Why are the electrical posts crammed in so it's necessary to have the worlds smallest hand to use them! Sorry for a rant but I hate using it. Now that I run all DCS I would definitely use just the bricks but too late. Again forgive my rant but this has been a pain in the........oh you know.

radar49,

The cure is to put Banana plugs on your ZW, works like a charm.

Yeah, I may end up doing that. Truthful don't mess with it much but when I have to it's a pain and connections loosen if you move the unit or wires once connected.

Radar, best bet is to use banana plugs to a terminal strip positioned at an easy to get at location.

Try using crimp-on ring or U lugs.

Makes it way easier.

I like to use "U" lugs (Spade terminals).

Or come of the ZW on time to a terminial strip, bad thing is you will need one for each hot & you can combine the common to one strip.
