Have to agree on ring terminals. Especially when used bolting them together or on studs in motor connections. I have seen people try and use big blue wire nuts on 50 HP motors that vibrate while in service. That just is not the proper place for wire nuts. Shoot, I even use ring terminals on 12 awg motor leads in 1 hp motors with #10 screws bolting them together wrapped in rubber & tape accurse. I try to save wire nuts for residential stuff, it has no place in a industrial application except for lights and receptacles, Maybe. I'm done ranting about wire nuts...
