Control panels - connecting different sized wires

Hello All,

I usually work with low-current electronics, however we have a sideline in making motor drive systems. It's usually the case that the main phase inputs need to be spurred off (with suitable fusing of course) to power low-current items like fans and 24V PSUs. Usually this can be done with DIN rail terminals, for example the Weidmuller PDU6/10 can take a 10mm. sq. wire. The terminal can then be cross-connected to another, where a 1.5mm wire can attach.  However, what to do when the phase cables get larger and the size difference is greater than a terminal can accomodate?  We could daisy-chain down through a series of terminals but this seems inelegant. Is there a way this is commonly done in control panels?

Thanks,

John.
