Interesting product, and good for standard stranding conductors, as their UL
486C certification attests.
They are however a screw to conductor connection device and will have the
same limitation when used with finely stranded conductors as the standard
Polaris splices.

We will not alow any of our people or any subs to use wire nut twist nuts,
over the years l have seen way to many electrical issues as a result in
someone using the twist nuts, approved crimps are the best way to go with
the least space required.

Daniel,
My own home has a lot of Corten steel elements, roof, soffits, eaves and some
doors. Most everything in contact with the Corten is stainless steel, including
fasteners, plumbing vents, and chimney pipe flashing. The one thing that is not
SS are the gable end flashings which are copper.
No dumb questions.
I however cannot speak authoritatively on the twist-on splices as I haven't
done any research on them. I suspect after the research I have done, that they
do not have a listing for finely stranded conductors either, but that may be
for someone else to confirm.

Just had a client with a 20 + yr old top loader tripping the 30 amp input
breaker on a magnum 2012 even when running a 10 K generator. Lock rotor
current on these old beasts can be a real issue, and it got worse over
time.

Turns out the roof is Corten not copper anyone with experience using brass
clips with Corten or do we need to go SS?
Thanks for the input.

Bruce,
If you don't find a match, Backwoods Solar has made an effort to locate
and offer 72-cell 125mm-cell modules, primarily to serve off grid
installers and client who need to match existing arrays with 36-cell and
72-cell modules. These are in the familiar ~32" by 62" dimension
profile. Th
When we have the Enphase 240 VAC trunk line branching in two directions we
use these 300V rated Alumiconn 3 port connectors, to make them up to the #10
THWN-2. These are a scaled down version of the Polaris insultaps.

Hi Wrenches,
Enphase was manufacturing Engage Cable with fine strand (Type K) wiring. Due
to the challenges with wire terminals that are being discussed, we switched our
manufacturing lines to standard, 19 strand conductors.
The transition to 19 strand Engage Cable occurred in late 2015, and
So this may be a dumb question, but I'm assuming wire nuts are not
suitable for Fine strand wire? I agree that most installs are not code
compliant in this regard. Its really tough to find parts or even good
info on this.

Hopefully manufacturers will steer away from supplying fine stranded wires
with their trunk cables – it’s been a joke trying to fine the proper listed
reasonably priced parts to make these connections. I bet that a huge
percentage of the installs out there are not meeting the listing for fine
stran
The Ideal website for the Buchanan splice has a link to the UL listing for the
product. It does not list it for use with anything other than standard stranded
conductors.
If it is not part of the listing, it is not approved for that use, regardless
of historical or anecdotal use.
That is what th
