[RE-wrenches] Wire nuts

[Starlight Solar Power Systems]

Hello Jerry, 

I see this on the AC side as well such as in this transfer switch. In all cases, I fault poor installation after examining how others are installed. I see your point but are you sure it is the product and not the installer?

To my fellow wrenches
It comes up every so often and with DC, I will not use, approve or pass any wire nuts on any DC side. Some say its OK but the facts are they will fail, this connection was just six years and when l opened the junction box it was glowing and by the looks of it has for some time. There are 8 strings 2 per string and thats a 12.5 % failure rate (the other one was completely distroyed) not to mention the fire hazard in a PVC junction box.
Please pass this along and tell everyone to stop using these. 
Jerry
