Conductor identification
Conductor identification may be provided. A first sleeve may be placed around a first conductor and a second sleeve around a second conductor. Next, a first tag may be placed on the first conductor and a second tag on the second conductor. Then, the first conductor and the second conductor may be pulled together through a conduit. The first conductor may slideably move through the first sleeve and the second conductor may slideably move through the second sleeve as the first conductor and the second conductor are pulled together through the conduit.
1. A method comprising:
placing a first sleeve around a first conductor, wherein the first sleeve comprises a first sleeve indicia;
placing a second sleeve around a second conductor;
placing a first tag on the first conductor, wherein the first tag comprises a first tag indicia corresponding to the first sleeve indicia;
placing a second tag on the second conductor; and
pulling the first conductor and the second conductor together through a conduit wherein the first conductor slideably moves through the first sleeve and the second conductor slideably moves through the second sleeve as the first conductor and the second conductor are pulled together through the conduit.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein placing the first tag on the first conductor comprises placing the first tag on the first conductor at a first end of the first conductor.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein placing the second tag on the second conductor comprises placing the second tag on the second conductor at a first end of the second conductor.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein placing the second sleeve around the second conductor comprises placing the second sleeve around the second conductor wherein the first conductor and the second conductor are undistinguishable from one another.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein placing the second sleeve around the second conductor comprises placing the second sleeve around the second conductor wherein the first conductor and the second conductor comprise the same color and the same size.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein pulling the first conductor and the second conductor comprises pulling the first conductor and the second conductor from a multiple conductor container assembly.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein pulling the first conductor and the second conductor comprises pulling the first conductor and the second conductor from a multiple conductor container assembly through a container tap wire guide mounted on the multiple conductor container assembly.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising placing a first harness around the first conductor and the second conductor between the conduit and the first sleeve and the second sleeve.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising placing a second harness around the first conductor and the second conductor between a multiple conductor container assembly and the first sleeve and the second sleeve.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
placing the second sleeve around the second conductor comprises placing the second sleeve wherein the second sleeve comprises a second sleeve indicia, and
placing the second tag on the second conductor comprises placing the second tag wherein the second tag comprises a second tag indicia corresponding to the second sleeve indicia.
11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, after pulling the first conductor and the second conductor together through the conduit, placing a third tag on the first conductor at a second end of the first conductor, the third tag comprising a third tag indicia corresponding to the first sleeve indicia.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising, after pulling the first conductor and the second conductor together through the conduit, placing a fourth tag on the second conductor at a second end of the second conductor, the fourth tag comprising a fourth tag indicia corresponding to a second sleeve indicia.
13. A method comprising:
placing a first sleeve around a first conductor, wherein the first sleeve comprises a first sleeve indicia;
placing a second sleeve around a second conductor;
placing a first tag on the first conductor, wherein the first tag comprises a first tag indicia corresponding to the first sleeve indicia;
placing a second tag on the second conductor;
pulling a first end of the first conductor and a first end of the second conductor together through a conduit wherein the first conductor slideably moves through the first sleeve and the second conductor slideably moves through the second sleeve as the first conductor and the second conductor are pulled together through the conduit;
after pulling the first conductor and the second conductor together through the conduit,
cutting the first conductor at a second end of the first conductor, and
removing the first sleeve from around the first conductor.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
cutting the second conductor at a second end of the second conductor, and removing the second sleeve from around the second conductor.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein pulling the first conductor and the second conductor comprises pulling the first conductor and the second conductor from a multiple conductor container assembly.
16. The method of claim 13 , wherein pulling the first conductor and the second conductor comprises pulling the first conductor and the second conductor from a multiple conductor container assembly through a container tap wire guide mounted on the multiple conductor container assembly.
17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising placing a first harness around the first conductor and the second conductor between the conduit and the first sleeve and the second sleeve.
18. The method of claim 13 , further comprising placing a second harness around the first conductor and the second conductor between a multiple conductor container assembly and the first sleeve and the second sleeve.
19. The method of claim 13 , further comprising attaching an indicia corresponding to the first sleeve indicia to the second end of the first conductor.
