There are two main types of splices with split bolts, series and parallel. In a series splice the wire is continuous with the split bolt connecting the two ends of the wire. In parallel splices usually used for large motor connections the wire ends are side by side with the split bolts tying the two wires together. In both cases the first insulation over the bolts should be a rubber amalgamation tape with at least four overlay wraps. The second taping with an approved electrical tape for a more protective abrasion coat. This should also be applied as a four overlay wrap.
