[RE-wrenches] Wire short?

[RE Ellison]

If you disconnect MC connectors under load they will go bad really fast.
They can’t tolerate any arcing at all when you disconnect them under load.
I’ve run into this in the past but in this case the voltage getting through was even less.

Simple, right?  He connects two modules, gets his 73.2VDC and lands his PV output leads on the circuit breaker and discovers he only has 39VDC.  So, what are the possibilities?  Loose connections at the MC4 connectors?  Bad blocking diode?  Ideas anyone?
