@Aleida Michener nah no one gives a shit....spam scam

Really useful and easy to follow. I have a broken outdoor armored cable that I was looking to repair with this joint, but had no idea how until I saw this tutorial.

What a super video,super help ,haven’t done one for at least 50 years and this wonderful video really helped thank you

I’m an English cable jointer- so interesting seeing the difference cables

Excellent video, very well explained and demonstrated. Very many thanks.

Great video . Thanks for uploading.

Very professional! You need to come and teach City Power here in Johannesburg how to do the job properly.

First time I used one of these I was surprised at the coil spring for securing the earth braid. Good video.

Was the armour continuity okay? I just don't think I could bring myself to trust those springs to bring enough force.

Proper job! Great vid , thank you .

great video, how was the megger test? achieved >1000M ohm?

Good job !!!

Hello. It is probably better to use some crimping lugs for connection. In your case maybe better to leave those screw type lugs bare as the compound would then prevent the screws becoming loose acting as a locking mechanism. Cheers

That's the idea behind it, yep. And not sure if I heard it: This fluid is kind of dangerous when you breathe it in (especially since it takes some minutes), so take precautions. Usually, with those muffs, you get a hopper. That eases the handling a lot.

Very helpful as the box instructions with the kit are shite. I had a section cut out of my SWA so had 2 separate connections. Thanks for the video! 👍

Thanks

hey there. Didn't the instruction say to use sandpaper at the cable ends for good bond with resin ?

Nice job mate. Well explained by your spark. Very surprised by those earth coils. Seems loose? I'd be tempted to stick a hose clamp or something lol.

Must admit I thought they looked a little shonky, but I guess there is enough surface area to ensure the required impedance.

that earth connection is wrong you should fold it double in the coil spring and you should tape up the coil springs to make sure no resin gets between the armour and the earthing cable

Cheers.

what brand the orange cutter ?

Somebody is slurping tea 😂

Can you advise on armoured cable Y brance

how to join SWA running along the cable tray ?

Can you put this in water before full cure ?

Grab yourself a ck armour cutter they are so much easier than using a hacksaw especially if your doing multiple small armoureds 👊🏻

IS THIS A ST JT 300/ 300 SQMM OR ?

Is the earth braid too long? Looks like it was touching the inside of the mould. Personally I wouldn't put insulation tape around the butt splices, better to let the resin get full access to the whole joint. We use a very similar system offshore, subsea, and we don't want any voids within the joint assembly, as this is a potential for water ingress. Also a good idea to do continuity and insulation test before you box up and pour the resin.

Just like a lineman, all he needs is a hammer and tape,they do make tools to strip that insulation, and a wood ruler to make measurements, and knee pads,really great explanation, hope there is no apprentices watching he better be glad it's not pouring down rain and playing in the mud

Can I ask why are you doing this, is it for power in your garden, shed etc? I’m wanting a power point at the end of my garden, approx 50 meters and I got so confused on what cable, how to fit it etc, majority of the time it will be just used low power, led lights but I want the capability of powering power tools, I.e 2000, 3000 Watts. I can either surface place around the garden, or even dig down but I believe you then need different size cable due to heat ? Any advice greatly appreciated! Cheers

@GeekStreet

The reason this was done was because the shed at the back was moved and the existing amoured cable was too short so it needed to be extended. In your situation I would just put an outdoor socket of your house and get a long extension cable for when you need power at the back. Armoured cable is very expensive for your requirements a 2.5mm twin and earth should be sufficient, but best to consult an electrician.

Hi, you really should get an electrician, the longer the cable run the higher the voltage drop, to counteract this you need to use larger cable, all dependant on the maximum loading your likely to want, a twin socket could supply 26 amps, over loading the cable causes a heat increase, a mears calculator can be really useful when calculating cable sizes and voltage drop

You didn't need the earth braid, I've only ever known this to be done by using the armour as the earth and just pulling each strand away from the three phases, using the insulation tape to wrap around the armours to keep them together. Interesting to see a different way of doing it though.

@davidedwards6352

Жыл бұрын

You ALWAYS connect the armour to earth, that IS the earth for the cable.

@fuseservicesltd854

@@davidedwards6352 The armour should be earthed throuout it's length. It's to earth any tool that mag go before toucing live. That's the whole principal. Must be earhted at the source with a proper gland, not disregarded.

My eyes are sore. Just score a line round the inner insulation and pull it off. Then you won’t damage the inner cores and don’t have to dodgy score the inner all the way along 🤦‍♂️

Would be better to use self amalgamating tape on the ends instead of insulation tape which will then not fall apart over the years.

@DavidPrecious

Жыл бұрын

By the time the tape on the ends falls apart, the resin will have long since hardened - the tape is only there to prevent it leaking out before it's set. After that, it (and, arguably, even the plastic shell) is more or less redundant - the set resin is what provides the protection then.
