Electrical cable connection detail

[bigT]

The pictures were taken in a subdivision, the electricity company connected the 2 power carrying cables with the conductors exposed as shown on the pictures.

Is this the acceptable method of connecting power carrying cables in Philippines?

Eversince meralco farmed out its maintenance to MServe the quality of installations has gone down.

But hey, go to the provinces where relatively poorer electric cooperatives are left to fend for themselves. There you will find live wire intertwined with ground wire. Unfortunately the only way they can deliver services is to do with the cheapest and not necessarily safest systems.

yes, meralco use cable crimps, no insulators needed. but that kind of cabling job? ang balbon naman masyado niyan.
