Ah! "Aluminum wire is unsuitable for use in enclosed, thermally unmanaged situations where it might have to carry sustained currents above specification. Especially where later addition of building insulation, long after wiring certification, might worsen heat removal."
Yes, true. Copper is better there. But it's irrelevant to wind turbines, EVs, BESSs, and power transmission.
- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoAluminum wiring is still useless, because slightest defect will cause it to oxide and fall apart, especially when you have smaller diameter, and that's the reason why it is not used and won't be used. You can continue to live in your fantasy world, where aluminum is used widely, I am coming from there, we are ripping it from walls and replacing it with copper.
