Re: Quad Boxes
And the quicker to swap out if there is a failure. Weren't you complaining about the lack of connectors inside some piece of equipment?
No, I was complaining about a costly fix due to lack of connectors.
As a lineman I see a lot of failures dealing with a lot more current then a edison plug.
Do this, plug a hairdryer in and crank it up full blast for 5 minutes, see whats the hottest part, the plug or the wire. It will be the plug, why its only contacting on a small part of the blade.
Take a 600 amp disconnect switch on a 13.2 kw feeder. What part of the circuit do you think will fail,,? The contact points at the end of the blade.
Take a sub transmission line 69 kv or transmission line 230 kv, barring lightnining strikes, where will it fail first, the wire, or a connection at a loop? , the connection. Point, make a connection as positive as possible, edison vs. wire nut,, wire nut!
Had a guitar player get a wack off the vocal mic this weekend, we got 32 volts from strings to mic, problem was, the ground on his iec cable was busted off in the moulding, going to his amp.
I can go on forever, but if you want to daisy chain a bunch of quad box's and rely on a press fit of high resistant edison plug vs. a wire nutted and well twisted pair of wires, have at it.
Also, never use the push in terminals on a receptical.
