Note: Using splices to repair broken or damaged conductors are not permitted for Classes 2 and 3 without end-user concurrence prior to the repair.
Acceptable - Class 1,2,3
• Interlocking of conductive strands into a smooth joined section for a minimum of three but not more than five wire diameters.
• Insulation covers splice and overlaps wire insulation a minimum of one wire diameter.
• No conductive strands piercing the insulation
Process Indicator - Class 2,3
• Wire bulges the insulation but does not pierce it.
Defect - Class 1,2,3
• There are sharp points or projections.
• Conductive strands pierce the insulation.
• Wire splice area is exposed.
• Insulation does not overlap wire splice area for a minimum of one wire diameter.
