[RE-wrenches] 90 degree wire bends

Some electricians have great fun in making 90 degree wire bends to try and make their enclosure wiring look so purdy. Given the importance of maintaining wiring radiuses, this can't be a good idea, can it? Is the issue greater resistance when the wire is bent at a straight 90 degrees (or

Re: [RE-wrenches] 90 degree wire bends
