What are the sizes of the insulated tails?

Troubleshooting

No power to connected appliance.

Verify that the main power supply is active. Check all connections within the junction box and at the appliance for tightness. Ensure the circuit breaker or fuse for this circuit is not tripped or blown.

Overheating at connection points.

Immediately disconnect power. Check that connections are made correctly and are fully tightened. Ensure the correct size of cable glands and terminals are being used for the installed cable diameters.
