Wago implementation

[supton]

Under the hood I would want sealed, and electrical tape doesn’t qualify. Inside the car, ok, I’d use Wago’s there (and did once).

C’mon, man, blue masking tape is hardly an appropriate wrap/insulation for automotive electrical.

Nor are wagos appropriate.

I bet that happened because they are meant for alternating current, AC not DC. 20 amp Wagos CAN start to get soft at 60 amp AC if in a pull box. Wago makes a 30 amp larger version. I don't know if there is enough cool down the Wago gets wit the alternating current and wave form ramp up and ramp down, that allows more cooling. Where direct DC load stays at 100% load with no wave form cool down time even though the AC wave is ramping/ramping down 60 times a second. Here is a Wago test.

My AC is AC, not DC.

The connectors are also in a small metal enclosure.

Received info on the pull test. 20 gauge is about 6.5#.

NSI Polaris with Allan set screws is the way to go
