A tap splice is a splice that is made usually in a mid span of aerial feeder conductors. It is used to connect a home from a utility company's secondary service drop on the street where the span is between poles and it is not convenient to connect a mid span home to either pole. Tap splices are also made in underground services where the utility feeders are in conduit between junction boxes. Each home along the route has an underground conduit from the junction box to the homes meter base. In the junction box where the home service wires connect to the utility feeders, this splice is known as a tap splice.

What are the importance of electrical splice and joints?
Totally important!The connections must be well made and the wires tightly joined to prevent a loss of voltage to the device powered. In high current situations a poor connection causes heat at the connection and oxididaion of the wires and no more or intermittent connections.Most problems in electrical is not a short but: an open connection.Additional AnswerIn the case of high-voltage underground cables, the restoration of the insulation is critically important, as is restoring the cable's waterproof integrity. The skills required are such that cable jointers serve a full apprenticeship in that particular trade.
Why are taps made of metal?
Taps need not be made with metal.... But most taps are because they don't melt if hot water passes through............

How do you wire a three phase motor if none of the wires are idetified?
If it is a three lead 3-phase motor, it is easy: connect the incoming three leads randomly to the three leads on the motor (one to one) so that there are a total of three splices. The motor will run but possibly in reverse If it runs in reverse, switch any two of the three splices ---- If the motor has more than three leads, and they are not marked, it is much more difficult. You will have to have a working knowledge of how to test the leads and compare the results with the information given on the nameplate

What are the disadvantages and advantages of splices?
Splices allow wires to be pulled into raceways without the need for looping longer lengths of wire; looping wire-pulls entails more labor and increasing chance of damaging to the wire Each splice however, introduces a potential failure point if not done right, and requires its own special parts and extra labor. The splices can heat up, burn up, shake loose, etc. If we are talking control wiring, the added splices increasing the chances of mixing up the wires, which will cause mucho troubleshooting woes.
Different kinds of splices and joints?
The four types of splices and joints are the Western Union splice, tap splice or tap joint, fixture splices or fixture joints, and rattail joint. The most common among the four wire splices is the Western Union splice.
Illusrations of common wire splices and joints?
You can splice wires together in many ways. You can solder them together and then tape them up or use a shrink insulator that shrinks by heating it up. You can strip the wires back about 1/2 inch and then twist them together and put them under a wire nut. Wire splices in a home must be spliced together inside a junction box with a cover. Wires can never be spliced behind a wall. Any splice should be placed where you can access it later on.
Is it all right to cover electric wires with insulation in attic?
Yes as long as they are in a romex style wire. Like 12-2 for example. Which is individual wires incased in an outer jacket. You should never have just single wires running in the attic unprotected or anywhere for that matter. Individual wires must be in a conduit. And any splices should be in a box.
