How to make a twist of copper wires

Many may smile and say, what could be easier to take and twist the wires together, and that's it. But you are mistaken. Do not be so lightly to this very important element in the wiring. After all, poor quality twisting can cause sparks, overheating, and as a consequence - fire.

So let's learn how to do the right twist

Curl solid conductors

In order to twist these wires should be cut protective insulation from the wires of at least 4 cm, thus, be careful, you can not cut it like this:

Because in this way you create a deliberate breakdown in the vein that further twisting can lead to its breaking off. Cut away the insulation in such a way:

Then with a knife gently treat mine to clean off the oxide film, if you have sandpaper, it is better to use it:

After that connect two conductors at the bottom at an angle of 90 degrees, taking the pliers and twisting them together. here it is the connection should work.

Thereafter, the resulting compound is necessarily need to be insulated. For this fit absolutely any insulating tape, which you will find in his garage or utility room. For better insulation can also use a special tubing that is worn on the twist, and then squander all new tape for a secure fit.

We do twist flexible wire

The process of twisting the flexible wire is not much different from the above-described compound single-lived, but there are some nuances.

The first distinctive feature is that you do before you start to curl, you need to give extra rigidity veins. To do this, take the stripped end, clamp the pliers and to scroll on the axis of compaction of individual wires:

Then twist them together. Of course, you can then proceed immediately to the isolation of living, but such a connection over time will weaken, which can lead to tragic consequences.

In order to avoid this, you'll need a soldering iron with solder (how to solder can be found on my channel).

Heat it and Solder connection you should get something like this:

Once you've soldered twist, the contact is loose and will last a very long time. Then, just isolate the wires.

In this article you learned how to make a twist, you will now be able to check the correctness of the installation, if you hired expert, or to carry out this action on their own, which will save you money and give you confidence in the quality and safety your house.
