Wire nuts in DC? was (Re: Fried Combinor Box) [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Hey Jerry,

Actaully I was hoping someone could explain it to me.  I have heard that
self cleaning bit several times but never realy undersood it.  What I had
figured was that AC went back and forth 60 times a second (in the USA) while
DC only goes on one direction (unless you are talking about the battery
cables charge-discharge).

Could I have read it in Wiles book?
