Spare Conductors??

[Mike01]

I have a situation where we are removing some 480V equipment (4/0 conductors) the owner wants the cables removed to an adjacent j-box as a emergency just in case ckt. or for future use. With the availability of someone accidentally energizing the feeder what are some percusations to take in order to insulate the conductor in the pull box is taping adequate of is there some kind of ?boot? 600V class I could utilize? Unless someone makes a wirenut for a 4/0 conductor..

Remove them from the breaker.....heat shrink a cap over both ends [tape would work just as well]...tag both ends.

Try a polaris block that should work.

Try a polaris block that should work.

I agree, or a 2 hole insulated tap would work well. You'll be ready to hook right onto it should you ever need those wires.

Good for 1000v protection, and cheaper than a polaris.

if they are in an adjacent jbox how would they get energized?

From the other end.

if they are in an adjacent jbox how would they get energized?

And if they are insulated and the CB and junction box are identified, how much of a problem would it be, if it was energized?
