In Reply to: RE: If all of the components are plugged into the inverter ... posted by rickmcinnis@dogwoodfabrics.com on August 18, 2022 at 08:13:18
but it needs checking periodically to see if there is a problem with oxidation, or needs to be prepped with a deoxit solution or dielectric grease. Even then it should be rechecked. High humidity destroys. Soldering it is the only way to ensure, but you better have a way to quickly unplug everything in case of a lightning storm. I don't trust the breaker box on/off for that.
Follow Ups:
Either one would need periodic attention.
Soldering large gauge wires is not a sure thing, either.
Nothing is a sure thing, is it? Keeps us on our toes!
I've checked mine after 15 years and all is just fine, no solder degradation, no oxidized contacts, nothing. So saying this is unnecessary. If the tension within the outlet contacts has been compromised in any way I would have just replaced it. I know enough to DIY.
BTW, if anyone is reading this make sure you turn off breakers on the box before you touch anything
I was thinking of 8 and 10 gauge Mil spec stranded wire.
All less than that is another story and I would not think of doing anything other than soldering.
I should have been more specific.
