    I run mine through a 32 amp outlet which is protected by the RCD. I was experiencing random RCD trips, on start-up, and found by placing another cap across the line fixed the problem.

    I can't remember the size I used but it's probably similar in size to the one that comes installed with the unit.(only a few uF) I think it was encapsulated in epoxy IIRC...

    Hope this helps..

    The random rcd tripping could also be due to dust build up inside the welder and around the HF area. Check the mains plug and the area where the mains attach to the welder. I've had a dead cockroach and a dead rat trip my rcds.

    Also, rcds add up all the leakage. All your white goods and machinery will have some leakage and your welder might just push it over the cumulative limit. Fit a dedicated rcd for the welder. RCDs are so cheap nowadays that you can afford to have one for every circuit.
