    The wire run from the CC to busbar is now roughly 3ft, I'll leave it as is.

    Bill I finally got that Klein Tool clamp meter you recommended and it's awesome. It's definitely a must have item, thank you.

    I’ve found these tin plated copper sleeves to be useful when tightening fine stranded wire into screw down terminals. They make 3 sizes and come in 10 packs.

    Update: My system has been holding up nicely since over paneling the FM80, no problems to report.
