Answer:
When two electric wires are joined together, the joint formed is normally called a splice. A good splice should not only be mechanically secure, it inust also form an electrical connection which is just as efficient a conductor as the wire itself.Depending on the techniques used in twisting or tying the wires together, there are three tes of splices commonly used in household wiring and repair jobs: the pigtail splice the Western Union splice, and the tap splice (also called a branch splice).
