Cpc

MrJack96
Is it acceptable practice to crimp a cpc with through crimps to extend it?

    If the joint for the CPC is made accessible, I would use a suitably sized proprietary crimp for the core/cable; after all there should be little current flowing under normal useage, but when current does flow under a fault, the connection should be reliable.. A tug test and/or continuity test of the joint should also be made.
