Re: do we "NEED" the power distribution block

William and Mike,
I don't think that the Q&A fully addressed the cutting of the jumper plugs. If that is allowed in the future, it must include a note to fully insulate the cut end. Quite frankly, the majority of weight is already there, and having an extra block to add functionality later would be a desirable thing. If you are using a four motor drive and 40 amp breakers, you need at least two red and three black blocks anyway.
