Crimped and soldered terminals

Phil, what brought this on? was there something i missed?

a while back in a different group i mentioned tinning a speaker wire before attaching it to a speakon connector as was roundly criticized as a fool and/or ignoramus. maybe so, but the cable works fine. (cables i built 30 years ago with tinned ends work fine too). i do see the point about solder being a soft alloy but it seems of you squish down hard enough it just doesn't matter.

This brings to mind the problems of galvanic corrosion, the reaction (chemical) between elements at different locations within the electromotive series.

Did you supply lighting for Brunel and Telford while they built their famous bridges?

Which is why such applications use specific types of terminals, not those of the consumer grade.

You and he both are idiots.

So nice to be put in the same bracket as Telford and Brunel, but remember Roy, when there are more than one person, 'he' is not the word to use. It would have been more correct linguistically to say 'you and them are all idiots', although of course incorrect in fact.

No, idiot. YOU and the Phil IDIOT you are jacking off at the mouth with, you retarded f*ck. I never said anything about Telford and Brunel, you retarded f*ck.

Except that I was NOT talking about "them" YOU RETARDED FUCKTARD!

You are. What I said was fine. Get a clue.

Just two week ago I was called out to a home with an electric furnace. 22 amps were flowing thru a tight fitting spade lug connected to a contactor (actually there are 4 separate circuits identical to this one for a total of

88 amps @ 240 VAC using 4 separate contactors). Only this one particular spade was close to the melting point. So I used a new laser guided no-contact infrared thermometer to measure the temperature. It was much higher than the other three circuits, yet the amperage was 22 amps just like the rest. I cut off the spade lug and two inches of wire (8 gauge stranded), then crimped on a new one. I measured the temp again and the temp was lower. Then I soldered that new crimp with 60/40 rosin. I measured again and found the temp to be 8 degrees F lower. I am convinced that a combination of crimping and soldering is best. It also guarantees there will not be future oxidation at the joint. The wire is copper, the spade is tin or Nichol coated, as is the contactor, that creates an electrolysis when heated, like a Peltier junction. The solder helps alleviate that I think. You may disagree but I believe my eyes and hands-on experience.

In regards to a different post. I think the use of LITZ wire is justified when connecting surge protectors because of it's unique high frequency ability (skin effect) , yes I know it does not matter at 60 Hz's, but it does matter for the short spikes which can be measured in megahertz. I twist three 14 ga. Enamel wires together.

Thats what I call good documented experience, and its intuitively correct as I see it for the reasons you state....so much for the mil specs or crimp only being gospel...

Hahahaha... 88 amps at 240 volts eh? That's some home heater. You sure you know how to read a meter?

Hahahahaha... Three 14 Ga wires does NOT make a litz wire. Enameled or not.

You're an idiot.

Roy Fuchs, It's clear to everyone in this newsgroup that you have many serious mental defects. You are the laughing stock, the local idiot, that is the butt of many jokes.

I feel sorry for you. I knew before I ever placed my post, that I would be seeing you calling me an idiot, but it did not deter me from posting anyway.

This is the one and only time I will ever respond to anything you have to say, so no matter what reactions you have to me, I will ignore everything you "Roy Fuchs" have to say. I would invite everybody else to never respond to anything you ever post again.

Newsgroups are not for condemning total strangers, it should be to help and exchange ideas and present arguments for and against points of view. The net result is a win-win for everybody and may lead to a common middle ground, which is where the truth usually lies.

I'm convinced after reading your many posts Roy, that you attack everybody. You don't know me, yet the first thing you did was to attack me. Roy, you little boy.

Yes, two circuits of 22amp each, go to one 50 amp breaker, two more circuits of 22amp each, go to another 50 amp breaker. That's 88 amps going thru a pair of 50 amp double breakers ( for you Roy, 50 +50 = 100amp total capacity).

Litz wire is made up of multiple strands of enamel wire, the more strands the better, but the number of wires is determined by the highest frequency you want to pass. We used Litz wire in the transformers of our 5 KW switching power supplies for Navy Radars. These 5KW supplies were then ganged together to create 100's of kilowatts of power.

I don't have to justify myself to you Roy, but in 1982~85 I worked on cutting edge switching power supplies in the Research and Development lab of the Radar Transmitter department of ITT, in Van Nuys, Calif. I won "employee of the year" got my walnut plaque and picture on the front page of the company newspaper. I invented many things for them, both single handedly and working as a team. Then I was promoted to Test Engineering, as a support test engineer, designing test equipment for the Navy. I've been retired now for about 15 years and have FORGOTTEN many things and NEVER KNEW it all to begin with. I was not strong on theory but experimented a lot as a child, I have decades of hands-on experience. I was self taught, I do NOT have a degree, so having not read text books from cover to cover, there are chapters I never learned. In many ways I am ignorant, but certainly not stupid. That will be the end of my vanity and I will not justify myself further.

You Roy, were teased your whole life by kids calling you Fu*ker and Fu*ks a lot. Your Dad called you an idiot about ten times a day (and maybe your mother and/or teachers) and I'm sure he beat you for both justified and not justified reasons. You hate yourself and everyone else. You can not keep a job. With a mouth and temper like yours, you could never work around professionals and exchange ideas or follow directions, because you know everything and your bosses and co-workers are all "idiots". I would tell you Roy, to seek a mental health professional, but then they're idiots too. You sorry little boy.

Looks like a standard 20KW electric furnace.

Nothing strange here except Roy Boy.

Then why are you doing it?

Then why are you NOT doing it?

Hahahaha... another "interpreter". Priceless.

Nope. Just the idiots.

I called you an idiot for the CRAP you posted. That is not an attack on you. It IS an attack on the retarded bullshit you posted.

Tell us, oh Guru of amperage... what is the service feed for the house?

That is not the criteria at all. I have designed and wound transformers that use 3, 5, or even 43 strands in the exact same transformer at the exact same frequency. It all depends on what one wants to do with the signal being transformed.

Oh Boy! I am impressed.

Oh boy! Current sharing!

Oh Boy! ITT!

Oh Boy! Awards and news articles!

Oh boy! A NON engineer calling himself an engineer!

You got that right.

Oh boy! Two whole decades!

And it shows. Oh Boy! I am NOT surprised!

Hahahaha... Good time to "bail" as so many Californians say... and do.

You do not know a goddamned thing about me, RETARD BOY!

Unlike you, I actually excelled in school and DID obtain a degree.

Nope. Just retarded Usenet posters, and idiots that raise their kids to be suicide bombers.

You are a goddamned retard.

Temper? I am having a greta time! Bwuahahahaha...

I work directly under the director of engineering, and the president, also an engineer.

I get along with all of my co-workers.

The first thing that you have said correctly since the moment you entered the thread.

You sorry retarded f*ck.

a kill file works best... you should be able to find a news reader that has a kill file feature. or maybe yours already does, look in the messages handling options or whatever.

its 'block sender' in MS Outlook express.

He is trying to Royally Fuch everyone here.

lol

so good he posted it twice ;)

I killfiled Roy on advice from a good newsgrouping netizen. Cheers Phil.
