I have never had to play with an electric welder (other than a hour or two training as a student) so I would assume the high current secondary is not earthed to avoid a direct burn-out of the welder's earth. Or is it?Had a similar one about a year ago, welding something hanging off a chain hoist .
earth clamp was not attached correctly.

This DB has been here decades, then a few weeks back a smart meter got fitted, my guess is the oik who did the meter pulled the tails about and made a loose joint occur.
They had double screws on every connection except the earth bar, didn’t they.The old Wylex boards had double-screws on the main cables (tails) as far as I remember, so it takes that bit more than one mistake to go wrong.
