[RE-wrenches] Pass through/transition box for Enphase

[Glenn Burt]

Interesting product, and good for standard stranding conductors, as their UL
486C certification attests.

They are however a screw to conductor connection device and will have the
same limitation when used with finely stranded conductors as the standard
Polaris splices.

The Polaris grey connectors have a metal sleeve already in the port as part
of the device, which the screw crushes against the fine stranded conductors
- essentially performing the same function as installing ferrules on the
conductors.

When we have the Enphase 240 VAC trunk line branching in two directions we
use these 300V rated Alumiconn 3 port connectors, to make them up to the #10
THWN-2. These are a scaled down version of the Polaris insultaps.

I'm looking to bring 8 Enphase 240V circuits in multiple conduits into an
enclosure inside the attic where I can transition to Romex. I'd rather use
some kind of rail mounted terminals in an enclosure or something rather than
making splices in a generic j-box. I'm not looking to combine circuits -
just transition from THWN to Romex and keep things neat an organized.

 

Any suggestions?
