A small issue, drawing on the collective wisdom here:<br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For an upcoming quad-stack installation of
Sunny Island inverters, I foolishly ordered some fine stranded
copper 1/0 Cobra X-Flex Cable because of its flexibility. In
this situation, because of NEC ampacity requirements on our
total DC cabling (this system also has a single Radian for
some dedicated loads) we are only running 125 amp DC breakers
on each SI inverter. <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our issue is that the SI installation
manual specifically notes not to use fine stranded cable into
the terminal lugs. This was news to me. We can purchase 1/0
Ilsco or Panduit copper pigtail adapters to make the
connection into the terminals of the inverters, but they are
$10 to $14 each, and we need eight of them.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is using doubled up #4 or #2 the only
solution?<o:p></o:p> Are there any other suggestions that will
allow us to use the 1/0 X-Flex?<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<br>
Allan <o:p><br>
