An Electrical Warning

[Bocephus123]

It's still allowed in some circumstances but must use the connectors ratel AL/CU. It's perfectly safe if the connection is performed correctly

I know pso uses it. i thought you couldn't use in residential since the 70's maybe im wrong.

When we built our barn, maybe 5-6 years ago, our main was aluminum. Not saying it’s what is/was used in houses but that’s what I bought from our electric service company.

Back in 90s, I had a crew doing instrument repair and recalibration. All of us carried a pager. Going into the refineries and some other plants, no pagers were allowed.
I made the techs put the pagers on vibrate and in their pocket.

Would wait until one was calibration a 1000v meter and dial his pager. Had several screwdrivers stuck in ceilings.
