Answers to the EL130 Unit 4 Trade Terms questions, with the term that best describes each description:

1. Because of thermal expansion and cold flow of aluminum, standard copper connectors cannot be safely used on aluminum wire.

2. Crimp-type reducing connectors are used to connect two different sized wires.

3. For fire alarm cable to be effective the drain wire must be grounded.

4. A properly made termination should last as long as the insulation on the wire itself.

5. A good electrical connection should be mechanically and electrically secure.

6. Typically in instrumentation and control cable only one end is grounded and the shielding at the other end are isolated by folding them back and taping over them.

7. Insulation particles can get trapped in the crimp joint and form the basis of a defective splice.

8. Poor craftsmanship in stripping and terminations can cause exposed strands, which are a safety hazard.

9. Grooming the conductor ensures a proper fit in the crimp barrel.

10. Select the proper size terminal for the wire being terminated, to ensure that the ampere capacity of the lug equals that of the conductor.
