      @@yoonpark8311 wire nuts can be purchased in any hardware store. The packages on nuts always have a list of wire size and how many of those wires each wire not can safely handle. Always remember: heat is a factor for safety. Wires heat up based on how much that circuit is being used for. Example: 10 table lamps on 1 circuit at 13 watts (LED) is 130 watts. A 15 amp circuit breaker is 1800 watts. Very safe. 1 floor standing heater is 1500 watts at full use. That should help.

      I was attending an NFPA Electrical seminar and the instructor started by showing a small building that caught fire and burned down, his complaint was that the fire department could not determine the origin of the fire as the building was not wired. This type of connections are not made by knowledgeable Electricians and most likely would contribute to the fire of the building that was not wired.

    Being an electrician myself I would never use these methods. For one they break code. There is bending radiuses for wire and these knots exceed those radiuses. Only exception would be curling the wire to install it under a terminal such as a receptacle. Only approved methods can be used by electricians or we become liable. Two, the knots void the UL listing, so if an electrical fire is caused by this and the insurance company discovers this method you can say good bye for insurance covering any damages.

    I usually use an insulated crimp connector for the ends of the two wires. Crimping is important because it (a) ensures that both wires are good and tight, and (2) increases the area of contact so as to reduce heat generated. Twisting wires are not a good idea if the current is high, especially in household power devices.

    These connections would probably be OK for some low-voltage applications (hobby electronics, etc), but *THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR HOUSEHOLD AC WIRES.* The reason "electricians don't want you to know this" is because *it could actually burn your house down* if you do it. The shown connections do not comply with electrical codes the US, or likely in most other countries, and for good reason. There is no way to guarantee that they are making enough contact to carry the sorts of current that is often required, and if the connection is not good enough they can get hot enough to actually cause fires, or possibly even produce arcing, etc. Even if the connection starts out OK, it can also wiggle looser over time (the shrink tubing alone is not enough to guarantee it will stay tight), causing dangerous conditions to develop later.
    There are actually already many much better (and approved) methods for connecting wires without soldering them, such as wire nuts, Wago connectors, crimp-on connectors, etc. Please use those instead. This is just not the right way to do this.

Typically, either 24V or 48V is considered the upper end of "low voltage" electronics in most circles (maybe not counting power grid engineers), and is the more common definition that alan clearly intended (and was intended in my original comment as well). (Even according to other standards, such as the US NEC, "low distribution system voltage" is defined as 0-49V, etc.)
      And to be clear, I really *was not recommending this for lower voltage use either,* I was just saying that it probably wouldn't create an actually _dangerous_ condition if used in most hobbyist sorts of applications, but that still doesn't mean it's a good way to do things, or that it couldn't cause other sorts of problems in those cases too. (There are also potentially a few low-voltage but high-current applications where this could actually be dangerous as well, so it really depends on the application, and I agree that it should probably just be avoided in general anyway.)

    Electricians very, very rarely solder wires. There are many safe, sound and UL approved systems designed to do everything you covered here. Soldering is generally used where space is very restricted and the heat used wouldn't cause other problems such as melting insulation. This is usually the case in electronic equipment.
    One more thing: The stresses you are creating with these knots can actually _weaken_ the conductors.
    Leave electricity to the trained and qualified.

    Hi, I had 31 years of experience in electrical engineering. Electrical connections in most cases do not require soldering. The wire amp should be higher than the consumer amp. The solder fills the gaps between the wires and the wire is connected properly. In a soldered joint, the wire may heat up, but the wire will not heat up from the soldered joint and electricity will pass completely. In addition, the solder is a waterproof insulation and prevents blackening and sulfation of the wire.

    Being an Electronic Engineer let me explain why this is a bad idea and what soldering (and crimping) is for.
    Solder decreases the resistivity that is introduced by joining two pieces of wire together. So why does it matter about increased resistivity?
    Aside from meaning that increased resistivity will cost you money from the lost energy far in excess of the money saved by not using solder, it introduces a hidden weakness in the wiring that the knots won't overcome which over time will get progressively worse.
    That area will act as a fuse as sparking and burning reduces the thickness of the actual connecting points of the joint to a point that's less than the rating of the fuse in the fuse box which would usually protect your wiring.
    So even if it doesn't spark a fire which with the increased resistivity at that point equals increased heating which equals even more increased resistivity, over time there will be charring in the area further reducing the total connectivity at the point which in turn increases the resistivity, which means even more heat and so on.
    Soldering the connection introduces a far larger surface area of connection, thus avoiding this potential problem. Crimping is similar in that the copper strand(s) are crushed creating a far larger surface of contact thus reducing the resistivity introduced due to a join.
    It's not a pointless standard but there for a reason.

    Splicing wires isn't a conspiracy, and that is some of the worst slicing I'm ever seen. Ropes and electrical wires are different beasts. An electrical splice is more about keeping the electrical resistance low rather than the physical strength. Sure, wires will conduct just by touching, but there's more you need to do to make it safe. A poor connection will heat up potentially causing a fire, so a solid connection is important. Soldering slices or just using proper connectors is highly recommended especially with high loads. It's good practice with all loads.

      It’s not uncommon to “bus wire” power and ground for some low voltage application circuits. A common example would be string lighting.

    This would only be ok in an emergency as a Short Term solution until you can make a proper connection. I almost lost an old Landrover due to someone doing this to the wiring. The arcing and high resistance caused the insulation to melt off which then caused a short that caught the dash on fire.

    In Australia a Certified Electrician has to either install or check any wiring and then sign off on the work, this way if a fire happens the Insurance Company can see that it wasn't a Home handy man job and so will have a Licensed Electrician to talk to about the wiring.
    If a Home Handy man does any Electrical work and it causes a fire, the Insurance Company won't pay out for the damages.
    It's not worth the savings of a few hundred dollars depending on the job.

    DO NOT DO THIS.
    You're not only breaking the code stipulations, you're also putting yourself at risk, and making your insurance void.
    Never do this. Ask a professional if you're in doubt.

      @@im2yys4u81 I love WAGO lever connectors for lighting fixtures and ballasts. They work great for joining the fixture’s stranded wire to the house’s solid wire. Wire nuts work well for stranded to solid, too, but can be a bit tricky, where WAGO lever connectors are much more foolproof. For solid to solid, I always use wirenuts, unless there is a reason not to.
      Some electricians dislike WAGOs since they are a bus connection rather than actually joining the wires together. However, I’ve seen tests where the WAGO is carrying a 60 amp load without issue, where I’d expect the breaker to pop.
      Also, WAGOs have all kinds of cert testing like UL, CE, US ships, EU ships, Japan, Israel, etc.
      Sometimes the Krauts have a pretty good idea.

I've seen people test them at 100 amps load even, 20 times their rating. Yes the plastic and the levers melted off, but the spring was still supplying pressure to the joint, which is what makes this a maintenance free connection device which is required by code in the UK and Germany. Wire nuts not allowed.

    According to rule 110.14, it is not against NEC code to have soldered electrical splices as long as it conforms to their rules. This can vary depending on local jurisdictions, but if it is considered old work, in most cases it would grandfathered in unless deemed to be a fire hazard
