Aspects of Aluminum Wires and Their Details of
Usages

Electricity is transmitted from stations
generating power is subsequently transferred end
customers in residential and commercial meters.
During the very inception, the aluminum wires
were used for proper conduction of the
electricity for more than a century. Only one
pound of aluminum was required to conduct the
formidable current capacity. In the case of
copper wiring, it required two pounds of metal to
carry the similar amount of current.
The utility systems which were built to run the
electrical transmissions and also the electrical
conductors have a variety of types. Before the
year 1972, the aluminum wires were built to
conform to the alloy series of 1350.

This was not suitable for the branch type system
of the electrical circuits. With the advent of
new technology at this juncture, the aluminum
wires were developed, which are known as the
AA-800. This system was extremely compliant with
the requirement of the branch based circuit
system of the electricity.
How to Upgrade Your Homes Systems to the
Aluminum Circuitry

• Make sure that the electrical and the appliances
  are certified for being used with the aluminum
  circuit system.
• The specifications must have the tag of CO and
  ALR certification.
• The aluminum wires must be pigtailed with a short
  length of copper to ensure the maximum safety of
  the residents of the home.

How the Aluminum Wires Work
When aluminum was first used in the very branch
of the circuit wiring, it was not installed
differently than the copper wires. Since the
usage of the copper wires increased during the
era of nineteen sixty, the aluminum wires became
more popular for the purpose of residential
wiring. Aluminum wires require a larger gauge
than the copper wires to carry the similar amount
of power.

For instance, a fifteen-ampere circuit breaker
when wired with a fourteenth number gauge of
copper wire, the same amount of power requires a
twelve gauge aluminum wire. From typical wire
connections to a variety of electrical devices,
known as the terminals, aluminum wires are used
for wrapping the wires up through the very back
area of the outlet. Over the time, many of the
terminations to the aluminum wires begin to fail
because of the improper connecting techniques. As
a result, a good amount of heat is generated,
overloads occur, and the connections break.
