    I find the 2273 series are great for joining neutrals and CPCs behind switches (where the lighting circuit is fed to switch rather than using a drop cable) - they're so much smaller than anything else, and the ability to have four conductors connected in a flat connector (as opposed to the 2x2 grid of a 773 series) is great if space is tight

    Nice to see a chart of the wagos and an explanation of the sizes for conductors, i wasn't aware of the sizing having only used a small selection.
    I have found when doing electrical testing after fitting the 221 lever connections if you have a connector with a spare terminal the mft tester probes go in nicely and the lever locks it in place to stop the test lead dropping out making it easier whilst testing.

      The 221 connectors have 2 test probe sockets built in , to the front and back of the lever with text on, though it does require a fine probe. If there is a spare way certainly easier to use that.

    10:25 except for all the water going down the earth sleeving. I know its not a huge issue there, but using the sleeving seems to hurt in this application. I wonder if it would be better to cut the sleeving short to reaming outside the gel area. That would help prevent corrosion on the copper wire. Otherwise great video.

    You do not want moisture getting between the conductors and outer insulation sheath. I assume the outer sheath insulation should be right up to the waterproof connector. It looks like the gel would seal the end of the outer sheath.

    I had considered the ferrule trick previously, though as the ferrule material is harder than copper I was concerned the Wago might not bite hard enough to make a good connection. Have Wago given their blessing to this, and is it limited to any manufacturer of ferrule?

    • @efixx
      @efixx  3 роки тому +2

      We did consult Wago before launching this hack. You are limited on conductor sizes at top and bottom end of size ranges. Too big plastic on ferrule doesn’t fit. Too small can’t get enough insertion force.

      Sleeve may allow water and result in failure of connection over time, but as it is the cpc it will probably not be as critical as it should be at it would help ensure a rcd trip if water leaks to the live or neutral

      I have asked ToolStation to email me the data sheet to check it conforms and still waiting. Very interesting as they say they are unbranded. The last refresher course covering pat testing we must not say fake but not compliant to UK regulations. The biggest thing I see with the ToolStation connectors is separation which is less than good old screw terminals for use on LV, these may comply with ELV????

    Catch up with what? We had eight of those stupid wago splices melt at a 1200 room hotel. Remember we have double the current at 120v. They may be ok for end of line lighting with a .05 amp load but not a air or reefer circuit.

    Graham, please play your vid back and then check the regs, a couple of comments that may mislead the sheep of the electrical world. First selv is not safety low voltage, and you stated first after terminating into the gel pack that's all you need to do, you just introduced a code 2 fault in your termination, it cannot be left like that. For anyone who disagrees please read the regs and guidence notes on how to do it. Don't be a sheep. Graham you did correct yourself after placing wago into the bucket, but people respond more by visual than vocal direction.

      You’ll have to explain further so I get the gist - we gave two examples a SELV system supplying 24VDC LED tape and a mains voltage system LV supplying something like a bollard. The second would have to be inside a suitable enclosure.
