3.3. Electrical Installation
NOTE
Cables General
All cabling must comply with national and local regulations on cable cross-sections
and ambient temperature. Copper (140°-167° F [60°/75° C]) conductors are rec-
ommended.
Aluminum Conductors
Terminals can accept aluminum conductors, but the conductor surface must 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 two days due to the softness of the
aluminum. It is crucial to keep the connection a gas-tight joint, otherwise the aluminum surface
will oxidize again.
