MX60. Fitting five #6's through the offset nipple was a little tight.

Junction box at the base of the tower. The big black wires are the 24 volt generator output. The small black and blue cables are for the anemometers and wind vane. The green block is an 8Y splitter.

I had a few extra feet of wire on the solar array output. So of course I needed to make a sweet 1kW @ 129 volt arc. The arc can pretty much be sustained forever since the solar panels are basically constant current devices and won't be harmed by the short circuit. Because the current is limited the circuit breakers in the array combiner won't trip.
