HOW TO MAKE A PROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

26th December 2015

The most traditional form that we all know is to peel the wires and tied them together so that they are completely tight without any loose or broken strand. They are then covered with insulating tape.

But now we can put into practice another way on how to perform an electrical connection much more professional and a more clean and with an aesthetic result. The tools that you will need are a flat-head screwdriver, a wire stripper or scissors of an Central London electrician and a screw or a plastic connector (a piece of plastic that is adjusted with the screw and is used as an electrical connector between the two wires).

Making an electrical connection

The steps are as follows:

  1. Cut with the scissors the sleeve outer cable without breaking any filament.
  2. Hold the cable with the scissors, gently press and rotate at the same time to remove the cover without problems.
  3. Loosen the screws of the electric connector with the flat-head screwdriver and insert the first cable strands.
  4. Adjusts again the screws so that the cable is firmly tight, although it can’t not be tightened too hard in order to avoid damaging the cable strands.
  5. Performs the same process with the other wire.

After learning how to make an electrical connection, you will only need some tricks and patience. With these steps, the problem will be solved over a long period of time.
