CHAPTER 2 WIRING METHODS PRACTICE
OBJECTIVES:
1. Students can use the multifunctional pliers correctly.
2. Students can connect the single-core conductor correctly.
3. Students can connect the seven-core conductor correctly.
4. Students can use the connection terminals correctly.
SET-UP OF APPARATUS:
PROCEDURES:
1.Knowing the Multifunctional Pliers
(1) Trimming pliers: Used to cut the wire.

(2) Stripping pliers: Stripping the external insulating
rubber of the wire; the gap design makes it less likely to
damage the wire but the force must still be controlled. It
is applicable for 0.75mm2 or above.
(3) Diagonal pliers: Used to cut thinner or softer cables
such as cotton rope, nylon ropes, or certain copper wires
inside stranded conductors etc.
(4) Crimping pliers: Used with different crimping terminal
sizes; pay attention to the type of crimping terminal.
2.Conductor Terminals Introduction
(1) Screw On Connector: First, strip the outer layer at the

end of the cable, and then insert it into the connector.
Rotate it clockwise when in use.
(2) Close-end Wire Connector: Close-end wire connectors are

used for wire contacts inside motor and electrical products.
First strip the outer layer at the end of the cable, and
then insert it into the connector when used; simply press it
with clipping tools.
(3) O Type and Y Type Crimp Terminals

a) O type crimp terminal is applicable for the main circuit,
and Y type is applicable for the control circuit.
b) Each contact can only use two crimp terminals for
maximum.
c) Crimp terminals can be divided into 2 types, opened and
closed according to its shape (which is Y type and O
type). Suitable caliber should be selected according to
the actual conductor size.
d) The bending angle of the crimp terminal should be within
60°.
e) The selection of crimp terminal should be determined
according to the cross-sectional area of the conductor
and the diameter of the screws used to fix the equipment
contact. The aperture of the terminal that the conductor
crimps on should be specified according to the area of
the conductor, and the aperture of the contact fixing
terminal should be specified according to the diameter of
the screws.
f) Y type crimp terminals are used for wiring locations that
needs to be changed frequently, and the O type is used
for permanent circuits.
The bending of the crimp terminal should be within 60 degrees
and the recess of the crimp terminal should face upwards.
When two crimp terminals are fixed at one terminal, they

should be fixed in at a flat place back to back.
3.Conductor Connection
PVC conductors that are frequently used in home appliances
are divided into single-core wires: marked with diameter,
unit: mm. And stranded wires: measured with cross-section
area, unit: mm2 . In electric appliances, whether or not it’s
in the production line or repairs, avoid connection while
working on it. If connection is required, pay attention to the
following principles:
(1) The resistance cannot be more than originally it
was.
(2) Mechanical strength cannot be reduced.
(3) Insulating effects cannot be reduced.
Conductor connection forms can be divided into:
(1) Straight connection: When the length of the
conductor is not long enough and another conductor
needs to be connected for extension, straight
connection is required.
(2) Bridging connection: Bridging connection is to
split a circuit from the original circuit.
(3) Terminal connection: Terminal connection refers to
the connection where the conductor has no tension.
4.Wiring Terminals
Common wiring terminals are as listed below, and they are
selected according to the usage location. Fixed terminal
blocks are usually used in average electric boxes, and
combination terminal blocks are usually used at locations
where it needs to be changed frequently or that the usage
length is longer.
The following items must be noted when wiring terminal

blocks:
(1) Lead or entry wires on the same row should have a
unified turning distance; in principle, the wiring
harness is usually 20-30mm away from the terminal
block.
(2) The conductor must not cross the appliance
directly and an appropriate arc angle should be made
at turning points manually; do not bend the wires
with the pliers in order to prevent the wires from
breaking inside the conductor.
(3) A maximum of two conductors can be connected to
each wiring terminal; in principle, if two wires are
connected to the same terminal, they should be
placed at each side so that each end of the terminal
has one wire connected to it. If only one wire is
connected, then the conductor should be in a
clockwise direction to make it easier to tighten the
screws.
(4) In principle, the wiring path should be run
horizontally or vertically.
(5) Crimp terminals should be parallel with two crimp
terminals share one contact in order to prevent
short circuiting.
(6) In principle, the stripping length of the
conductor should be so that not only the conductor
can be fully inserted into the terminal block, 1-3mm
of the conductor must also be reserved.
(7) When using cable ties, it is best for the distance
between the cable ties to be between 200~300mm.
(8) Terminal screws must be locked tight in order to
prevent poor connection or easily falling off.
(9) Beware not to cut the core when stripping the
wire, and keep a certain radian when bending in
order to prevent the wires inside the conductor from
breaking.
The screws of the terminal block wears down easily because

they are removed and assembled frequently; so they need to
be replaced in order to prevent the conductors from having
poor fixture and becoming loose. When replacing, insert a
flathead screwdriver into the latch and twist it outwards to
remove it.
OUTPUT:
DISCUSSION: {from obtained results}
The result of the experiment, following the Single-Core Wire
Connection, Stranded Wire Connection, and Single-Core Wire
Bridging demonstrate a successful acquisition of essential skills
in electrical work, specifically within the realm of
refrigeration training. The Single-Core Wire Connection
Procedure, with its straightforward sequence of stripping,
intertwisting, winding, and completion, yielded effective and
secure connections, providing us with a foundational
understanding of basic wire joining techniques. The Stranded Wire
Connection Procedure, incorporating steps like expanding wires
into an umbrella shape and cutting and collapsing the center
wire, produced connections that address the complexities
associated with stranded wires. Additionally, the folding and
rolling steps enhance organization and security. The Single-Core
Wire Bridging scenario tested our ability to apply our knowledge
in a dynamic context, and successful completion of this task
demonstrate our capability to adapt the learned techniques to
practical scenarios.
CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, the hands-on activities we did in the lab
about connecting wires and making bridges turned out to be really
helpful. The step-by-step instructions made it easy for us to
learn important skills in electrical work. We practiced
connecting single wires, and it showed that we got good at the
basic techniques. We also dealt with more complicated stuff like
connecting stranded wires, which helped us understand how to
handle tricky situations. The same way goes for single-wire
bridging. Overall, this lab helped us learn a bunch of important
skills we need for dealing with different wiring challenges in
both electrical and refrigeration work.
RECOMMENDATION:
To enhance and achieve better results in the single-wire
connection, stranded wire connection, and single-wire bridging
laboratory activity, It is recommended to incorporate more hands-
on practice and real-world applications. Increasing the frequency
of practical exercises allows students to reinforce their skills
and gain confidence in tackling various wiring challenges. Also,
incorporating troubleshooting sessions where students can
identify and rectify common issues would further deepen their
understanding of the subject matter. To foster collaboration and
critical thinking, group projects focusing on complex wiring
tasks could be introduced. Regular feedback sessions and
discussions on real-world case studies would also contribute to a
more interactive and enriching learning environment. Lastly, it
is very important to use the right wire gauge for an easier
twisting and cutting.
