Re: Main Power Connection to Power Distribution Board
Wally,
There is no restriction (via a robot rule) for the type of terminal used for the input to the PD. Terminals that are wider than 0.5" will not make good contact unless sufficient torque is applied to the hardware. KPA terminals of the type available at big box stores are too high and will not allow the installation of the PD terminal cover. Please be sure to insulate as in the past, if you use these terminals.
