When you're using a twist-on connector to splice a stranded wire with a solid wire, it's a good idea to strip an extra 1/8 inch of insulation from the stranded wire, and to hold the wires together so the stranded wire extends 1/8 inch past the solid. This helps the wire connector...
Take one set of wires that you intend to splice and place the ends/terminals next to each other—negative to negative (-), positive to positive (+). You want the wires to be in-phase. If you're unsure,test the speaker wires with a battery. Using the wire cutters, strip off the ex...
Splice-bolt connector with copper alloy spacer for aluminum-to-copper connection Splicing tape Two adjustable wrenches Standard connectors like these won't work for copper-to-aluminum connections. You may find it necessary to connect, or splice, an aluminum wire to a copper wire when installing a...
The ground wire is already bare but I'll need to remove insulation from the black, red, and white conductors before they can be connected to a device or to a splice. Excerpting from HOW to CONNECT WIRES to a RECEPTACLE or SWITCH Above I'm showing the wire strip-back gauge area marked...
The nice thing is you can instantly inspect the integrity of the splice to see if water has intruded because both the tubing and the grease is essentially transparent (if the splice is green or pink it's had water intrusion). SeaBoss2556 years ago I live in Florida and I have a boat...
This guide provides instructions on how to wire a 4-way light switch, including replacing a 4-way switch and wiring a new 4-way switch into a set of two 3-way switches. Diagrams are also provided.
The Black Wire - Power In (source) attaches to one of the switch screw terminals Fixture wiring exits the switch box The Black Wire - Power Out wiring attaches to the other switch screw terminal The White Neutral wires splice together
Conductor splice Distribution tie Formed wire insulator tie Distribution tie is used as an alternative for armor rods as it has a tie wire and encased with an insulator. A distribution tie is installed with a pad when used on the naked conductor. Its main purpose is to offer protection agains...
3Slide the compression sleeveonto the bare wire ends, and then crimp the sleeve with a multipurpose tool or the end of a wire cutter that’s made for crimping rather than cutting. Remember that the bare metal sleeve and the bare wires will conduct electricity! At the very least, wrap thi...
In the image above with the splice in the cable, the module will measure the current flowing to all devices plugged into the power strip. Figure 4: For module measurement using a CT, the load wire (black in the US), is passed through the opening of the CT either via a split core ...
