Yes, #2 wire can be spliced in a couple of ways. There is a device on the marked called an Insulink. The two ends of the wires are stripped about an inch in length and inserted into each end of the link. There is a special crimping tool that is used to crimp the wires into the link. You can find these types of splices in home distributions where the utility company connects to the wires that protrude from the weather head. Another type of splice for this size of wire is using #2 wire lugs on each end of the wire and then bolting the two lugs together back to back. This type of splice is used in motor connections. The splice is then half lap double wrapped with rubber amalgamation tape and then half lap double wrapped with regular electrical tape.

What does AWG mean?
American Wire Guage. The smaller the number the larger the wire. As in an AWG 14/2 wire is much smaller than an AWG 10/2 wire.
What is the required wire size wire for 100 amp service?
A #3 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively.
What size wire for 100amp service?
4 AWG copper or 2 AWG aluminum.
What is the required wire size for 100?
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
How do you choose the right fuse for the job?
The correct size fuse needed is based on the size wire used in the circuit. The size wire needed is based on the load that will be applied to the circuit. 1. AWG 14/2 wire = 15 amp fuse 2. AWG 12/2 wire = 20 amp fuse 3. AWG 10/2 wire = 30 amp fuse 4. AWG 8/2 wire = 40 amp fuse
