 Minimizing Motor Connection Problems
Motor connections can overheat and eventually destroy a motor. The
failure cause could be traced back to a poor connection between the
flexible motor leads and the building wires. How is this possible?
A typical three-phase motor is designed to perform with balanced
voltages. If one connection has a high resistance, then the other two
phases set up destructive currents in the motor.

 Reduce Your Splicing Costs
If you are planning to splice cables, modern insulated connectors can
save costs. The more traditional splicing methods use split bolts and
tape. Using the insulated connector method has several advantages,
including lower total cost.
According to NSi Industries, the R. S. Means Construction Data can show a
significant cost savings. This third party source of estimating labor
and material is used by the manufacturer to show savings per phase in a
250 MCM cable splice.

 Fast-splicing Submersible Connectors
Fast-splicing submersible connectors made of flexible plastisol provide
a quick, easy way to connect two or more submersible conductors.
The installation of the conductors into the connector, made from
flexible plastisol is straight-forward and fast. An electrician strips
back the insulation from the cable with a knife and inserts the
stripped conductor into the interior of the entry port sleeve of the
connector.
