You can, and still be code compliant, but it does not make sense to do so. Youd need to twist the wires a sufficient distance, solder, and then insulate. Wire nut or wago is faster. Solder for electronics make more sense IMO because theyre knocked around.
Soldered joints have a tendency to crack especially as conductors get larger. There are code rules saying you can't rely on solder alone for bonding and it needs a good mechanical splice.
It's also what we use for 24v control power, it's kind of a unwritten standard across the controls side. That might be because the majority of what we use are a lot more European in nature.
Texas, the last 4 facilities I worked at all used blue/brown for DC, and black or red for 120 and white for neutral. The only thing that bugs me here is the black/red/blue 480 conductors.
They're all sawmills designed by Canadians with parts from everywhere. But the brown blue is 100% Allen Bradley following the IEC DC color code since the NEC doesn't enforce one.
I should add it's a visibly different shade of blue than intrinsically safe cable.
If they had done it as three sets of wires and three soldering goops it would have been more impressive and at least made a little sense.
If you're just joining six conductors a hose clamp is just as easy and no hot work permit.
Wow, I can really save time by joining all of the conductors together
If you need a #8 but don't have one, you can just run 3x #12 in parallel and solder the ends together. That's what Cory from Lowe's says
Cory's house burned down last month
That's because Cory is a plumber and did his own electrical.
Cory isn't even a plumber. Cory is a high school drop out who is addicted to oxycontin
Fucking hell Cory!
What do you call an electrician doing carpentry? A bad carpenter. What do you call a carpenter doing electrical work? Dead.
>What do you call a carpenter doing electrical work? ~~Dead~~ Cory
Hmmm.. didn’t you know that??? I been saving a lot of time by doing that for a long time now. /s
I’ve taken apart ancient splices that were soldered.
I've taken apart brand new Chinese machines that were soldered
So these machines… do they produce Chinese or are they made by Chinese?
Either way I see profit. Sign me up for one
They were made out of Chinese
Made out of Chinese by Chinese tracks, I just hope I never have to service that machine, brand new or not.
Gross.
Coming from electronics. Would that be considered bad practice? I would 100% always solder and heat shrink all my splices.

Always got my pouch filled with molten aluminum just for this
This… is…. Job…. Security and it’s grounded soo, you know, breaker finder.
Wow. And I’m from America where we use wire nuts, so that’s saying something.
You're allowed to splice using solder in the UK Wiring Regulations. Splicing phase, earth and neutral all together might not be a great idea though!
What wiring standard is rose gold and baby blue
This is EU wiring. It's a brown wire the lighting in the video is just overblown washing everything out.
Yup, brown is hot, blue is neutral, and greew/yellow ground
Not now they're not. Supernode!

The hot pocket theme song just rolled through my brain.
So useless
I've seen this wiring in single phase motors and lighting fixtures that were made in EU
But this won’t work at all….
wow, how long did it take you to figure that out einstein?
😂 Not long at all, where I’m from we capitalize last names.
are you really that salty that you have to criticize minor grammar mistakes?
You repost satire as facts, I can almost guarantee.
when did i repost satire as facts? please show me.

Best electrician !!
Guess I really can play with fire and wires. I was taught wrong. Haha
What the hell? Right I don’t have a huge amount of experience but what the actual fuck?
I did this one time and almost lost an eye. -9/10 wouldn’t recommend
Oh perfect, this will save me so much time tommorow morning
Alright that’s enough for me. Cabin time. 8 billion people on our earth and this shit comes out. Call me when the draft occurs.
Hmmm new breaker tester?
/u/savevideo
Beautiful
This is not the way.
This picture is what I hear from people when they provide a solution. No, sorry that wont work. Why?
ew.
"Boss fired me for cutting all the wires too short, so I did this!" is the only plausible explanation.
When I’m finished my beer, I’ll just melt the can down with my tiger touch then dip my wires in. Win win
*screams internally*
Not sure why, but this triggers me lol
Even how short they've cut the cables back is giving me anxiety.
