Connecting 6 stranded wires together
Hi,
My first post.
How would you connect 6 stranded cables together.
If used the Wago http://www.wago.com/cps/rde/xchg/SID-E8A39A96-6D0D9AFB/wago/style.xsl/sve-2631.htm
for 5 of them - but 5 seems to be the max.
I have connected two of the Wago connectors together with a wire but this seems to make one of the lights connected to it flicker a lot ....
Alternatives? Thoughts? (Thanks)... and sorry about the English but you wouldn't understand my Swedish if I wrote it ...

)Yeah - actually one of the 6 is a non stranded wire (for some reason - old house). So the Torix (the screw.type connectors? http://www.elonline.se/Shop/Page/Art/pgArtList.php?sSearchWord=torix ?) just doesnt work - I cant get the non stranded wire to stay in there, its too rigid ...
Thx for the response though .....

Can not be any problem using Two WAGO with a bit of wire between.paucli skrev:Hi,

...
If lights flicker you must have another problem.
think of this.
From the fuses 5 foot of wire to an Connection point with an WAGO another bit of wire to next Connection point.
It does't matter if it is 2 inch or 10 feet.
WAGO is top of art.
Sorry about my english. (And My iPad WHO tries to change to swedish all time)
Protte
Torix BIG NO!!! Torix is crap
Slugge: Wago 8: All the Wagos Ive seen over 5 are for non-stranded wires .. I dont think you can push in stranded wires into the Wago 8 type connectors.
Prototypen: Originally I had 5 nulls connected and 3 powers connected. I added a lamp so that I needed 6 nulls connected and 4 powers connected. Theres a lot of wires and Im not exactly sure why there are diff numbers here but theres other things than lights in the wiring. Anyway I now have 6 nulls connected and 4 powers ... the new lamp works fine but one of the existing ones (theres now 3 lights and two switches) starts slowly, then flickers, then dims, then bright up all in around 30 seconds.
The six nulls are 1X5pol wago and 1x3pol wago with a wire between them and a wire going to the new lamp.
I agree that it should work - Id think the el conducts quickly enough not to notice the additional bridge.
Guess as you say its another problem ... Ill have to continue playing around wiht it ..
Thx for all responses ....

The wires are the below and like thebelow graphic. This cable has 3 wires - blue, white, green...each of which is stranded (ie not solid wires).
All wires fit into the WAGO 222-series connector. But the Wago-8 and Helacon 8 I think only take non stranded cables.
Im connecting 2 WAGO 222's now ... I guess the problem is somewhere else ....
Thanks for the response ...

You're right, you need Wago 222 for this cable.
On the other hand, this cable is not mean for fixed installation, so you probably got the wrong cable unless you're assembling a lamp or something else with a plug.
You initial attempt should work. Flickering is probably caused by stripping the cable too short. It should be 12-14 mm if I remember correctly.

Redigerat:
In the basement I had two lights and two switches. I added a light - the very simple (cheap) wall hung ceramic light base with a glass ball. The wire goes from the junction to the lamp and el and null only connect to the lamp. I just added the wires in the junction box to where the wires of one of the other lamps was connected.
Am i on the right track? Only real problem now is the flickering light...
Reading the Web - I guess "RKK" means fine stranded ..... which means I cant use any other series than the WAGO 222 series ... (ie the 2273 series, 273 series, 773 series, etc ...)

Ok, you're connecting a lamp. You're on the right track then. Try again.
