 TECHNICAL TERMS:
INSLROTUA
•Insulator - is a material whose internal
electric charges do not flow freely
 TECHNICAL TERMS:
JINTO
•Joint – a point where two things are
joined
 TECHNICAL TERMS:
SPLESIC
•Splices – to combine, to unite two things
 RAT TAIL
•This kind of joint is commonly
used to join two or more
conductors inside the junction
box.
 PLAIN TAP JOINT
•This is used where the tap wire is under
considerable tensile stress circuit.
TOOLS & MATERIALS

1. Long Nose Plier

2. Lineman’s Plier
3. Side Cutting Plier
4. Solid Wire #14

 STEPS IN SPLICING A RAT TAIL JOINT

1. Strip the wire insulator at the ends of the

conductor to be joined at about 50 mm. Clean
both wires to be joined.

 STEPS IN SPLICING A PLAIN TAP JOINT

1. Strip the tap wire end about 75 mm. and the

main wire end about 25 mm.

2. Place the wires in crossed position

intersecting about 5 mm from the
insulation of the tap wire and the main wire.
