How to Install an LC200 GTO Wire Splice

The LC200 GTO Wire Splice is a wire connector used for high-voltage applications, specifically for powering neon signs. The LC200 is equipped to handle high voltages and withstand outdoor weather conditions without shorting out. However, it can wear out over time.
