Sometimes and, as a rule, at repair when it is necessary to repair or carry out conducting, there is a need of connection of wires. Conducting in apartments and houses is copper and aluminum and sometimes masters do not know how to join these two metals.
Instruction
1. At once it should be noted that simple twist copper and aluminum cannot be connected and in particular in those places where loading will be too big (many lighting or household appliances). Contacts in such twist will constantly heat up and burn, and respectively similar connection long will not live. that's right!connectionsWith aluminum make a number of the following actions for copper .
2. Carry out conducting, having allocated places of connections. Prepare special terminals which can be bought in any hardware store.
3. Cut off power the apartment or the house, tension should not go on wires to operating time. Put on rubber gloves and start compound of copper with aluminum. At the same time you remember that these types of wires should not adjoin among themselves at all.
4. Bare wires, that is exempt them from isolation by means of special pieces, approximately, on 1-1.5 cm. In case wires single-core, with them any actions it is not necessary to make if the wire has several veins, then they need to be connected among themselves twist and the subsequent soldering by rosin and gumboil.
5. Take terminals and weaken the screws which are available there. Insert at first one wire and clamp it, having twirled the corresponding screw, later insert another and make the same actions on a clip. At the same time, if it is necessary to insert several wires, then at first all wires of one type, for example, copper, and after all wires of another connect (aluminum). It is necessary to insert a wire at length all bared, cleaned from protection.
6. Clamping a wire in the terminal, you remember, it has to be reliably fixed, should not be unsteady or be taken out freely without untwisting of the screw. From that, how correctly and qualitatively you will perform works, first of all, your safety and safety of your children will depend. Attention! Check before insertion of a wire in the terminal whether there is a special connecting steel washer there.
