Suzanne, Your best bet is to use components that have been previously evaluated for field wiring, such as a UL Recognized terminal block for the + and - and a UL Listed pressure terminal connector for the protective earthing terminal; of course both have to be suitable for the 100 A and the wire gauge anticipated in the field. This way, you satisfy the North American component requirements and because there is no limit in the standard for a 100 A rating, most European and other worldwide test houses are likely to accept the US evaluated component.

Table 3E in 60950 only specifies sizes up to 63 A. Does anyone know how I go about sizing a terminal for the higher current?
