Hi have been asked to fix connection on 3 phase printing machine the cable has disconnected for poor connection where cable grab been pressed obviously its not soldered, are there some high temp solder kits available?
 
Can you post a picture of the damaged connection?

Standard solder usually melts under 250 degrees celsius, silver solder
is usually above 400 celsius depending on the exact percentage of silver in the rod. I wouldn't recommend making an electrical connection to a heating element by soldering, mechanically crimped lugs would usually be better.
