Anyone have any Poly CSIs in the 250-260w range? Looking for three.
please contact me off list.

Did they torque the polaris terminals to the proper setting? I'd be willing
to bet they didn't which is why they're failing.

Be aware of the application of the correct model of Polaris (grey) when used on
finely stranded conductors, like the original Engage trunk cables.
I have seen many failures due to this problem.

Chris,
I had this happen once about six years ago. We do torque to specs, but
anything is possible. We have been using Burndy products for the past
five years and have zero problems with them. They are actually just a
little bit less in cost than Polaris.

Chris,
I have had Polaris connectors fail in combiners and inside Main Service
Panels. I immediately quit using them.. That was about 5 years ago. I
didn't trust wire nuts either as I have had them meltdown. I'm a split
bolt junky now. They never fail unless you don't wrap enough insulation
Hi Eric,
I had this happen on one install. I assumed that it was due to
insufficient terminal torque. I use the Polaris torque specs and my
torqueing screwdriver now on all Polaris connectors and have not had any
more issues (yet).

Wrenches,
We have been having Polaris connectors start to fail on older installs. About 4
or 5 years ago we abandoned wire nuts in favor of the much more pricey, but
deemed safer Polaris insulated tap connectors in our combiners. About a year
ago we transitioned, about 80% away from Polaris to
