b)
Remove the oxidation from the connection area of the aluminum conductor using a wire brush or other
abrasive means.
Figure 3-38 Preparing Aluminum Wires Prior to Connecting
c)
Immediately apply a UL listed oxide-inhibiting compound, such as Noalox.
d)
If the connection is not made within 30 seconds of applying the grease, repeat this process as an oxidized
layer may have formed on top of the conductor. This oxidized layer is a poorer conductor than the greased
aluminum.
e)
Terminate the conductor on the appropriate terminal and torque to the proper value as per Table 3-12.
NOTICE!
Use of Aluminum Conductors:
Special care must be taken when using aluminum conductors. Failure to
properly prepare and maintain aluminum conductors can result in overheating and property damage. Damage
caused by improper use of aluminum conductors will void the warranty.
