Can anyone: 

-confirm that wire nuts are not allowed in induction motor junction boxes in 
the EU? 

-provide reasons why? 

-suggest solutions other than permanently mounted terminal strips? 



I'm not finding this in IEC 60204-1, but it seems to be a common practice that 
IEC motors have terminal strips rather than loose wire leads. 



Interestingly, clause 13.5.9.2 of NFPA 79 explicitly prohibits "twist-on wire 
connectors" for motor connection boxes. 



Thanks!
