Just tested the yesterday recieved Schwab 16A 230VAC Inrush current Limiter.
It works great !!
Worth the money for sure!! (So Gerald, it will certainly work at your home too if there also is a USA current Limiter version).
I only had to change the USA AC plug with travel adapter plug to a decent EU plug on my 709A Spotwelder because the crappy travel adapter (USA to EU) did not stick/fit in the Schwab inrush current limiter!

Correction: Not 3800 Watt but 3500 Watt max which is about equal to 16A x 220VAC. And my Spotwelder is only 1900 Watt at 230VAC.

Thank you Yogesh. The Hager trippers/breakers you opted are not the same as Inrush current limiters. Because a current limiter doesn't break open like a fuse.
To explain this I added yesterday this information to my "How to repair Laptop Batteries" article":
I bought a Schwabe 60533 MIXO Einschaltstrombegrenzer , IP44 Gewerbe, Baustelle 16A 230V (German poduct, about 92 euro) to prevent blowing up my 25A mainfuse after switching on my 709A+ 2 in 1 Spotwelder.
It should perfectly well work because the inrush limiter can handle upto about 3800 Watt of Power!

Abhinav,

This adapter is just locking type by using flat screw driver you can open it.
for glued adapter just apply petrol with the help of cotton on joining edge of the adapter leave it for five minutes and try to open.here is the link for your reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a00esZ3B-aQ
