How to insulate wires at home

somehow insulate wire - 1 In life, we often encounter wiring.It could be electric in the room, and the power cord from the TV.Nothing in this world lasts forever, and any wire may be damaged.Damages are mechanical, thermal, yes what you want.But the result is always the same - damage to the outer insulation layer.And the question arises - how to insulate the damaged area leads.And no less important - as a right and then another, and the more isolated?Quite often it happens splicing two wires, which means that a compound also needs to place the insulation.

place wiring

First , you need to properly connect the wires - it is done in a twist.If stranded wire, even if one of them, it is best to unleash the individual wires and twist "in parts", so twist is more reliable.The resulting compound to secure, if possible, should be solder.After that twist should be cut in length, leaving the end of about 0.5 cm. This tip to bend close to the wire.

Vo Secondly, it is possible as the first layer of insulation to use heat shrinkable tubing and can be normal PVC.In the first case, the phone still pull on the hot seat adhesions.It should be borne in mind that such insulation after cooling it will be impossible to remove.In the second case, you must wait until the spike has cooled, and then twist to impose a piece of PVC pipe.

tube length must be chosen slightly larger than the length of lay.During operation, the wire is heated, and the outer insulation in the region of twisting slightly reduced in length, so the insulation should be done with a "margin".For reliability can be wound on top layer of tape.If no tube, the masking tape can be sent in two layers.

us isolate the damaged area wires

  1. If we have found damage in the wiring, you can eat the damaged wire and then make a reliable twist;
  2. If in the end of the line, then the presence of the handset cord is disconnected, the tube is pushed;
  3. Insulation tape made.Better - in two layers, with a "margin".

Take into account that if the wiring is on the street or in a low temperature, it is best to use a tape with fabric backing.Tape PVC low temperature cracking.
