Test I. Write the letter of the correct answer.

In a sheet of
paper, answer the following:
1. The _______ is one of the most common splice used to
connect two or more wires by wrapping them
symmetrically.
a. Western Union Splice Plain Tap Joint
b. Rat Tail Splice
c. Plain Tap Splice
d. Terminating Fixture
2. Why do we need to know the Rat Tail splice in electrical
work? Because
a. It is easy and quick to perform in actual wiring
installation.
b. It is applicable for outside wiring.
c. It is costly.
d. All of the above
3. Since Rat Tail splice is not strong mechanically, it is not
meant for wires that will be pulled out or stressed but
rather it is intended inside an enclosure.
a. True
c. Neither
b. False
d. None of the above
4. This is where Rat Tail splice usually happens.
a. inside of an enclosure
b. under heavy tensile stress
c. outside wiring installation
d. both b & c
5. What is the proper sequence in making a Rat Tail splice?
a. Skin the wires Place in crossed position Twist the
conductors Cut the excess wire
b. Cut the excess wires Place in crossed position
Twist the conductors Skin the wire
c. Place in crossed position- Skin the wires Twist the
conductors Cut the excess wire
d. Skin the wires- Twist the conductors- Placed in
crossed position- Cut the excess wire
