  • For a nice twisted joint between two cables or flexible cords, cut the neutral longer on one cable, and the phase longer on the other. The two twisted joints will then be at different distances along the cable, and therefore cant touch each other.

    If the cables to be thus jointed might be subjected to physical strain, then knot them first before jointing as above. Adding insulating tape is a waste of money, prevents proper inspection, and is a fire risk.
