An electrician is preparing to connect a solid copper conductor to a standard screw terminal. Arrange the following steps in the correct operational sequence using the proper electrical hand tools.
- 1Strip the specified length of insulation from the conductor using the matching gauge notch on a wire stripper without nicking the copper.
- 2Bend the exposed solid copper into a semi-circular hook using the tip of needle-nose pliers.
- 3Place the formed wire hook around the terminal screw shank in a clockwise direction.
- 4Tighten the terminal screw securely against the conductor using a properly sized insulated screwdriver.
Cevap
1. Strip the conductor using a wire stripper. 2. Form a loop in the bare copper with needle-nose pliers. 3. Hook the wire clockwise around the screw post. 4. Tighten the terminal screw with a screwdriver.
The correct operational sequence begins by using wire strippers with the proper gauge notch to cleanly remove insulation without nicking the conductor. Needle-nose pliers are then used to bend the bare copper into a hook. The hook is placed clockwise around the screw post so that tightening rotation draws the wire inward. Finally, an appropriately sized screwdriver fastens the terminal screw securely.
