Is it legal to make a custom slip ring?

[Jon Stratis]

It looks like you can get the MW1430 for around $55. It has 4 contacts, each rated for 30A... what about running the contacts in parallel? This is something I would want to ask the GDC before implementing, but running 12 gauge wire up to the slip ring, splitting each wire across two connectors in the slip ring, then combining them again when you go into the CIM motor. It would be an interesting way to get around the 30A limitation! Not really convinced the GDC would think it legal, though.
