Ferrule crimpers

[goasis]

I take it theres no particular standard for sizing and colours, with all these imports

 

[Mike Johnson]

There is, but its either French or German If I remember correctly, the colours correspond to the size nothing to do with harmonisation of phase neutral and earth/CPC.

Company I used to work for used French colours current one uses German so I downloaded this until I'm familiar with colour/ sizes

 

[Mike Johnson]

Trouble is I have hundreds of German crimps and all my work is in France now days. ?

What are meter seals?

About £2.00 for 10 on certain online auction sites.

or just get a ferrule. cut off the insulated sleeve, crimp ove a bit of the steel armour from some 1.5mm SWA.

What ever happened to European standardisation?!

 

[Mike Johnson]

It happened but only on appliances with wired in plugs where it made no difference at all. ?

France still use Red for live conductors, but only if they are not using Orange for switched live or Violet for strapping or the Black or Grey for Domestic three phase. ?

 

[masteryoda]

just got those from them.

I have those to use for cctv and mains wiring. Crimps are good, it works nicely.
