BASIC ELECTRICITY 4
SOLDERING
Soldering is the joining of metals by means of a molten filler metal (solder) which has a
melting point below that of the bare materials. Depending on the minimum working
temperature, to which the parts being soldered must be heated in order to begin the
soldering process, soldering is divided into:
-
1.1
Soft Soldering
The form of soldering most frequently used in the electrical and electronic industries is soft
soldering. Soldering irons, with a power between 10 and 100 Watts, are used to heat the
point to be soldered.
1.2
1.2.1
Preparation
The surface must be metallically clean. Heat up the soldering iron until the solder spreads
over its surface. Tin the point with the aid of the soldering flux; wipe off excess solder with
a cloth.
1.2.2
The soft solders for heavy metals are usually tin-lead alloys. Cored solder is generally
used for soldering electrical equipment.
There is a standard code for solder:
LSn 50 Pb = 50 % Sn + 50 % Pb; melting point = 210C.
LSn 60 Pb = 60 % Sn + 40 % Pb; melting point = 190C.
Sn = tin; Pb = lead.
Cored solder consists of a tube of solder surrounding a resin core (distilled pine resin),
which acts as the flux.
1.3
Active flux
Active flux has a chemical action and removes the oxide film and grease from the
metal surface. The residual active flux must be removed from work after soldering.
NOTE:
Never use active flux on electrical work!
The typical active fluxed suitable for other than electrical work includes: Zinc chloride
solution (killed spirit); Ammonium chloride solution.
-
Non-active flux
Heat and moisture will not convert the residual non-active flux into a harmful agent.
Typical non-active fluxes are resin (powder or paste) and tallow, which is commonly
used by plumbers for wiped joints.
Purposes:
-
They reduce the surface tension of the motten solder to approximately 1/3 as a result
of which it flows better.
In order to be sure that after soldering the work metal does not suffer damage from the
flux, cored solder is used (because it has resin flux). It may be necessary to employ
another type of flux for tinning (mixture of tallow and sal-ammoniac, soldering fluid), i.e.,
for iron, resistance material and large soldered areas. These operations must always be
carried out away from the equipment so that the vapours given off when the flux vaporizes
do not damage parts of the equipment.
After use, remains of the flux must be carefully removed (wash off with trichlorethylene).
1.4
Soldering Procedure
1.4.1
The mechanical connection must first be made because both hands are used for
soldering. The pint of the soldering iron is held with one hand against the workpiece to
heat it. Some solder must always be supplied to the point of the tip to provide a large
contact area, thus ensuring optimum heat transfer.
When the workpiece has reached the soldering temperature the other hand is used to
transfer solder to the workpiece from the other side (not to the tip of the soldering iron).
The soldering iron and the solder are then removed and the soldered joint is allowed to
cool without vibration.
NOTE:
Any remains of solder must be cleaned occasionally from the tip, (preferably with a damp
cloth) or if it has become covered with scale due to overheating, it must then be retained.
1.4.2
Depending on the type of joint and it's position, the soldering iron is used from below or
from the side. The contours of the Part being soldered should just be visible.
Only very thin wires should be twisted together, otherwise it is difficult to separate the
soldered joint in the event of errors. Protruding ends of solder and wire should be cut off
after soldering. If possible not more than two wires should be connected to one soldered
joint.
Correct joint: the solder has a brightly polished surface and a smooth solder fillet.
10
Burnt joint: the fillet solder is formed, but the surface of the
solder is matt (rough).
Cause: the temperature of the soldered joint was too high.
The flux had vaporized before it could remove the oxide
from the soldered joint.
Cracked surface; cause: the soldered joint was subject to
vibration when cooling.
1.4.3
Make a mechanically firm connection. Do not hold the wire in the hand!
11
Apply pressure to the connecting wire so that it is gripped in the soldering tag. This
saves time when soldering. If necessary, attach provisional bridging wires on one side,
then re-solder correctly on both sides.
Clean the soldering iron. Dab fresh solder on the point of the
Soldering iron and flick it off (make sure that the tip of the soldering iron is not loose);
the clean iron is now bright, but dry.
Soldering Process:
12
Withdraw the solder and the soldering iron and Shake the remaining solder of the
soldering iron.

16
The preparation for flame soldering is the same as that for using a soldering iron (clean
the surfaces thoroughly, press parts together and apply flux).
1.7.1
Heat up the parts, slowly and evenly, with the flame, to the soldering temperature.
Use poor conductors of heat as a support for the part when soldering (asbestos,
fireclay etc.).
The solder must be caused to melt by the heat of the parts (not by
the flame).
If the thickness of the parts is not the same, direct the flames on the thicker part.
When the solder has flowed satisfactorily, remove the flame immediately (do not
overheat).
For soldering large surfaces "soldering paste" can also be used; this consists of a mixture
of powdered solder and flux.
17
The soldering paste is spread on the work. The part is then heated to the soldering
temperature with the blowlamp.
The supply of heat takes place through the work piece with the larger mass (correct
method).
The work piece with the smaller mass is heated more than the larger. The solder melts in
the flame (wrong method).
1.7.2
The use of an open flame always involves the risk of accidents and fire.
Therefore, the following precautions should be taken:
-
Do not leave any inflammable objects or liquids near the flame (if possible cover with a
protective asbestos sheet).
Have means available for extinguishing fires (fire extinguisher, water and sand).
Protect your hands, hair and clothing from the open flame.
Close the valve of the blowlamp or burner immediately after soldering has been
completed.
18
2.1
2.1.1
Continuity
Ohmmeter
For testing whether current is flowing through a conductor, simple resistance meters
(ohmmeters) or special continuity testers can be used. An ohmmeter consists of an
ammeter with a scale calibrated in ohms (), a balancing resistance for zeroing and a
voltage source (dry battery).
19
Continuity testers usually consist of a voltage source and an optical or acoustic indicator
(light or buzzer).
Circuit of a continuity tester with indicator lamp. Range from 0 to approximately 100 .
Function: if the circuit is closed and the resistance Rx being measured is sufficiently low or
a conductor, then a buzzer sounds.
Some continuity testers have both a signal lamp and a buzzer. The test range can be
extended up to 5000 by incorporating a transistor for circuit amplification.

Continuity testers with optical and acoustic indication (transistor buzzer) can also be used
as pocket lamps.
2.2
Voltage Testing
Voltage testers and test lamps are used to determine whether a voltage is present in
appliances or equipment. These Instruments do not enable the value of the voltage to be
measured.
2.2.1
Voltage Testers
These usually take the form of a screwdriver with an indicator lamp (neon lamp) in the
handle.
21
How is it indicated whether the voltage is direct or alternating? With direct voltage only
one electrode (the negative pole) lights up; with alternating voltage, both electrodes light
up.
The circuit is connected to earth via the human body; a series resistance must, therefore,
be incorporated to reduce the current through the neon lamp to a harmless level.
The disadvantage of voltage testers is that they light up at very low currents (i.e. normal
insulation leakage currents) and, therefore, may give a false indication of voltage.
Voltage testers have a working range between 100 and 750 V.
2.2.2
Test Lamps
These Instruments incorporate incandescent lamps and are used to determine the voltage
level. In contrast to voltage testers, the lamps are connected across the voltage source. If
the test lamp signals the existence of a voltage, this indicates that there are no breaks or
high resistances in the circuit. The working range of a low voltage test lamp ranges from
about 100 to 500 V.
22
With many types, some illumination of the lamps is visible at 42 V. Since there are no
commercial 500 V incandescent lamps two identical shockproof lamps, each with a rated
voltage of 250 V, are connected in series.
Test probe, handles knurled and shielded to prevent the hands from slipping.
Procedure: when testing the absence of voltage between conductors, test conductor
against conductor but always test each conductor with respect to earth.
Many electrical accidents occur only because defective test instruments were used, and
these fall to register the voltage.
NOTE:
For voltage testing all test Instruments must be checked for safety and satisfactory
operation prior to use.
23
2.3
Insulation Testing
2.3.1
Insulation Testers
These are resistance-meters (ohmmeters) with very high measuring voltages (between
500 and 1000 V) and measuring ranges up to 1000 M.
The measuring voltage (direct voltage) is generated by a hand driven d.c. generator or a
battery inverter.
24
NOTE:
The positive pole is, therefore, connected to earth so that the leakage current does not
have electrolytic action (salts increase the contact resistance). Testing is performed with
direct voltage. This should not be less than 500 V.
A battery inverter changes direct voltage into alternating voltage, and by the use of a
transformer this AC voltage is stepped up to a value between 500 and 1500 V. A rectifier
then converts it back into direct voltage.
2.3.2
Switch on all switches, so that the switch circuit will also be measured. Disconnect the
consumer loads (remove lamps, disconnect motors etc.).
Take measurement.
25
2.3.3
26
In sound installations Rins. is usually higher than 10 M; values of about 0.5 M may
indicate faulty insulation.
27
Measuring techniques can be divided into true measurement, and testing. True
measurement is the determination of a completely unknown quantity, i.e., a voltage or
current.
The sole purpose of testing is to establish whether a prescribed value, termed the "desired
value" exists and the limits within which it lies i.e., the cell voltage of an accumulator or the
water temperature of a radiator.
The measured quantity is the physical quantity to be measured (i.e., voltage, current,
electrical resistance etc).
The measured value is the value obtained from the reading of a measuring instrument; it
is composed of the numerical value and the unit of the measured quantity (i.e., 3 V, 4 A, 5
).
The reading is given by the position of the pointer on a scale.
3.1
Measured Quantities
3.2
The magnitude of a voltage is measured with a voltmeter. The two terminals of the
voltmeter are connected to the poles of the voltage source.
28
NOTE:
Voltmeters have a high internal resistance and a low current consumption. The coil can
have a large number of turns of thin wire.
3.3
The magnitude of a current is measured with an ammeter. The two terminals of the
ammeter are connected directly into a closed circuit (in series).
NOTE:
Ammeter coils have a low resistance and a low voltage drop. The coil can have a few
turns of thick wire. When connected directly to the voltage source the Instrument can be
damaged by high currents.
29
3.4
3.5
Measuring Circuits
3.5.1
Measurement of Voltage
NOTE:
When testing direct voltage, check that the positive terminal of the measuring instrument
is connected to the positive side of the voltage source. The measuring range of the
voltmeter must be suited to the value of the voltage being measured.
3.5.2
Measurement of Current
30
NOTE:
To obtain a reading on an ammeter a current must flow through the measuring instrument.
The load being measured is in series with the ammeter. The measuring range of the
ammeter must suit the value of the current being measured.
3.5.3
Measurement of Resistance
NOTE:
The measurement of resistance is a measurement of current; a voltage source is
connected in series with the measuring instrument. If a resistance is connected to the
ohmmeter, a closed circuit is formed, and charge-carriers flow through the measuring
instrument; these indicate the measured quantity on the scale which is calibrated in ohms.
31
3.5.4
Ammeters are connected in the circuit in which the current is to be measured; voltmeters
are connected across points between which the voltage difference is to be measured. An
ammeter must, therefore, only produce a low voltage drop, that is, its terminal resistance
must be low.
A voltmeter, by contrast, must only take a low current, that is, its terminal resistance must
be as high as possible. When it is required to measure current, voltage and resistance
with one measuring instrument universal meters are employed. The instrument can be
adapted to suit the particular types of current and measured quantities by means of
selector switches or plugs. Before taking any measurement it is important to see the
selector switch to the largest measuring range and then to adjust it, in steps, to the
measured value. The measuring instruments are generally moving-coil instruments, with
an integral measuring rectifier for measurement of alternating quantities.

Measuring Instruments
Sufficient distance from iron masses (about 10 cm) and from heavy-current power
lines.
The pointer must coincide with the "zero" line when the measuring instrument is deenergised. lf not, this must be corrected by adjusting the zero knob.
Avoid polishing the glass disc during measurement because the static charge may
affect the reading. Such charges can be removed by breathing on the glass.
33
34
Every year many people suffer injuries as a result of using electrical appliances;
sometimes this involves serious burn and, in an alarming number of cases, death ensues.
It is the duty of the electrician to protect both himself and his colleagues against this
danger.
The technical specialist must protect the layman!!
For the safety of our colleagues the highest importance must be accorded to the
prevention of accident at work. In any work concerned with the generation, transmission
and use of electric power, specific standards and rules apply (service and operating
instructions).
4.1
the electrical installation must not cause damage to material or property (fire)
4.2
35
36
Special caution is required when working on high-voltage equipment (1000 V and above).
Only trained personnel may, therefore, be employed on this equipment.
4.3
Special attention must be paid to the various electrical hand tools (hand drills, grinding
wheels etc.), especially flexible leads to lights and plugs. Take defective equipment out of
service immediately and repair it (renew defective leads immediately). Observe the rules
for relieving tension in drives and for preventing rotation. Check that the earth conductor is
not broken at any point. Also check that electrical appliances, switches, Installation
equipment etc., are marked with safety symbols.
Electrical installation (connections to dwellings, rising conductors etc.) must always be
carried out in accordance with the regulations of the respective electricity suppliers.
When the design of the equipment does not comply with the regulations, the manufacturer
can be held liable for any damage which may occur. The electrician faces injury not only
from electrical current, lack of care, thoughtlessness and haste but also due to handling
defective tools.
37
The use of faulty tools which can cause injury to the hands.
NOTE:
-
38
4.4
39
Set up ladders correctly and do not overload (chain must have proper tension).
Do not use ladders which are too short; the top two rungs should be used as a hand
grip.
There should be railing around the scaffolding (risk of tools falling off).
40
41
4.5
The electrician also has to work with various poisonous substances and materials, such
as lead, high-lead content alloys, chemical compounds containing lead (red lead oxide) or
with acids and alkalis. Measures should, therefore, be employed to prevent any damage
to health.
To avoid lead poisoning:
-
No smoking.
No eating.
42
Wear special clothing to protect the body and hands against burns due to acid or
caustic substances.
NOTE:
Never pour water into concentrated acids, but the reverse.
Special precautions are also necessary when working with bottled gases (propane and
butane etc).
Protect bottles from exposure to sunlight or other heating effects.
Do not store in pits or cellars because leakage of gas can cause death from asphyxiation
(bottled gases are heavier than air).
4.6
Work with tools and use the adequate protective means, according to regulations.
Comply with accident notices and warning signs and read service and operating
instructions.
43
44
ACCIDENT PREVENTION
5.1
General
Currents exceeding 50 mA are highly dangerous to human beings. Such currents can be
attained with voltages of 65 V (when the contact area is large).
The strength of the current flowing through a man, who finds himself in the circuit,
depends on the voltage and on the contact resistance. The contact resistance depends in
turn on the contact area, the contact pressure, the humidity and the voltage.
NOTE:
Higher contact pressure - lower resistance.
Severe moisture or damp - lower resistance.
The higher the voltage, the higher the current.
Conclusions
When there is a high contact pressure, large contact area, damp surface and voltages
greater than 100 V, the total resistance can be 1000 . For a mains voltage of 220 V,
according to Ohm's Law a current of approximately 0.22 A flows through the body (if the
person is sitting or standing in a bath the current could be as high as 1 A. Severe pains
are felt, and depending on the path taken by the current, there is uncontrolled contraction
of the muscles, similar to a cramp. The muscles then no longer respond to the signals
from the brain. The current produces pulsations in the heart, shock, and paralysis of the
respiratory system. Lack of oxygen causes destruction of parts of the brain which are
essential for life and the person dies.
45
NOTE:
A four minute interruption of the oxygen supply to the brain can cause death or severe
damage if resuscitation of the person, who has stopped breathing, is not commenced at
once.
5.2
1 mA - perception threshold.
15 mA - cramp (the muscles no longer respond to the brain).
50 mA - danger level (prolonged action - highly dangerous).
100 mA - longer than 1 second - death.
High voltages are especially dangerous (more than 1000 V with respect to earth). They
produce very serious burns and usually cause death. Direct current is also dangerous,
although cases of death due to the passage of current through the body rarely occur.
Heavy arcing may however cause burns. Moreover, the chemical action of direct current
leads to decomposition of the blood and the internal organs.
First Aid must, therefore, be carried out rapidly and resolutely, but without haste. Above
all, one should not endanger oneself or others.
5.3
The circuit must be switched off immediately (i.e., switch off the main switch, withdraw the
plug etc.), taking care to insulate oneself. Wrap the hands in a dry cloth or piece of
clothing and insulate the feet from the ground with insulating materials such as rubber. In
the case of high voltages switch off first because it is dangerous to approach the injured
person.
46
5.3.1
First Aid
Immediately move the unconscious person on to his side (do not administer anything) so
that his mouth - the lowest point - faces downwards, allowing mucus and blood (in the
case of fall) to flow out. If breathing has ceased, begin artificial respiration immediately.
One hand under the chin, the other on the forehead of the unconscious person frees the
respiratory passages (incline the head well back). Remove any objects from the mouth
(i.e., false teeth).
Take a deep breath and blow your breath into the nose of the unconscious person
(mouth-to-nose resuscitation). If this is delayed, blow into the slightly open mouth (mouthto-mouth resuscitation). Repeat this respiration until the arrival of the rescue service or the
doctor. If circulation ceases (heart failure) begin massaging (heart) at once. This provides
a last chance, otherwise death to the injured person can result.
After stimulating breathing with the mouth, press the lower breastbone against the spine
with rapid strokes five times in succession; this will compress the heart, and the blood,
enriched with oxygen, is conducted to the brain cells; they cannot become paralysed.
NOTE:
One mouth resuscitation to five breast compressions. Inform the doctor and rescue
service. Place a guide to lead the doctor to the accident place. Inform the police of the
accident (obligatory!).
5.4
Lay the injured person down in a comfortable position, protecting him against cold, heat
and damp etc.
In the event of fractures, dislocations, position limbs comfortably. As the use of
anaesthetics may be necessary later, do not give the patient any food or drink.
47
Do not wash lacerations or contused wounds with the exception of acid burns; cover with
sterilized bandages and dress the wound; leave further treatment to the doctor.
Stop any heavy bleeding by finger pressure or by a pressure bandage (tourniquet). In the
event of gas poisoning, provide access to fresh air (prohibit open flames due to risk of
explosion).
If the skin has suffered burns, wash with a copious supply of water. Clothing soaked in a
caustic substance should be removed immediately. When the eyes have been burnt by
caustic substances, wash them with water (10 - 15 minutes); protect the other eye
(syringes may have a harmful action). Apply or dry, sterilized dressing or bandage to the
burns. The use of oil, ointment and powder is forbidden.
Extinguish burning clothing with water or smother the flames with a blanket. If the injured
person feels a prickly or numb sensation in the spine, there is the risk of paralysis
(fractured vertebra). Take great care when laying the Patient down. The injured person
must remain in the body position as found until a doctor arrives to take over the
responsibility.
