Joints to the flexible cables with insulation tapes is the area where we are looking for
alternatives as these joints were proved unsafe and resulted in incidents.
LET US SAY NO TO THE CABLE JOINTS WITH INSULATION TAPE AND APPLY SAFE ALTERNATIVES.
Solution 1 : Using cable couplers which we are
practicing in most of our projects. This is very useful for detaching /extending the cable joints. One of the disadvantage of this is this is not water proof.
Solution no. 2 : Using heat shrinkable
sleeves. This cost effective and easy to apply on joints. To some extent it resists the water entry into the joint. We need to insert on to the cable joint and apply hot air blow with the blower meant for this purpose. This sleeve shrinks over the joint and provides total insulation.
