Student training aid for how to strip and terminating the ends of PVC/PVC Twin and CPC cables (twin and earth cables). Includes a full demonstration on how to remove the outside mechanical protection (PVC) and the conductor insulation (thermoplastic PVC) before doubling the ends over. This is the method we will be using whilst we are training in the workshop to become an electrician. We are trying to increase the dexterity of our learners therefore we avoid using wire strippers and we go old school.

What's the purpose of doubling over the conductors? My college hasn't been telling me to do this, is there a regulation that stipulated this or is it just good practice?
This is hilarious because at 1:24 the text reads: "and psychos" when it should read side cutters. Thank you for giving us all a good laugh. More please.
Knipex do some very nice combination pliers, too. Did someone steal yours, or is the flaky college pair just a Christmas hint that something is on your letter to Santa?
7 mins….I like your vids man but still waiting for the part: how to insulate them (from each other and terminate them securely?
Hello,
Very good video. In my house there is an electrical extension from the mains in the house out to the shed which provides it with electricity. The wiring inside the cabling only contains the live and neutral wire (it isn't Earthed). Could I use this method to disconnect the electricity supply to the shed?
Superb. Many thanks.
That’s a great technique.
Didn’t finish the job before the video ended ?
What is the meaning of cpc cables
Another great vid. Is there anything specific about that Electrician's Knife that makes it not damage the copper easily? Or is this generally the case with knives, like a Stanley?
Great video! When you place the doubled over conductors in the terminals of a 13A socket-outlet, do you place them in flat one of top of the other or do you place them in side by side? Also do you use both earth terminals on a socket-outlet or just place both CPCs in 1 terminal (assuming this is not a computer circuit)?
Great training videos
Interesting pulling it with your hands. I did a lot of work with my dad before college who has been a spark for 30 years and he taught me to snip the middle of the top of the t&e like you did but then grab the earth with my snips and pull down.
Best tutor I had at college 👍🏻👍🏻 hope your well gaz !!
I understand this is an old school way of stripping PVC cable but these hand skills are very valuable to a generation of gamers. Often the learners that come to my college having had little experience of using hand tools either at school or home. Hence we are working on basic skills like naming the tools and the dexterity needed to work in the construction industry. Thanks Gaz
What are the modern tools that are used? And will you be showing that technique at college too?
When I was at college in the early 90s, we were taught to split the outer sheath with edge of pliers, then pull the cpc through the middle to the scored point. Achieves the same result I guess, the main point is, Do not expose the conductors by scoring to deep. See that a lot in the field. Not pretty and quite dangerous. Same with flexible cables. On another note, that has always baffled me.. Why is there no minimum bending radius for the termination bend on the end of the conductor? I have seen some bends almost break in half. I always try not to crush the bend too hard to maintain structural integrity in the copper.. Maybe I'm being over enthusiastic 🤔
Love this Gaz. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great video showing textbook cable termination with the standard basic tools, great help to people starting out their journey as trainee electricians 👍🏻
Nice video
Great upload, Very informative as always. Top Guy!
Great advise as usual Gaz👍
Master the basics and all should be ok. Well, should be, coz it's amazing to see on site actual electricians not doing it.
Wow thanks for all your lovely free content 👍 it must take along time to make these videos it is appreciated
