8-GALILEO QUIZ NO.3 (3RD GRADING)WIRE SPLICES AND JOINTS

It is a type of wire splices and joints which is used on large solid conductors where it is difficult to wrap the heavy tap wire around the main wire.

• Wrapped Tap

• Cross joint

• Western union Long tie

• Western union short tie

It is a type of wire splices and joints which is extensively for outside wiring to extend the length of wire from one end to another.

• Wrapped Tap

• Cross joint

• Western union Long tie

• Western union short tie

It is a type of wire splices and joints which is 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.

• Wrapped Tap

• Cross joint

• Western union Long tie

• Western union short tie

It is a type of wire splices and joints which is the most widely used splice or joint in interior wiring installation to extend the length of wire from one point to another.

• Wrapped Tap

• Cross joint

• Western union Long tie splice

• Western union short tie splice

It is a type of wire splices and joints which is commonly used to join two or more conductors inside the junction box.

• Wrapped Tap

• Plain tap joint

• Knotted tap

• Rat Tail or Pig Tail

It is a type of wire splices and joints where the tap wire is under heavy tensile stress.

• Wrapped Tap

• Plain tap joint

• Knotted tap

• Rat Tail or Pig Tail

It is a type of wire splices and joints where the method of wrapping is generally used on small cables because the strands are flexible and all can be wrapped in one operation.

• Y-splice

• Plain tap joint

• Knotted tap

• Rat Tail or Pig Tail

Type of wire splices and joints used where the tap wire is under considerable tensile stress circuit.

• Y-splice

• Plain tap joint

• Knotted tap

• Rat Tail or Pig Tail

This is used as a temporary tap usually done in constructions sites. The easy twist will facilitate tap wire movement

• Duplex cross joint

• Plain tap joint

• Aerial tap

• Western union short-tie splice

This is a two-tap wire turned simultaneously and is used where the two tap wire is under heavy tensile stress

• Duplex cross joint

• Plain tap joint

• Aerial tap

• Western union short-tie splice
