How to Install the High Voltage Two Way Splices

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing high voltage two way splices safely and effectively.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

High voltage connectors, Cable ties, Hose clamps

  1. Prepare the cable

    Train the cable into its final position, mark the splice center line, and cut excess cable from each end.

  2. Strip the cable

    Remove the cable jacket, shield, and insulation from the conductors for a distance of 1/2 connector length plus a minimum of 1/2 inch.

  3. Insert the conductor

    Fully insert the conductor into the connector ensuring proper alignment.

  4. Crimp the connector

    Make the first crimp at one end of the connector next to the taper, then make a second crimp at the other end of the connector next to the taper.

  5. Overlap crimping

    Crimp in overlapping steps from the 'start overlap' line towards the connector ends, ensuring no ridges are left.

  6. Final crimping

    Repeat the crimping process with the tool rotated 90 degrees to ensure the connector is round and avoid flash and ridges.

  7. Verify connections

    Use a multimeter to check the integrity of the connections and ensure there are no shorts.
