[RE-wrenches] Protecting/Cleaning un-connected MC Connectors

[Ray Walters]

I would think good old CRC contact cleaner, as the connectors have a 
grease coating that collects dust if left unconnected.
Follow up by regreasing with silicon gel as Glenn suggested.
I've been playing around with using unterminated connectors to 
temporarily seal up the dangling connectors.  This is not just for dirt/ 
wasps. etc, but to avoid someone making connections before they're 
ready.  (array lockout tagout)   I had a case I consulted on, where an 
900 VOC string was inadvertently short circuited.  When the guy came 
back to disconnect it, he got exposed to a fairly eye opening arc flash. 
(No gloves, no tinted safety glasses)  It ended up becoming an OSHA 
recordable for the company he worked for.
