Do you know about Cable Joints?
I want to terminate a 25mm cable in a distribution board. The board wont take termination bigger than 10mm. I intend to use cable compression connectors to reduce cable size to 10mm or a scotch-cast. Can you advice the implication of this i.e voltage between the feed and point of connection to the joint.
I feel this will be irrelevant because i intend to run the 100mm for 3-5m then join it to the 25mm cable before the cable starts its long run.
Kindly advice please.
You question is a little confusing. If your board will not take the 25mm cable then it will not likely take the current that the cable is rated for. On the other side of things, by reducing your cable size at any point will reduce its current carrying capacity.
I have experienced times where the cable size has been increased because of volt drop and so doesn’t actually require its full current carrying capacity. In this case, it may be OK to reduce it at some point providing the source protection will not allow the current to exceed the “reduced” point. The problem is that I don’t know of any recognised connectors to do this so your best bet would be to get a board that will take your cable and avoid any risk.
