Cutter Plier
Can I use regular ruberized cutter to cut entrance cable?
I am going to cut the the entrance cable. Then replace it with a new 100amps cable thinkness, then reconnect it. The question is: can I cut that cable coming from the lamppost with regular rubberized cutter? When I reconnect, can I hold the lamppost cable with one ruberrized plier while I tighten the bolt with another? Then when I put the rubberized tape around the bolt can I just run it around as long as I do not touch anything? Please reply in details.
I’ve done this before with the cables disconnected. Now there will be current there. I want to cut the cable, strip both tips, put the bolt braket on and tighten it and wrap the rubber tape around it. My fear is that the cutter I have (insulated) is not insulated enough for the current or that the insulation on my plier is not thick enough to tighten the bold with current passing through it. So what should I do?
I do not recommend that anyone ever cut a live wire. I would absolutely de-engergize the circuit before cutting it. You cannot predict exactly what will provide a current path, where it will go, and what consequences it might have including adverse effects on you health.
Exactly what you are asking is not clear. Are you asking about a service entrance cable that supplies 240 service to your house? If so, how does it come from a light post? If you are saying it is a branch circuit to a lamp post, turning off the breaker should be easy. If you are indeed talking about your service entrance cable and it is 240volt, you will attain no advantage to cutting it while hot as to up the current capacity of the cable you must replace the whole thing starting from the disconnect, breaker, drop out or whatever safety device it is feed from.
