Re: Is the use of slip rings legal?

None of what any of us say really means anything official, or is necessarily correct. If you are in doubt, i would recommend you ask FIRST.

Re: Is the use of slip rings legal?

In general, in the past, FIRST has held that any properly insulated electrical connector is fine as long as it is rated to a higher degree than the circuit breaker that is installed on the same circuit. Obviously, that does not mean that it would be legal this year but I would believe that it would not be illegal.

Re: Is the use of slip rings legal?

In the past, slip rings were specifically mentioned as things you could not use. However I saw no mention of them in the rules this year, and I'm not sure just when that little rule dropped from sight. So as long as it meets the other requirements for the electrical system I think it's OK.
