Terminating a 30HP motor, and want to use the ring and bolt method. Unfortunately most everyone where I work would only use wirenuts for this, so I wanted to get some help from you guys.
Feeder is 8awg THHN, leads in the peckerhead are either 10-12awg. Now I've used a lot of the yellow-blue-red crimp terminals before, but anything 8awg or bigger the crimp lugs(T&B Blackburn) get far larger than the smaller yellow insulated crimp terminals that I will use on the motor leads.
Is there any issue with using a 8awg crimp lug with a .25" hole bolted to a smaller yellow crimp terminals(10-12awg) that has a 3/16" hole?
