Hard wired Surge Protector wire strippers?

Hi,

I have just purchased the Progressive Industries EMS-HW50C surge protector.
I am going to cut the power cord and I need to know what wire strippers (size?) I would need to strip the wires?
Stock power cord (2007 Tiffin Allegro Open Road 32ba (50A))

thanks
Paul
  • Are they making strippers for #6 wires?
    I have universal stripper that catches and strip the wire in single action, but #6 will not fit in it.
    I think #10 is max.
    Go back to knife.

    Find an excuse to go buy a new tool....:)
  • I would NOT cut the power cord. I would buy a short 3 ft or whatever length of the appropriate wire to tie in the SP and leave the cord the original length.

  • I just use my pocket knife when wire stripping.
    Course I've been doing that for 45+ yrs

    50A power cord......wire should be #6
