One fix is to confirm the date of manufacturer of the Engage cable ( much of the fine strand version remains in distribution). Another is to source appropriate ferrules to be crimped onto the fine stranded conductors before using them in the standard Soladeck terminals.<br><br>Also beware of the same issue if you are splicing with these older Engage cables. Most screw terminals like Polaris are also not listed for use with fine stranded conductors. NSI has a special Polaris terminal that is grey that is listed for use with fine stranding, and can safely be used.<br>I saw a few incorrect Polaris blocks pulled from an installation recently that had melted...</div></div><div dir="ltr"><hr><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">From: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="mailto:mjmorningstar@gmail.com">Michael Morningstar</a></span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">Sent: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">8/8/2016 15:23</span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">To: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">RE-wrenches</a></span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">Subject: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Re: [RE-wrenches] Pass through/transition box for Enphase</span><br><br></div><div></div><div>I use DIN rail mount "feed through" terminal blocks.
