I totally agree with what you said... our 'machinist' rebuilds mining equipment for a living so he has some pretty beefy tools 'the wire on a normal peice of equipment carries about 480 volts at about 300 amps so he knows about working with big wire, the crimpers we used on the 6ga. wire had 3 foot handels and was a slide type 'it looked more like a vice than a pair of pliers' and would make the finished crimp into the shape of a U when completed. We also put heat shrink tubeing on all of the crimp joints. You can never be too safe. At one time I considered running some of the wire in conduit... hehe lol

Also could Some one Possabley post a pic of the housing they used for the 3 breakers and they'r associated wireing? Or give a few hints as to how they housed it?
