When you wire a stove top with aluminum wiring can you do it with copper house wiring?
If you are asking can you connect aluminum wiring to copper wiring, the answer is yes. With one provision. You must cover the connection with a special compound prior to putting on the wire nuts. This compound is available at Lowe's and Home Depot and Ace.
When was aluminum wiring outlawed in mobile home manufacturing?
About 1976. The problem is that mobile homes are constructed with flimsier walls which will ignite when aluminum overheats. Copper can carry much more of a load than aluminum and therefore is safer.The real hazard with aluminum wiring is related more to bad connections and improperly completed electrical work. While aluminum wire cannot handle the flow of electrical current as well as copper, this is corrected by the use of a larger size of wire (as outlined in the CEC or NEC respectively). Therefore, assuming all other factors are taken into account, like correctly sized breakers and properly planned circuits, the wire itself will not have any issues with heating.However, the same cannot be said of wiring that was done with connectors and devices such as plugs and switches that are not rated for use with aluminum wiring.Bad connections caused by devices not rated for aluminum wiring or connectors that are not rated, can cause a poor electrical connection, which in turn will create heat. This in turn can cause wires to overheat and burn back from the bad connection and then potentially cause a fire.Through knowledgeable application of the correct strategies and materials, aluminum wiring is no different that copper wire. Both are subject to heating problems if not connected properly or sized correctly for its application.But, when installations are completed properly, these concerns are unfounded and aluminum wiring is no less safe than copper.
In a mobile home what would cause the house to start browning out and lights to flicker after 2 years of being fine?
Aluminum wiring in mobile homes often causes this problem. Also loose or corroded connections could be the cause. Power company transformer wire connections also corrode which can cause the problem. This is a potential fire hazard and should be checked immediately by a licensed electrician.
Why alumium does not conduct electricity?
Special care must be taken to properly maintain aluminum connections. Generally, aluminum connections are retightened at least once a year. Because this is not practical in homes, aluminum is no longer allowed for home wiring. It is largely true that most homes built with aluminum no longer exist . . . because they burned down!

What should you do if you have aluminum wiring in your electrical panel?
Two things are very important when using aluminum wire. First and most important is all connectors and connections must be rated for aluminum. You will see some version of AL/AL or CU/AL on or near terminal screws or in descriptions of connectors. If is says CU/CU or CU Only, then no aluminum should be connected there. (AL = aluminum; CU = copper). Second most important is all accessible terminations should be tightened at least once a year. Because this is not practical in homes, aluminum is no longer allowed in home wiring. I wish not to frighten you but it is largely true that most homes built with aluminum wiring don't exist any more . . . because they burned down! Special care must be taken to assure aluminum is maintained properly.
