Aluminum Alloy Cable Terminations: Connection Checks That Matter

Loose connections and overheated terminals are expensive problems in power distribution. Aluminium conductors require careful attention to the conductor alloy, connector rating, surface preparation and tightening method. Creep and thermal cycling are part of that design discussion, but changing the cable alloy alone does not guarantee a sound termination. Start with the termination system specified

A good aluminum alloy cable manufacturer will tell you the same, and the trouble, when there is any, shows

But copper is heavy and its price can swing wildly, and for large cables those two facts add up to serious cost. That’s why aluminum alloy cable has become a mainstream choice for feeders, services, and
