@Aleida Michener nah no one gives a shit....spam scam
What a super video,super help ,haven’t done one for at least 50 years and this wonderful video really helped thank you
Really useful and easy to follow. I have a broken outdoor armored cable that I was looking to repair with this joint, but had no idea how until I saw this tutorial.
I’m an English cable jointer- so interesting seeing the difference cables
Excellent video, very well explained and demonstrated. Very many thanks.
Great video . Thanks for uploading.
Very professional!
You need to come and teach City Power here in Johannesburg how to do the job properly.
An exellent job sir.very well explained.
First time I used one of these I was surprised at the coil spring for securing the earth braid. Good video.
Thanks for the comment much appreciated!
It should be bent back over itself to help secure it (bit late to the party I know).
Was the armour continuity okay? I just don't think I could bring myself to trust those springs to bring enough force.
Proper job! Great vid , thank you .
Excellent, thanks for showing that. Cheers
Thanks for the comment much appreciated!
Great video - well detailed
So we’ll explained. Thank you so much.
Thankyou so much! this has helped a lot!
That was really helpful. I just fixed the cable that I damaged with the lawn mower!
Recommended you don't run swa across a lawn 👍
It's so cool my friend
great video, how was the megger test? achieved >1000M ohm?
Good job !!!
Can you advise on armoured cable Y brance
Great video
Thanks!
Can you put this in water before full cure ?
hey there. Didn't the instruction say to use sandpaper at the cable ends for good bond with resin ?
correct, Hence seepage.
what brand the orange cutter ?
Very helpful as the box instructions with the kit are shite. I had a section cut out of my SWA so had 2 separate connections. Thanks for the video! 👍
how to join SWA running along the cable tray ?
Nice job mate. Well explained by your spark. Very surprised by those earth coils. Seems loose? I'd be tempted to stick a hose clamp or something lol.
Thanks for the comment much appreciated. The coils are tight, but once the resin is dry it won't move.
These typ of constant force springs are also used in cable joints with heat shrinking covering
Zed Man there fine . They are constant force springs
Must admit I thought they looked a little shonky, but I guess there is enough surface area to ensure the required impedance.
that earth connection is wrong you should fold it double in the coil spring and you should tape up the coil springs to make sure no resin gets between the armour and the earthing cable
Somebody is slurping tea 😂
Hello. It is probably better to use some crimping lugs for connection. In your case maybe better to leave those screw type lugs bare as the compound would then prevent the screws becoming loose acting as a locking mechanism. Cheers
That's the idea behind it, yep. And not sure if I heard it: This fluid is kind of dangerous when you breathe it in (especially since it takes some minutes), so take precautions. Usually, with those muffs, you get a hopper. That eases the handling a lot.
Grab yourself a ck armour cutter they are so much easier than using a hacksaw especially if your doing multiple small armoureds 👊🏻
Cheers.
Is the earth braid too long? Looks like it was touching the inside of the mould. Personally I wouldn't put insulation tape around the butt splices, better to let the resin get full access to the whole joint. We use a very similar system offshore, subsea, and we don't want any voids within the joint assembly, as this is a potential for water ingress. Also a good idea to do continuity and insulation test before you box up and pour the resin.
Uther only ever used them a few times but understood that you doubled over the Earth braid under the spring after the first turn
+1 for testing before pouring resin back in
IS THIS A ST JT 300/ 300 SQMM OR ?
Thanks
Thanks, but can i make a joint for two flexible cables one is 3*10 mm2 CSA and the other is 3*35 mm2
No as I recon it would affect the seal, as you would have a small gap.
As long as load and loss is taken into account yes. As the sides cN be individually cut to fit the cable range for the kit
Can I ask why are you doing this, is it for power in your garden, shed etc? I’m wanting a power point at the end of my garden, approx 50 meters and I got so confused on what cable, how to fit it etc, majority of the time it will be just used low power, led lights but I want the capability of powering power tools, I.e 2000, 3000 Watts. I can either surface place around the garden, or even dig down but I believe you then need different size cable due to heat ? Any advice greatly appreciated! Cheers
The reason this was done was because the shed at the back was moved and the existing amoured cable was too short so it needed to be extended. In your situation I would just put an outdoor socket of your house and get a long extension cable for when you need power at the back. Armoured cable is very expensive for your requirements a 2.5mm twin and earth should be sufficient, but best to consult an electrician.
Geek Street Thanks for the reply, that’s what I have been using but it’s used all year round so I have been looking for a more permanent solution. Cheers
Your welcome.
Hi, you really should get an electrician, the longer the cable run the higher the voltage drop, to counteract this you need to use larger cable, all dependant on the maximum loading your likely to want, a twin socket could supply 26 amps, over loading the cable causes a heat increase, a mears calculator can be really useful when calculating cable sizes and voltage drop
get a qualified electrition you wouldn't want him to start fitting his own tyers now, would you?
What is the earth band for and what happens if you didn't fit it ? Thanks
@:Mosey: Ferocious would this make the consumer unit fuse trip ? Thanks for the reply.
Just like a lineman, all he needs is a hammer and tape,they do make tools to strip that insulation, and a wood ruler to make measurements, and knee pads,really great explanation, hope there is no apprentices watching he better be glad it's not pouring down rain and playing in the mud
Yeah a knife isn’t the best method for stripping sheath, too much room for error.
Lovely vid, just watch those poor knees!
Thanks for the comment!
Like 👍👍👍👌
Thanks!

Im a asistent cable jointer and have a experience of six years on 132kv, 220kv,400kv. i worked in qatar for six years. If you need asistent cable jointer then i would be much happy to work with you
Can you make a cup of tea
Give me your email address so that I contact you
My friend who is an electrician call it "Submarine".
I expected wires would be welded/soldered instead of clamping them
better to use stanley knife
Better to use a proper jointers knife.
You didn't need the earth braid, I've only ever known this to be done by using the armour as the earth and just pulling each strand away from the three phases, using the insulation tape to wrap around the armours to keep them together. Interesting to see a different way of doing it though.
You ALWAYS connect the armour to earth, that IS the earth for the cable.
@@davidedwards6352 The armour should be earthed throuout it's length. It's to earth any tool that mag go before toucing live. That's the whole principal. Must be earhted at the source with a proper gland, not disregarded.
My eyes are sore. Just score a line round the inner insulation and pull it off. Then you won’t damage the inner cores and don’t have to dodgy score the inner all the way along 🤦♂️
Would be better to use self amalgamating tape on the ends instead of insulation tape which will then not fall apart over the years.
By the time the tape on the ends falls apart, the resin will have long since hardened - the tape is only there to prevent it leaking out before it's set. After that, it (and, arguably, even the plastic shell) is more or less redundant - the set resin is what provides the protection then.
Handyman not electrician
Nah hes one of your electricican buddy's
Nope
You should have got a Stanley knife out and gone this isn't a knife and then that Bowie killer knife you where using.
