I was initially going to post this with the current thread on Panel Design but though it would be better as a stand alone.
What's the opinion on Cage Clamps vs. Screw Terminals/ Screw Terminals & Ferrules? Something like these from AD.
I have been think of using them on my next job after there were 3 "loose wire" on my last job where they were either not fastened completely or were tightened on wire insulation. Talk about a troubleshooting nightmare with our new in-house "no live power probing" rule. They look more failsafe and only cost about 2X the normal screw types which is cheap compared to the labor to troubleshoot.
It seems that there should also be self stripping types so you don't have to strip the wires, are there and does anyone have experience with them? Preferred suppliers?
TIA,
Mike
