400 build tricks

[grapplesaw]

I will start a new thread for my bridged 400 build this weekend. But here are a couple of things I have done

first I add two jumpers to the back of Don’s DCP board the use as the meter supply connection point. It uses the two unused terminals


the second may may not meet domes approval but I fashioned a new ground bar using copper hanger strap. I doubled it up and it worked well. I may solder them together if you think that would be best

Is it really copper? Most of those straps these days are copper plated steel.

Using that strap material is a great idea!
