Hi,

I was talking to another sparks that I know, and the conversation swayed onto leaving the wires from the RCBO's and not just cutting them off.
The conversation was cut short though and the reasons were not made to me to leave them as is.

And seeing another thread in the 'Electricians Arms' reminded me of this conversation; so I was just wondering.

Should they be left alone or can they be cut off?

Should this only be discussed in the 'E.A'?

I have no opinon as yet to this, so would greatly accept any veiws.


Cheers Billy.
 
Lots of excellent info here!

Which crimpers would be best for me? I've seem some which are CK (bootlace ferrule) and then I've seem that are just ferrule crimpers which make a square/rectangular end, but these were £200+ which I'm not prepared to pay!
Would normal crimppers with pin/pointed crimps be ok?

Try something like these about £20, you dont need anything fancy Buy Tooling - Crimp Terminals TERMINAL CRIMPING TOOL CK 3645 online from RS for next day delivery.
these are just an example but only go up to 2.5mm ferrules, their are plenty of range and options out there if you look.
