for instance, breaking into a series run of cable to install a switch for a device.
Splice uses stranded wires while joint uses solid wire.
You don't need to solder a splice, but you may wish to depending on the environment. The key is to have a reliable joint that minimizes joint resistance. Depending on current, type of wire and application there are various splice methods and devices available. On any splice unless it is a ground, you want to just make sure that bare wire isn't exposed to cause a short or safety hazard.

The term 'splice' tends to be used in North America, whereas the term 'joint' tends to be used in the UK. For high-voltage cables, the tradesmen are known as 'splicers' (North America) or 'jointers' (UK).
Electrical wire splicing is the act of removing the outer shell of a wire, exposing the inside and connecting to another wire that is also spliced. This also allows you to add length to wiring.
Yes, but you have to use connectors designed for that purpose. Using ordinary wire nuts could cause a circuit failure due to a high resistive junction.
One splice that would work is a western splice.
Yes as long as you use an approved splice, such as a wire-nut.
A wire splice is the joining of two or more wires together. Commonly this is done with an approved wire joining nut. All slices are to be made in junction boxes to prevent fire should the wire splice become unserviceable.
Yes, you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair.

Splice uses stranded wires while joint uses solid wire.
The electrical code states that any splice in a wire, the insulation over the splice has to be equal to or greater than the insulation on that of the rest of the wire. So what ever type of splice that you use make sure that you insulate it well.
It is the same type as the western union splice, where the two wires are overlapping and wound back on the opposite conductor.
The electrical splice and joint types are the Western Union splice, tap joint or splice, fixture joint or splice, and the rattail joint. The splices and joints are used to connect two pieces of wires to carry an electrical signal or current.
No. When you splice a ground it needs to be made by accepted means and the splice must be inspectable. Covering the splice with tape prevents inspection.
Try it see what happens... >:l Can you splice them? Yes. Should you splice them? No. It really all depends on what your over current protection is. If your #12 wire is on a 20 amp breaker, your #18 wire can melt and cause a fire without tripping the breaker. I do not know what is the amp rating of 18 gauge wire. -- Sparkfighter
