Re: Screw connectors to main breaker rusting?

There is a 2-14 on the connector.



So I am assuming that the connection was good enough to carry a little bit of current, enough to power the control system and nothing else, then when we tried to draw any real amount of current for motors it wasn't able to handle it through this bad connection, which would cause the loss of power to the cRIO?

From now on its crimp connectors only!

Thanks for the help.
