Re: Problems With The Power Distribution Block
I am not enamored with the rockwell power distribution block.
The positive end of the block is completely redundant, one can
simply route the positive wire through the max-fuse block to
the panel for smaller fuses and be done with it. We can do
a much lower resistance job for the ground returns with the
ground lug from 2004 than we could ever get from the power
distribution block.
Loctite should not be used on electrical connections, it is not
a conductor. There is no substitute for proper torque on all
of the electrical screws, and proper stress relief for the wires.
The terminal block does need to be tightened to specifications.
If you don't have a suitable torque screwdriver, you can do quite
well with a wrench attached to a hex drive screw driver, and a
small "fishing scale."
We have not had problems with bare wire in the power distribution block,
but if we have to use this distribution block next year we will certainly
use the ferrules.
