to throw a bit of light on the subject
that welder will work from a 13 amp socket provided that socket is on a ring main and fed with a 32 amp fuse, note the word fuse not a mcb
a 32 amp fuse will take 32 all day and approx. 50amp for about one hour continuous , a 13 amp fuse will take approx. 20 for one hour
the point to note here is that a fuse will tolerate an overload for a time but an MCB will trip at just over the rated current , note that some MCB's are rated for transformer inrush ,but these are not normally found in a domestic enviroment
I know that welder will work with fuses as described because I used to own one , has yours got the 2.5 volt heating tappings ( I think they were tagged brazing or something )
From the above please note that MCB will give you better fault protection whereas fuse are not so good , just do the maths a dead short across a 13 amp fuse say 0.0001 ohms at 240 volt ( UK ) give an instantaneous current flow of 240 /0.0001 = 2,400,000 amps think about it
