This morning I wanted to see how my hydro crimper works on 1/0 lugs.
I was playing the 1/0 wire and it was more stubborn than my youngest. so I opted to cut 8 strands of 10 awg wires and use a 1/0 lug [all ancor marine grade] and crimped it.
I had to tape them tight to keep them even prior to crimping. But here is the result.
Total wire dia for 8 strands of 10 awg = 8*5.25mm2 = nearly equal to 42.4mm2 for 1 awg wire.
I find it more flexible but a bear to crimp.
