ELECTRICITY - Wires, Splices And Joints

is made up of comprised multiple small size of metal wire bunch together to reach the necessary gauge.

• Stranded wire

• Solid wire

• Braid wire

• Coaxial wire

• Twin lead cable

it is made up of single metal wire.

• Stranded wire

• Solid wire

• Braid wire

• Coaxial wire

• Twin lead cable

it can be flat or round composed of multiple strands of wire braid as 1 which is used in a very high voltage system.

• Stranded wire

• Solid wire

• Braid wire

• Coaxial wire

• Twin lead cable

it has inner conductor surround by insulating layer.

• Stranded wire

• Solid wire

• Braid wire

• Coaxial wire

• Twin lead cable

a conductor separated with flat insulation used to pick up signal of radio and TV.

• Stranded wire

• Solid wire

• Braid wire

• Coaxial wire

• Twin lead cable

it is use to keep service wire from too much pulling or pressure.

• Western Union splices

• Rat-tail joint

• Underwriter’s knot

• T-joint or Top splice

• Cross joint

it is used in wires that is seldom pulled.

• Western Union splices

• Rat-tail joint

• Underwriter’s knot

• T-joint or Top splice

• Cross joint

used in wiring lamp into receptacle to avoid the wire from pulling out from screw terminals.

• Western Union splices

• Rat-tail joint

• Underwriter’s knot

• T-joint or Top splice

• Cross joint

used for extending a branched circuit from the main source.

• Western Union splices

• Rat-tail joint

• Underwriter’s knot

• T-joint or Top splice

• Cross joint

the same procedure as in tap joint but here you will use two main and done side  by side of the wire where you will do the joint.
