Yup, cut a round hole in the top of mine and mounted a 6" muffin fan. It's no long 'rain proof' but I've never had any real hankering to use one in the rain anyway.
My rule of thumb was 15 amps or 1500 kva, whichever comes first. As for the terminals. I've seen those exact types on numerous pieces of military equipment back when I was in the service, I'm guessing they were OEM. P.s. they come in handy for electrolysis power supplies, for removing rust, etc. December 6, 2020 10:04 AM, "EVDL Administrator via EV" <[email protected]> wrote: > On 6 Dec 2020 at 8:04, Mr. Sharkey via EV wrote: > >> Not sure I'd be comfortable running 30 amperes through those five-way >> binding post terminals, though > > I wonder if those terminals were added by Fair Radio.
