Tough Meter Tails.

I reused some old meter tails today, cira 1980s. Wow, did they bend easily. It was a delight to use them. Why oh why are modern meter tails so difficult to bend into shape. Is the copper harder? I even heard a meter installer complaining about how he hated trying to bend modern meter tails.


P.s. Is that why modern meter tails come loose so easily in main switch terminals if we just look at them? There is no "give". They are just so rigid.

  • Some of the internal tails made by some manufacturers are actually plaited fine stand cables covered in loose sleeving.
