Transformer Secondary Spade Bushing Full

[Arentsch]

I've seen this done many times, but is this method acceptable for installing additional cables to an already full transformer secondary spade bushing?

Check your cable sizing calculation. 10 cables may be adequate after all, for the rated current.

The limiting factor on some of our transformers is the weight of cables putting bending stress on bushing.

They make stacked terminal lugs that allow stacking with the cables going the same direction. Limit might be the cable weight per bacon4life's post. Example at
