[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 531631, member: 250"] Well here opens another can-o-worms... Just how much give & take is there on the tolerances of wago connectors...? Should they only ever be used on metric sized conductor CSA's? or.... Is an imperial conductor pushed into a dedicated slot in a wago connector.. safer or more dangerous than a three cables butchered with strands cut into a single lug on a cross-threaded 30A round J/box??? Providing the current rating of the connection device is suitable for the load current and the rating of the protective device.. I can hazard a guess at what our late esteemed colleague "Sir Deke" would have suggested with reference to the problem, compared to a reasonable solution and the intervention of the "Electric Police"?? But... if we can't do it.. Then I suspect its a circuit re-wire needed??? 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 [/QUOTE]
