[RE-wrenches] Buchanan Crimp in 1000v Applications and the NEC

[Sam Haraldson]

Wrenches,

On the attached product spec sheet for Ideal Copper Crimps (aka Buchanan
crimps) you'll see that max voltage for the crimp is rated at 600V but an
asterisk indicates up to 1000V when "in fixtures and signs".  In our
application this is a 1000v system and we are joining pairs of #10 PV
wires.  The junctions are made in a rail-mounted, plastic j-box.  We could
not find the definition of "fixture" as it might pertain to this situation
in the NEC and as such are interested to learn more about using Buchanan
crimps for 1000V applications.
