Hi All
Given that I have been somewhat forced to use REC 240PE panels (probably not a bad thing) due to current availability conditions, I notice they have Radox connectors on them. I'm used to MC3/MC4 usually so these are new to me. Does anyone know if you can get adapters to convert them to...

Hi lads,

Just reading the latest edition of PE and they have an article on Twist on Wire Connectors.
They're from Ideal Industries and looks like they going for a big relaunch.
Thought they were shoddy!
Hi,

Hi
I am looking at equipment at the moment. The metrel MI3125B looks like a great bit of kit, apart from one issue. The leads are connected via a non standard plug.
