NOTICE
Cables General
All cabling must comply with national and local regulations on cable cross-sections and ambient temperature. Copper
(75 °C) conductors are recommended.
Aluminium Conductors
Terminals can accept aluminium conductors, but the conductor surface has to be clean and the oxidation must be removed
and sealed by neutral acid-free Vaseline grease before the conductor is connected.
Furthermore the terminal screw must be retightened after 2 days due to softness of the aluminium. It is crucial to keep the
connection a gas tight joint, otherwise the aluminium surface oxidises again.
