Do you have any tips on how to avoid "wounding the wire" where using too much force on pliers leaves a mark on the wire? My personal wire stripper has the same problem too
@BecomingAnElectrician
@BecomingAnElectrician Ай бұрын
This usually happens when the pliers are brand-new, the grips are very prominent. Overtime the pliers won't leave the harsh marks. What's more concerning is if you score the wire, such as if you use too small of a wire stripping gauge. If you really wanted, you could try taping the plier grips, or just use them for other tasks to dull the grips a little bit. becoming-an-electrician.com/

I have another question, whenever I use a wire stripper on a, let's say a no.14 AWG wire and use the same measurement on the wire stripper, it always leaves a small "cut" at the point where the insulation and copper wire is stripped, my current workplace is kinda strict on this kind of things as they demand that all electrical splices should have very few/no marks at all.

@@JamesB-oh6py It sounds like you are using the wrong size hole when stripping (make sure you're using solid for solid, and stranded for stranded). If you are using the right size, maybe try not squeezing as hard. You can always pull the insulation off with pliers too if you're very concerned. If you do make score marks, it is bad, and significantly weakens the copper electrical wire! becoming-an-electrician.com/

Here in Canada, I've mainly seen the blue Marrettes most common.. I assume it's a cost decision. Many times they'd buy barrels of the Marrettes. Wago's (square push in splice) often come with lights here. It's always important to make sure you've pushed in the wire to fully seat, as this is a common issue of lights not turning on.. the installer didn't strip the copper long enough, or didn't push it in hard enough for the connection to actually happen! Also, the ones that come in lights are usually the push-in wire connector type.. not the lever type, which are probably higher quality!

@@BecomingAnElectrician the wago 221 are with the levers. have all the ratings and infos printed on them, i personaly use the knipex NexStrip (to expensive for beginners) where you can set the strip depth right on the point and dont have to messure every time. but yeah wago is damn expensive the youtuber Greatscott has an amazing video about diffrent connectors. neat property for wago is that there are junctionboxes for different uses but in a country where the standart is completly different its hard to use a new technic. (i am very sorry for my english skills)

@@paulantony1981 Thanks for the info. Yeah this channel is meant for apprentice electricians, not do-it-yourselfers, so the knowledge applies to what companies typically provide to apprentice electricians on the jobsite in the real world.. which is all about reducing cost, and producing results. Therefore you'll see a lot of wire nuts (Marrettes).

Could u do a video on splicing stranded wire?? Lots of homeowners need to splice two 12 stranded with one 18 stranded for outdoor low voltage lighting. Thanks!

I do plan to create more splicing videos with various wire types as time permits.. for now, sometimes it's easiest just to hand twist them together.. or you can make them longer and fold back on itself if it's not holding in the Marrette (wire nut) very well!

Thank-you! If you notice, I didn't splice the whole wire to the very end! Just long enough for a tight strong splice, then I cut it off and rounded it. This is to save time on the jobsite!

Is this applicable to any multiple wires?

Can you clarify? Do you mean this video can relate to splicing wires of any size? Smaller wires, like #14-8 AWG, this video will relate. Once you get to bigger wire sizes, you often use lugs, or splice kits. becoming-an-electrician.com/
