Re: how much current does jag use
My crimper for those ferrules results in a square cross section. I use them in cage-clamp style terminal blocks for work normally. Raw stranded will still probably end up with more contact area, but the ferrules are harder to pull out. I will compare the ferrules I have against the Wago ones to see how they compare. Thanks for the hint.

Edit: A quick look at Wago's catalog shows basically the same ferrules.
To get this post back on-topic:
Wires inserted into the power distribution terminals should also be subjected to a pull test!
