wow, everything is so nice and clean. youd have a stroke if you saw how i have to install lugs under trains. the shop only has one crimper and the fucking dayshift guys never put it away. so often ill be down there using a sledgehammer to crush the lug onto burnt wires, with several inches of exposed conductor. they will commonly short to eachother and cause break downs. but seemingly im the only one who isnt stripping them excessively long, is carrying a stripper with you everytime really that difficult, that they will only over strip it so they can reuse it without stripping again when it fails?
That sounds like quite a challenging environment! Let me know if I can help in any way, and please ensure everyone stays safe-you’ve got enough on your plate already!
Thank you for pointing that out! Crimped connections can fail if they're not done according to the proper standards, as this can compromise their reliability.

So why do crimped connections fail? You literally didn't answer your own question lol.

Basically: not enough surface contact on the components, causing the pixies to arc and heat up the air instead of carry the energy through the cable.
@robertthallium6883 it was a rhetorical question. I'm an electrician.
I don't know much, but in 16 years in the trade I've never seen one fail without being damaged by someone or some kind of accident.
That’s a great point! Properly installed connections rarely fail unless there's external damage or an accident.
太棒啦🎉🎉❤
As an electrical engineer, I have never seen a failure caused by hydraulic crimping.
That’s great to hear! To ensure consistent reliability, always use the manufacturer-specified crimping tools and dies for hydraulic crimping
