          Breaker tripping is cause of a weak circuit. Use a 50-amp breaker, my Lincoln runs fine now. Check wire gauge, And use a dedicated outlet. Avoid long cords, And test voltage.

            Check cables for shorts, my breaker stopped tripping after I inspected them.

              Switch to a 240V dedicated circuit, It is way more stable.

                Inspect breaker for issues, my Lincoln works fine with a 60-amp breaker.
