Respectfully, I would choose the same idea but a different part number for this scenario. The way I read the catalog, # 7626K12 has 1 input connection, and 4 output connections for each of 2 circuits/2 legs. here

Respectfully, I would choose the same idea but a different part number for this scenario. The way I read the catalog, # 7626K12 has 1 input connection, and 4 output connections for each of 2 circuits/2 legs. here
The 7626K22 aforementioned has one input connection, one output connection, for each of 2 circuits. So two output wires would have to be landed under the same terminal screw on the "output side", which is generally not good practice. here
What i would do is to get a junction box of the suiting size and IP, depending on how many wires are in the cable, with enough space to let you have some leeway in the wires, to be able to reconnect it if ever the need arise.
A DIN rail to mount the connections on.
I have a 6" junction box with one 6 ga. wire for a 50 amp service. I'd like to "pigtail" this wire to two outlets. one for my welder and one for my plasma cutter. These units will not be used at the same time.
If I understand your question. I think the proper procedure (one I use) is to use split bolts (Kearneys) to make up your pigtails that head to individual boxes. The leads are mated and secured with split bolts, wrapped with a few turns of cambric tape and finished of with a bunch of turns of a Scotch #88 electrical tape. The spit bolts must be of a size to accommodate all your wires and the enclosure must be of a size to accommodate the ensuing mass of stuff. Needless to say any circuit protection must match wire size.
about 10 in series may work for the roughing pump <:)> more
What’s the best way to join two 6 gauge wires inside a junction box?
and my favorite for Cu to Al, or any metal to any metal, is ion-beam welding, but ya gotta get the wires into a vacuum chamber <G> more
Yeah a crimper, but a good pair of channel locks can work too.
Thanks for any help you can provide! more
I am happy to have found this forum- reading old posts has really helped me get this project moving.
If the #10 does not exceed the box fill of the junction box on the light #10 is fine. Measure the cubic inches of the junction box attached to the light and tell us the number of wires in the box. more
If I'm reading the instructions right, the biggest wire recommended for my cans is 12 gauge. Can I use 12 gauge on this circuit? If so, where do I switch the gauge? I'm not really keen on going all the way back to the switch, can I just attach 12 gauge wire to the existing 10 gauge coming off the switch and then attach the 12 gauge to the cans?
