   T&B makes a line of C-Taps that are listed as Grounding and Bonding Equipment (suitable for splicing the GEC) that can be applied by T&B lever action crimpers. The T&B C-Tap #54720 will do two #6 solid copper conductors side-by-side. The #54720 is color coded "brown". The installation instructions are available Here.

   Perhaps Table 8 in the back of the book might provide your answer. It shows an option for stranded or solid, for wires #8 and smaller, and it only shows stranded for larger wires.

   If it was an issue, then NEC 310-16 would need to seperate out ampacities based on solid and stranded conductors. And here is the kicker for DC. Look at Table 8 Chapter 9 NEC on the right hand side of the table. DC resistances are given. And the solid wire has lower resistance than stranded.

   Retired Electrical Contractor. Nov 18, 2011. #2. As someone pointed out not all devices will accept stranded but if they can then yes you can wrap the standed wire around the terminal of the device. A good trick is to strip the wire but don't remove the jacket until you wrap the wire around the screw. The jacket at the end of the wire will hold ...

   You could run #10 solid for DC from the array if you can find it with the proper insulation (UV resistant PV wire, and 1kV or better for 1000VDC systems), but why would you want to? Reactions: jaggedben

   Oct 20, 2003. #7. Re: stranded vs. solid wire Some pros of stranded: Stranded has more surface area. The electricity moves on surface area. Stranded is less likely to break from a small nick. Stranded is less likely to suffer from metal fatigue if exercised. Stranded costs more (more P&O for the EC).
