- Abstract
- The report is a subjective and personal statement of the author's experiences and thoughts regarding electrical connections, in general, and aluminum wiring for homes, in particular. It is not a statement of official position of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). It is entirely possible that other members of the NBS staff may not agree with many statements made in this report. It is based on some considerable experience and, where the ideas expressed are not based on such experience, this is indicated. The author's conclusions are that present day technology of electrical distribution wiring in residences is not in keeping with good engineering practices available today. This is true relative to both copper and aluminum wiring.
