The concrete box may be placed over the splices after the splices have been made.

The splices should be accessible as well which could be accomplished by installing a concrete box, such as a Christy Box with a concrete lid or a traffic rated lid if this is in a traffic area.

The direct burial splices must be made properly using a corrosion inhibitor and then well insulated.

Protection for Buried Electrical Cable Splices Special Materials: Depending on the final enclosure to protect the splices, Moisture proof or Water Resistant Materials including Properly sized wire connectors, anti-corrosion ointment, electrical tape, shrink tubing or other materials to perform an approved splice method. Precaution: Identify the affected power source, turn it OFF and then Tag it with a Note before performing any wire splicing or cable repairs. Tools Required: Basic Electricians Pouch Hand Tools and Voltage Tester Ground or Trenching Hand Tools.Įstimated Time: Depends on the personal level experience and ability to work with tools, condition of the soil or environment for access to the cable or electrical wiring. Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced – Best performed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor. Splice Direct Buried Electric CablesĪpplication: Splicing Underground or Direct Buried Electrical Cables. Thanks for your Electrical Repair question Ray. This home electrical repairs question came from: Ray, from Milton, Florida.

My question is how can this be made safe? Is there some way to cover the bare spliced wires and lugs to prevent any kind of short since they are all three buried close to each other?.

When uncovering them next to the house I found that all three cables have been spliced in the same location.

The problem is that the #2 wires are direct buried cables.

I have a 200 Amp panel with a 100 Amp breaker which has three #2 gauge wires running to a secondary electric service box.

I am working with a electrical service panel that feeds another service panel.

Durable and water resistant design allows for direct ground burial, or placement under speaker.Electrical Question: Is there a way to cover spliced wires and lugs to prevent damage?.
