My electrician drew my attention to some SWA termination going into metal enclosures ... in a dimly lit and unfinished outbuilding he asked ... "who did this gland ?"
An earth cable was soldered to the banjo, my Electrician has insisted the earth cable be crimped to a round hole lug and an M4 brass bolted connection made to the banjo instead, using brass nuts, bolts and washers.
What are the mechanics that make soldering unacceptable in this situation(according to my sparky).
Mains wires in some appliances terminate on a soldered circuit board ... what is the logic.
Is there ever a scenario where the solder would melt ?? or is there something in the conductivity of a soldered connection, as opposed to the brass.
