Re: [RE-wrenches] Module grounding requirements

[Brian Wiley]

Hi Jim. Please see http://we-llc.com/WEEBLug_story.html. You can certainly repeat the test in your own lab. What we were trying to point out is that the contact area for 2 threads of a thread forming screw do not match the rating of the lug.  The lug does meet the UL467 standard, but the lug plus thread forming screw does not. Best Regards, Brian Wiley North Texas Renewable Energy Inc wrote: 6) I think John Wiles recommended the star washer / bolt /    weather resistant lug combination as a solution in the absence of a    module manufacture's specific instructions. Dick Ratico Solarwind Electric Bradford, VT After a quick search of Brian Wileys www site we-llc, I could not find the video clip that allegedly shows the traditional burial-rated ground lug frying its mounting screw at its rated ampacity. Has this controversy been cleared up or just vanished due to lack of interest?
