Subject to technical amendments.

4.1 Spot welding

•

Set up the high-current transformer as shown
in Fig. 1 and place it on a heat-resistant sur-
face.

•

Attach the contact pins so that they face one
another.

•

Switch on the web coil and hold a pair of sheet
metal strips between the contact pins.

To achieve a strong point weld, take two identical
overlapping sheet metal strips and align their cor-
ners. Apply gentle pressure and position the cor-
ners flush between the electrodes.

4.2 Experiment for melting a nail

•

Set up the high-current transformer as shown
in Fig. 2 and place it on a heat-resistant sur-
face.

•

Turn the clamping device and insert a nail
through the holes at the sides.

•

Press the handles together and clamp the nail
tight with the hand screws.

•

Switch on the mains coil.

Owing to the strong current, the nail starts glowing
and melts completely after a short while.

•

After conducting the experiment, allow the
remains of the nail to cool for at least five
minutes.
