elektrodhållare

An elektrodhållare, often translated as electrode holder or electrode clamp, is a crucial piece of equipment in various electrical and industrial applications. Its primary function is to securely grip and maintain the position of an electrode during processes that involve electrical current or arc generation.

These devices are commonly found in welding, where they hold the welding electrode, allowing the operator to control the arc and deposit molten metal. In electrolysis, elektrodhållare are used to hold the electrodes submerged in an electrolyte solution, facilitating the passage of current for chemical reactions. They are also utilized in plasma cutting, electroplating, and other high-temperature or electrically intensive operations.

The design of an elektrodhållare can vary significantly depending on its intended use. For welding, they typically feature insulated handles for operator safety and spring-loaded jaws to provide a firm grip on the electrode. In laboratory or industrial settings, more robust and specialized holders might be employed, often made from conductive materials with precise adjustment mechanisms. Material selection is important, often incorporating heat-resistant and electrically conductive properties to ensure durability and functionality in demanding environments. The insulation is paramount to prevent electrical shocks to the user.
