How much are Aluminium cables used in your
country?.
I had the task of connecting a 300mm2 3core+
Neutral with XLPE insulation, recently, at a Meat-works.
To say the least, it was a real job in itself, just to crimp the lugs onto the ends of the wires, these are filled with grease, to assist the crimp.
But, can anyone please tell me, if there is a manufactured form of acid or some other
chemical, that will remove the oxide layer
from the Al, before the crimp is made?, as
these wires are going to be carrying 400-600A, I would like to think that the oxide layer, has some resistance(electrically).
Any help on this, would be cool.
