What do you guys use when crimping solid conductors? I seldom get something i'm really happy with. If i give it a good tug it usually feels like its going to pull apart, and sometimes does. I end up either working around the need to do it, or faffing around with a soldering iron if I can't.
I'm a big fan of Wago but am interested to know what the issue might be for derating and boxing. Just curious!
The wagos have to be derated when installed as MF in their enclosure. https://www.connexbox.com/assets/index/download/id/44/
I think you are mistaken. Why would you need to 'de-rate' a junction in a circuit? The whole point of a joint in a circuit is to maintain the circuit current carrying capacity of the joint. You are making up your own 'ideas' around the current rating requirements of the joint. De-rating indeed. Nonsense.
Explain why you would put a weakness in to a circuit? Numpty. The joint MUST be the same rating as the circuit or you wouldn't use it, numpty.
unphased you are an absolute idiot..who tinkers around learning his trade as he goes along in unsuspecting customers houses.....I'm off to rugby. Proper bell end!
YOU need a lesson in the meaning of DE-RATING you time served know-it-all! There is too much emphasis in the industry on people who aren't time served, I take great exception to that. I can wipe the floor with many time served electricians its not difficult. Rugby player? Too many knocks to the head by the sounds of it.
The article you posted does not mention de-rating at all. It is a common trait amongst time served electricians to invent their own requirements and expect everyone else to believe their twaddle.
