Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors
Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger
splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.
Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable
Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable
After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape.
Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape,
Fig. 17.
Step 5: Tape the Cable
Fig. 18 Proper Taping
Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the jacket you removed to make the repair.
Typical Electrical Repair
TYPICAL ELECTRICAL REPAIR
An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is open, active components do not energize. A
short circuit is an unwanted connection between one part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse
to blow or a circuit breaker to open.
SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION
^
Locate the damaged wire.
^
Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.
^
For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire.
