I also borrowed a 800W solder pot but did not have any information regarding working with Litz wire. The sample of Litz wire that I have is 1.5mm diameter with a layer 1.4mm thick PVC insulation. This insulation is quite tough and would be difficult to remove without damaging the fine strands that make up the Litz. I just put the end of the wire directly into the solder pot, which softened the PVC insulation so that it pulled off quite easily. I then removed the thin fibre strands that held wires together, dipped the wire end in flux then put it in the solder pot. After 30 seconds the all the individual wires seemed tinned. Does anyone have knowledge or experiance of this procedure? Am I going the right way about it? -- Regards, Peter, G3LDO
