note:
The diameter of the hole in the screw down terminal for the cable entry is 0.6” and
is just big enough for the diameter of the bare AWG #4/0 stranded cable. The ends of
the strands towards the cut face of the cable may get bent, frayed or spread outwards
during cutting causing the diameter of the cable near the cut face to increase slightly.
The strands towards the cut face need to be pressed together closely to reduce
the diameter near the cut face to less than 0.6”. To keep the strands towards the
cut face pressed together for easier entry into the terminal for cable entry, tightly
wrap insulation tape around 0.2” to 0.3” from the cut face. If required, straighten
and compress the bent, frayed, or spread out ends to reduce the diameter to the
minimum.
Insert the leading 0.2” to 0.3” bare portion into the hole and remove the insulating
tape to insert the bare end of the cable fully.
Please ensure that all the strands get inserted into the hole and that no strand(s) is
left forced out of the hole.
