Outstanding technique Barry! Great step by step instruction and explanation of exactly what is being done and why. This is a first class instructional video. Thanks a million!
When I was a splicer all those years ago, I did the same more times than I can count, however I didn’t have all those fancy tools. We used knives to strip and pencil the cable. Not rubber, but poly and XLP. Sanding the cable we always taped the conductor so metal, aluminum or cu onto the insulation. Nice job!
Im relatively new to cable splicing. Going for my NCSCB cert next month. Have a quick question about what do you would use to build up voids between compression lug and insulation when hand taping to prevent corona from developing?
Speed system. We tried some Ripley but cost was way higher. Our urd folks use the Ripley designed for 1/0 xlp. 3 phase urd we work from 1/0 15kv up to 1250mcm 35kv. Speed systems was more cost effective. I'm comfortable with them. I am a trainer now so I am lucky to get to try new tools before they're purchased.
Good video. I have been splicing for 29 years. We would sue a split connector for a soldered connection. It looks like aluminum cable. Would you use a pressed connection instead???

He works like a surgeon - careful, precise, clean. Nicely done.
That ratcheting pencilling tool...love it. We use the older style that you hand twist. Really clean work, tho!
Great man
Try doing that on a building site or the middle of a field in the middle of winter, mud water and frozen fingers!!
Been there and done all of that. Teaching apprentice school now and gives apprentices something to follow along to.

Is that a silver colored sharpie?
why so complicate.... simply use WAGO
I haven't heard of WAGO. I will look into it. This is a technique we went to when the took hookbill knives away.
@@barrygrounds4336 it was a joke! WAGO is a small "quickconnector"
What’s the ratcheting tool you are using to cone down to the semiconductor?
It is a Ripley ratcheting tool with different size inserts to pencil the cable. Works really good as long as the blade is sharp.
Which company tools you use please tell

Hello, Pls support to get the tool details
Is this a joke, try doing oil splicing!
