I use the welder with a T12 socket (10 A) and suitable adapter - works without any problems. The cable stays cool, the fuse holds as long as you keep the welding current within a reasonable range.

🔩 My experience depending on the electrode size (continuous welding in one piece):

2.0 mm (e.g. Oerlikon SOEZ): 8-10 minutes

2.5 mm: 6-8 minutes

3.2 mm: approx. 2-5 minutes, then thermal shutdown possible
👉 2.0 mm electrodes are ideal for continuous operation on T12
2.5 mm work well if you take short breaks
3.2 mm only suitable to a limited extent, as the device switches off quickly

💡 For permanently high power or continuous welding with thick electrodes, a T23 socket (16 A) makes more technical sense.

✅ Conclusion: T12 works with restrictions, but for me it's great in everyday use for small jobs and short employees.

💰 The price-performance ratio is absolutely right - I am very satisfied with the device.

Yes, the device is very good and you can also weld 2.5 mm electrodes very well with 10A.
I don't know whether 3.2 or 4 mm electrodes also work.

Normal socket outlet T12(10A).
The appliance has a Schuko plug, you also need a DE-CH adapter.

I also use the device with a Schuko/T12 adapter on a T13 socket, on a 10A screw fuse. All electrodes under 3.2 mm work without any problems. With 3.2 mm and from approx. 120A welding current, the fuse blows after a few minutes of welding.
However, I don't need the device for such rough work, so it works perfectly!
If you want to do rough welding work with high welding currents and thick electrodes, a socket with a 16A fuse would certainly be more ideal.
