Installation Instruction Aluminium Conductor<\/h1>\n

When installing aluminium conductors, there are certain material properties that require special attention. Aluminium forms a solid oxide layer after only a short time. If this is not removed correctly during connection, the contact resistance increases. <\/p>\n

HORA eTec\u2019s plated terminal blocks are approved for use with aluminium conductors. A special coating ensures reliable and long-lasting contact between copper and aluminium conductors. This requires the aluminium conductors to be properly prepared and treated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Removing<\/span><\/div>

Step 1: Removing the oxide layer<\/h3>\n

The stripped end of the conductor must be carefully cleaned of the oxide layer by scraping, e.g. with a knife. Brushes, files or sandpaper must not be used, to ensure that no aluminium or iron particles remain or are transferred to other conductors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Greasing<\/span><\/div>

Step 2: Greasing the conductor<\/h3>\n

Immediately after removing the oxide layer, the end of the conductor must be coated with a neutral grease, e.g. acid- and alkali-free Vaseline. The cleaned and greased conductor must be connected to the terminal right away, before oxygen causes a non-conductive oxide layer to form again.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION (PDF)<\/span><\/a><\/div>

The aluminium conductor should only be installed by qualified personnel using suitable tools and in accordance with the relevant health and safety measures.<\/p>\n

These procedures must be repeated if the conductor has been disconnected and is being reconnected.<\/p>\n

Maintenance note:<\/strong>
\nThe specified torques must be checked at regular maintenance intervals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
