The allowance in the UL white book for stranded wire under a binding screw is CRAP!!!
Well I think that is bull.
I can make great stranded to screw connections. Every one of them is a better connection then Wagos or backstabs.
Hey Bob i will agree with your last statement i done this many time and i am not tooo crazy with the Wagos unless they have one of the build in levers [ but that other story i will deal with that later ]
Merci, Marc
Pas de problme,il marche n'est-ce pas?"(No problem, it works doesn't it?)
One of my IBM jobs was "service planning". Those are the folks who predict what happens to a product once field techs start working on it. Field crimped terminals are always a concern. That is why we made great efforts to be sure they had the proper tool. A properly crimped terminal is as strong as the wire itself but an improperly "squashed" terminal is a problem waiting to happen. "Twisted and taped" usually performs better.
