[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 259552, member: 16173"] I use bootlace ferrules (French colours) on stranded stuff pretty much all the time at work. Into contactors, push button blocks, plcs, you name it. On motors it's ring crimps on the terminal block. I'll generally use ferrules in Commando type plugs and sockets as well. I'm that sad that often when wiring a 13A plug I'll put a ferrule on the wire ends like what you get when you see a commercially wired plug. Interesting what the OP said about the Aussie wiring - about 15 years ago we were importing crane equipment from NZ and we had to basically read them the riot act to get them to fit ferrules AND cable markers in their control panels......... Can't see the point on single, solid cores though....... [/QUOTE]
