EL-021 / CABLE CONDUCTOR JOINT
PRIORITY / MAJOR
OBSERVED
Cable conductors are joined outside a junction box, and the joint has no insulation.
RISK
Possible accidental contact with live parts after energisation, short circuit and damage to the line; the joint also lacks the intended mechanical protection.
WHAT TO CHECK
The cable circuit’s purpose and identification, the design solution, conductor joining method, insulation condition and intended location of the joint.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Install a junction box, insulate the cable conductor joint and then close the junction box.
