Joints and Splice Flashcards
Is used to a great extent joining. Tap or other conductor to a through conductor as a branch or main circuit. This is used where the tap wire is under considerable tensile stress circuit.
Plain tap joint
Is used where the splice is subject to strain and slippage.
Knotted tap
Is a basic electrical splice that can be done with both solid stranded wires.
Rat Tail or Pig Tail
This method of wrapping is generally used on small cables because the strands are flexible and all can be wrapped in one operation.
Y-Splice
Mostly used on outside work, or in locations where wires are subjected to considerable movements. This is used as a temporary tap usually done in constructions sites. The easy twist will facilitate tap wire movement.
Aerial Tap
This is a two-tap wire turned simultaneously and is used where the two tap wire is under heavy tensile stress.
Duplex cross joint
This is the most widely used splice or joint in interior wiring installation to extend the length of wire from one point to another.
Western Union Short-tie Splice
This is used extensively for outside wiring to extend the length of wire from one end to another.
Western Union Long-tie Splice
The same application is done as in plain tap and the only difference is that this tap is a combination of two plain taps place side by side with each other.
Cross Joint
This is used on large solid conductors where it is difficult to wrap the heavy tap wire around the main wire.
Wrapped tap or Tee joint
- Devices that convert electrical energy into other forms of energy, for example heat, light or sound.
- like heaters and motors, are employed for tasks requiring basic energy conversion.
Electrical devices
-Devices that control the flow of electrons in order to perform a task.
- Such as computers and smartphones, are used for information processing, communication, and automation in daily life.
