<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class=""><p class="">Greetings;</p><p class="">I've noticed several of the factory wired power panels over the
years from Magnum, Outback, Midnite, Etc are not compliant with
NEC 300.34 wire bending radius. (Radius should not be less than 8
times the diameter) Basically they should look like sweep bends in
PVC conduit, not plumbing. Here's a pic from a recent Magnum
system</p><p class=""><span id="cid:part1.9F7CF1C5.D4F7E01B@solarray.com"><mhpimhgejcgimblo.jpg></span></p><p class="">You can see the kinks in the insulation on the inside of the
bend, and the color fading on the outside from being
overstretched. Some might think this is neat work, but its
actually permanent wire damage and a code violation. Imagine the
strain on the copper inside. <br class="">
</p><p class="">Midnite is very proactive and has improved, I ask that Magnum do
the same and soon.</p><p class="">Thanks,<br class="">
