The type of solder that is to be used on electrical equipment should have a rosin core. Acid core solder is not recommended because it the acid gets inadvertently placed on other components, the acid will start to corrode the other components. This type of soldering usually pertains to printed circuit (PC) boards.
The electrical code does not allow the use of soldered connections as it did when knob and tube wiring was in fashion. This is because of the high amperage generated by fault currents that would melt the soldered connections and open circuits that should remain closed during the fault. This is mainly to do with the soldering of neutral connections.

Why solder wire is used for welding electrical wire?
gavaron khudko nahin aata to mere paas chle aaye !! <<>> In North America this procedure is not allowed any more. It was dismissed from use when knob and tubing wiring became obsolete. Now proper approved connectors have replaced the old solder pot. Junctions are now made in electrical boxes where as with knob and tube, the splice just required a half western splice, soldered joint and wrapped with friction tape.

What is the silver content of silver solder?
Solder is manufactured in hundreds of different grades and compositions for thousands of different applications. Solder that might be described as "Silver solder" is most commonly commercially manufactured in about 50 different compositions with silver contents of up to 40% and is priced accordingly. Silver solder is often used in jewellery making and repair, engineering and many electrical manufacturing processes.
What color is the common wire used in electrical wiring?

What is soldering gun used for?
It melts solder. Solder was originally a mix of lead and tin that was used to join copper to copper (pipes and wiring) It is in the shape of a pistol, but does not shoot anything.
What is a solder reel?
A reel of solder used for joining electrical circuits together on circuit boards. Solder is made of a mixture of tin and lead and sometimes has has flux (a form of acid) in the core of the solder to ensure a clean surface for the solder to flow into.
A reddish-orange element used for electrical wiring?
Copper is a reddish brown element used for electrical wiring as it is a good conductor of electricity.

Copper is more commonly used in electrical wiring than iron.
Lead forms part of electrical solder used for joining wires. Explain why lead can be used for this purpose but mercury cannot.?
A solder used for joining wires needs to be solid at working temperature when used in electrical devices. Mercury is a liquid and cannot be used. Mercury is used to make electrical connection in certain switches where contact is temporary and reversible.
Used in electrical wiring and pennies?
copper
