Wrong Aluminum and Copper Wire Connection in Electrical Wiring
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
What is the best way to make aluminum and copper connection in electrical wiring?
In this short electrical wiring tutorial, I will show you four ways, from worst to best, to connect aluminum and copper wires.
Aluminum and copper are completely different materials and connecting them directly could cause oxidation over time which can generate circuit fails, even fire if there is high consumption.
You can discover aluminum cable in old electrical wiring in your house, which I would recommend swapping co copper, but for a short period you can use the last two examples in my video pretty safely.

Very interesting to see that all of the connection above are wrong, never use aluminum and copper in these kind of connections.

Are those connectors rated for both aluminum and copper.

Last two for sure
I’m wiring something in my car that has a aluminum wire coming out of it, I need to lengthen the wire and was wondering if I can use come copper wire I have. From watching this a guess I can? Thx

Hi man, sorry for being late here. Sure, but I would definitely recommend using something that will separate direct contact between copper and aluminum.
QUESTION: Since the WAGO is a spring clamp it should be much better when Aluminum expands and contracts., The screw doesn't move. Comment?

Good question. Here is i better view over what is good and bad for aluminum wire connections kzread.info/dash/bejne/d56hx8pmmZOdmqQ.html
Wago and wire nut connectors clearly state “only for copper to copper connections” NEVER USE THESE FOR CONNECTING COOPER TO ALUMINUM!!!! Alumiconn connectors are expensive for a reason, they won’t burn your house down….

Are you sure Wago is not safe for Alu to Copper? Wires are not touching each other
WRONG! WAGO are not rated for aluminum and copper connections..

Really?
Don't do any of these. COPALUM or AlumiConn are the only acceptable connectors for aluminum to copper pigtails/connections.
