OK, what are your thoughts?
I picked up one of these GCI units...it is a 15 Amp interrupt.  Question:  If the welder can pull 15-16 amps and the garage is on a 15A breaker, will the 15A interrupt switch off before the garage breaker gets thrown?
I am hoping I can use the circuit interrupter to "tune" the welder to the highest setting I can run without throwing the switch or the breaker.
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5
