Hi everyone!
Team 1700 is looking to try out Anderson Powerpole connectors on our electronics board this year, and we ran into three questions while shopping for options online:
1. To crimp 30 amp Powerpole contacts, do we need to buy the special Powerpole crimpers or can we get by with our
quick disconnect crimper? (In the long run, we'd definitely invest in the proper crimper, but we'd just like to be able to test out a few for now).
2. Are the 30 amp Powerpoles okay for our drive CIMs, which have 40 amp breakers?
3. If not, can the 45 amp Powerpoles fit 14 gauge wire? On the website, the suggested gauge is 10.
Thank you very much!
