A Marr connector is a brand name for a wire nut. They were one of the first companies to make a wire connector and the name in the trade has stuck. When joining wires together it is still referred to marretting the wires together. I prefer B-Caps as more wires can be gathered together. Marretts were made in three sizes 31's, 33'sand 35's. Depending on the size of the wires to be joined together will govern the size of the wire nut.

There is a great article on related links below that gives a bit of history as to how they became into being.

How do i know what wires to connect together on an ac transformer?

All transformers are AC. Your question also does not contain enough information. If it is a multi-tap transformer, the wiring will be unique to the manufacturer but is very often indicated on a label or printed onto the former or case of the transformer. If it isn't a muti-tap transformer, no wires should be connected together, or you have worded the question very badly.


What does wire splicing mean?

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.


Europe 3 phase motor wiring how to go to low voltage 230 volt AC Currently wired w2 u2 and v3 tied together with w1 u1 and vi to line for 460 voltage Y How do you wire for low voltage?

Leave 460 w1 u1 v1 to L1 L2 L3 the 230 incoming low voltage, feed wires for 230v will have to be a heaver wire, Unjump w2 u2 v2,then put a jumper from w2 to U1, next u2 to v1 are jumped together, last is v2 to w1 jumped together. Remember that the 460 wires are lighter wires, the wire gage is a larger number, always check your electrical references, 230v will be a heaver wire or a wire gage with a smaller number....

What are high voltage electric wires made of?

Primary utility wiring uses an ACSR cable, (Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced). The multiple strands of aluminum wires are wound around a center steel cable. The steel center is used to allow longer spans between poles or towers. Ordinary aluminum wire can not be long spanned because its weight would break the wire. All other high voltage wiring is done with different insulation thicknesses dependant upon what the voltage is. The higher the voltage the thicker the insulation. Insulation of the wires stops when the conductors carry kilo voltages usually above 5000 volts.

1995 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo you installed a factory CD player in it the other day the CD player works but you can't get amfm stations and the clock is not lit what should you do?

Regarding the radio is the antenna hooked in the back of the unit correctly? Is so then your first and second problems are properly due to wires being crossed up. Recheck your wiring diagram closely. Find the CD wires and the speaker wires and tie them together and out of the way. Then begin changing two wires at a time until you fine the correct matchup. (Just because you have two blue wires it does mean they automatically go together) I had this problem in the past.
