Faulty Underground Cable

To joint a faulty underground cable, first identify the faulty cable and remove about 2 feet of the outer PVC sheath and steel armor to expose the internal cables. Cut the cables and insert a jointing sleeve, crimping it with a tool to join one side. Apply a heat shrinkable sleeve over the joint and repeat the process on the other end. Wrap the jointing area with HT tape and heat shrinkable sleeves to protect and insulate the connection. Connect the steel armor with braided tape and the job is complete.
