Home / Aluminum and copper wires in distribution boxes
Connecting an aluminum wire to a copper wire in a junction box is possible, but it must be done correctly to avoid potential hazards. Due to the dissimilar properties of these two metals, special precautions and approved connectors/methods should be used to ensure a secure and. Connecting aluminum and copper conductors is like a boxing match: in one corner is the resilient and inexpensive lightweight aluminum (Al). Distribution boxes are the nervous system of any electrical installation, silently managing the flow of power to every corner of your building. There is a common misconception that a distribution transformer with copper windings is in some way more efficient, more reliable, or has higher short-circuit strength when compared to a transformer with aluminum windings.
