There is no shame in referring to these devices as reducers. As
long as the smallest conductor size meets ampacity and voltage drop
ratings, the use of larger copper is something to be proud of. It
indicates an awareness of efficiency through design.<br><br>
We don't favor splices that are not secured to a mounting surface.
We want to be able to access a conductor for testing and labelling and we
want to know where it is in a given enclosure. Therefore we use
power distribution blocks such as those manufactured by Greaves, Ilsco
and Square D. Here is a link to Illsco:

Insulated Cable Terminal Blocks, like the ones made by Polaris and others, work really well.<br>
<br>

Or Ilsco: <a href="http://www.ilsco.com/productcategory.aspx?akjdjfv=bq9oHViFaxQnf2g6uRehNA%3d%3d&kfnejkf=PQ4y9C2vFEtL0I9NN25RaXTu7nvvtfQWhY2ly2ShYpg%3d">http://www.ilsco.com/productcategory.aspx?akjdjfv=bq9oHViFaxQnf2g6uRehNA%3d%3d&kfnejkf=PQ4y9C2vFEtL0I9NN25RaXTu7nvvtfQWhY2ly2ShYpg%3d</a><br>
<br>
Or, you can also use a splicer right at the inverter terminals:<br>

<br>
Hi all.....anyone have any recommendations for good lugs useful as<u> <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ei=ARG4SvuoOJKAswPmwogb&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=wire+gauge+reducers&spell=1">wire </a><b><i>gauge</i></b><a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ei=ARG4SvuoOJKAswPmwogb&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=wire+gauge+reducers&spell=1"> reducers</a></u>?<br>
we need to go from #4AWG to #6AWG in the terminals.......specifically we are trying to land our wires in the SMA DC Disconnect which handles a maximum of #6AWG wire size.....<br>
I was hoping for some ideas other than butt connectors......<br>
Thanks!!!<br>
