Here is an update of what I have done. I checked the voltage drop - it was 1/2 to 3/4. I cut one of the ends off and removed the wire. I heated the end up until it was cherry red and then left it cool. I managed to hammer in a drift pin. It cracked slightly but I don't think it will matter...

I like your plan. I never thought about annealing the copper to make it soft. I will be trying out your plan this weekend. Thanks for the help.

No, I did not fix this as yet. Lenco wants $300 for new cables. That's a little more than I want to spend. A guy on a welding forum recommended cutting it off and brazing a welding cable connector to it. I also thought about getting a copper rod and making a new end. Any other thoughts...

Just gathering thoughts on how to repair my Lenco Panelspotter. Where the cable is swedged into the end, it has broken about 1/4 of the way through the wire. I was thinking of cutting it off and bolting a lug to it. Cable is 4/0. Any thoughts on the repair of this item would be helpful...

Just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to reply to my questions. Your information was very valuable to me and did answer all my questions. Thanks again.

Correction isolated the neutral not ground bus.

Power is from house panel.

Their is a 12/2 uf wire in the same conduit for a outside garage light controlled at the house . Is that allowed by code?

I currently have SER cable in 2 inch conduit running 90 feet to a garage sub panel. I would like to replace it with 2-2-2-4 MHF or HHW-2. Which would be the better choice? I currently have a 200 amp panel in my house with a 70 amp breaker to the garage. The garage has a 100 amp main breaker...
