. Can I use a Type 3R rated SolaDeck enclosure to combine PV strings? The Type 3R SolaDeck enclosure is not listed or labeled to meet the standard for combining PV strings. There are SolaDeck models that are rated, listed, and labeled to the UL1741 standard for combining. . How is a SolaDeck Type 3R enclosure typically used? The Type 3R rated SolaDeck models are listed for outdoor use and typically are being used for simple pass through of the wire or a junction box for transition of wire. . What is best way to transition the PV wire with a SolaDeck? Wire nuts can be used but rail mounted terminal blocks are rapidly becoming the method of choice. Terminal blocks are non-fused connection devices that provide a visibly clean installation for easy labeling. ************************* -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ray Walters Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 3:10 PM To: RE-wrenches Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Enphase and Romex Thanks Benn, I've also never seen anyone switch to UF, just to wire to an exterior outlet mounted directly on an exterior wall of a home. Further, the box is usually indoor rated(if it's in the wall) and only the exterior cover plate is weather proof. Both UF and NM have THHN inside of them, and it's the THHN that is inside the exterior J box, as the weatherproof covering has been stripped off. THHN is damp rated, while THWN is wet rated. Most of that wire is actually dual rated THHN/THWN. Seems to be yet another case where solar is held to a different standard than other wiring.
