<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;">The only problem I've had with them is that their connectors can allow multi stranded wire to "broom out", (after installation) -- causing a loose / high resistance contact. I've learned to torque / wiggle & twist and retorque all multi strand connections. I have had one side of a 60A QO breaker go open out of the blue. db<br><br><br>

Is it just me, or have other wrenches had problems with the CBI circuit <br>
breakers used in the Outback or Midnite combiner boxes?<br>
