Crimping of flexible cord conductors

PG over 3 years ago

Like most of us, I often crimp flne strand conductors, especially for screw terminals but do not do this for domestic lamp holders and roses etc.

I thought that I would check Section 526 (Electrical Connections) of the Regs but did't find a clear statement of requirements for crimped ends.

I was particularly unsure of what 526.9.1 was specifying for fine wire conductors "conductor ends shall be suitably treated".

Any guidance or comment would be appreciated.

dressing neutrals in RCBO boards. Shorten the existing tail

When I've posted previously and questioned the use by some manufacturers of either 2 mm2 or 2,5 mm2 neutral tails on a 32 or 40 A RCBO in a board containing 70 deg C equipment and outgoing circuits, the topic bombed............
