We have a panel with a 125HP VFD.
We need to run #3/0 wire from the disconnect to the VFD & line reactor. The normal stuff is hard to bend and we'd like to find a flexible wire solution.
I looked into welding cable, but apparently it isn't usable in a panel where you have to make mechanical connections. Does anyone have experience or insight into this? We don't typically do wire below #1, I just remember from the last job we used #3/0 it was nearly impossible to bend the wires and I'm looking for a better solution this time around.
