9. BASIC SPLICES
AND JOINTS

10. Objectives:
• At the end of the class, you will be
able to identify the different
electrical joint and splices. You are
also expected to understand the
importance of the different joints
and splices in electrical work.

11. ELECTRIC SPLICE - is the act of
removing the outer shell of a wire,
exposing the inside and connecting
to another wire that is also spliced.
ELECTRIC JOINT - Connect all the
positive and negative charges in
each level, ensuring that no
connections overlap.

12. Conductor
• A material through which electric current can
pass. In general, metals are good conductors.
Copper or aluminum is normally used to
conduct electricity in commercial and
household systems.

13. Electrical Insulator
• a material whose internal electric
charges do not flow freely, and
therefore make it nearly impossible
to conduct an electric current under
the influence of an electric field.

15. RAT TAIL
Rat Tail splice is kind of splice commonly
used to join two or more conductors
inside the junction box.

16. Y E C I P L S

17. Y - SPLICE
This method of wrapping is generally
used or small cables because the
strands are flexible and all can be
wrapped in one operation.

19. FIXTURE JOINTS
An electric connection between two
conductors, formed by crossing their
bare ends, wrapping one end around the
other, and then folding them over.

20. ERNWEST NOINU TROHS EIT

21. WESTERN UNION SHORT TIE
This is the most widely used splice or
joint in interior wiring installation to
extend the length of wire from one point
to another.

22. ERNWEST NOINU GLON EIT

23. WESTERN UNION LONG TIE
This is used extensively for outside
wiring to extend the length of wire
from one end to another.

25. P A T N I A L P

26. PLAIN TAP
This is used in outside work for
joining a tap wire through a
conductor.
