What is the largest stranded wire size accepted by MNEPV breaker terminal clamps?
16mm2 is fine, never tried bigger. The size of the terminal interior is 7mm x 7mm square. Sorry for the metric. (not really!).

Quite all right. I'm a yank, mate, but have lived abroad for going on 15 years. All I know is metric, anymore. :D
One Reseller's site states that the MNEPV single width breakers (up to 63 Amp rated), accept #14 AWG through #6 AWG -- may need to select Circuit Protection, then MNEPV ... :

The double-wide MNEPV DIN Rail breakers accept up #2 AWG, as stated on the MN Solar site:

Sorry, here, we are inch/foot/miles (apart from the "rest" of the world).

16mm2 would be about #6 AWG, iffin' I'm koreck, sir. :D
I just can't walk into an electrical supply store here and ask for anything in AWG. If I did - if they could speak English in the first place, they would look at me as though I were nuts. :D
