CONDUCTOR PRETREATMENT
All kinds of copper conductors can be clamped without treatment. DO NOT solder tin stranded conductors. The solder yields
and fractures under high pressure. The result is increased contact resistance and excessive temperature rise. Additionally, corrosion
has been observed due to the fluxes. Notch fractures at the transition from the rigid tinned part to the flexible conductors are also
possible. Ferrules can be used as a protection when wiring stranded conductors. Copper ferrules prevent the current transfer from
being influenced by dissimilar metals and remove the risk of corrosion. Always use the correct tool to crimp the ferrule.
