyswitch's hold on the key and the key will have fallen into the mud several jobs ago.Put it on a keyring with the genset ignition key, and TIG the keyring up...
You can't lose it, but you have to turn the genset off to get the lockout key, stopping people from interfering with it at random.
This could of course result in losing both keys the first time you go to switch it over if you're unlucky with that sort of thing.
Cynic!Not to worry, the vibration of the set will have long destroyed the keyswitch's hold on the key and the key will have fallen into the mud several jobs ago.
