Tool for welding copper wires


Good afternoon, dear "the inhabitants of our site"! I present to your attention device for welding electric copper wires, which works in conjunction with any welding inverter with current control. I was unbelievably lucky, because I found a carbon electrode near the trolleybus stop (yes, the one that slides along the contact wires). The matter remained small - to make a holder of suitable rubbish. For what? First: to ensure a good, reliable contact. The welding current was set experimentally on the order of 30 - 40 amperes. Secondly: the hands are not so dirty. Thirdly: the electrode itself is very fragile. He had to be protected with something, leaving only a working surface.

The principle of work, I think, is understandable. We clean the copper wires of 8 - 10 cm, make twisting. Clamp the “base” of the twist. We insert the fixture into the holder of the welding machine and briefly touch with the charcoal the tip of the twist, until a drop of welding appears. All! You will not find a more reliable connection. Simple and forever! I recommend for repetition!
I remind you: nowhere and never forget or neglect the rules of Safety!

No way to the bow !! Triple triple knot only smile

Well, they’re free at any store.
So it’s necessary to go to the store, tie the laces on shoes! Yes, it’s better to tie the wires with a bow, business! xaxa
That is distinct. Why do you think of all sorts of metad, if you can use simple terminal blocks? Well, they’re free at any store. He put it on, clamped it, and that’s all - you can litter it!
For this joining method, the twist length is absolutely irrelevant. The contact, so to speak, is already provided with a “ball” of welding and has a transition resistance much lower than just twisting, the length of which is enough 15-20 mm.just for durability and ease of welding. And the beauty in the wiring is still not visible, and the electrical tape or heat shrink will go away more.

And in my opinion, the longer the twist, the larger the contact spot between the wires. Yes, and looks reliable and beautiful! )))

I squeeze them with terminal blocks. I have Soviet terminal blocks. You can remove the clamp from them, just turn the bolts out. And then these terminals are insulated with electrical tape. Or I just use the terminals to release them now. I divide them into two. And I compress the wire with the whole .And I’m not servicing a solid core without soldering cannefoli with acid for brazing copper. And then clamping it with terminals. You can use terminals for a solid wire. But it should be tinned too.
About the length of the twist I agree. With the fact that you need to cook with flux, in principle, too, just tell me, if you are giving advice, how can such bulk material like borax be applied to the welded wires? If dissolved, then in what, if glued, then with what? Hemorrhoids with a melt are not to be offered; work is supposed to be on top.

The clamp is convenient in principle and a good idea. There are hundreds of these electrodes at any final stop of the trolley buses .... If it weren’t for the wild stench after welding the wires with these electrodes, it would be generally good (((And so ... special electrodes are not so expensive and the consumption is small - and then the apartment Do not air the week.

You need to cook with flux, for example with a borax. Hold the wire with massive pliers with insulated handles and for which such a length of twisting is needed. And what happened is a marriage.

And then I’ve been a fool all my life from a battery using a rod on my collective farm, but here it turns out that it was necessary to dismantle the tram

Vise has nothing to do with it. On them lies adapt. Who in the subject, understood my idea immediately. Inverter, of course, is better to have a belt, such as "Resants". And my cheap Chinese "HELPER" with a handle is not suitable for climbing under the ceiling.
yeah ... with such a vice on the walls you can’t climb much ...
I somehow did wiring in a new house. Well, I’ll adapt it to the inverter for welding. I’ll see if the pictures remain, I’ll post it. I got a lighter unit. By the way, brushes from electric motors are well suited as an electrode.
