They came out with aluminum screw outlets and switches because the wire would spread and get loose over time under hard brass especially when heated under load. Maybe a copper lug add hydraulic crimper can squeeze hard enuf to prevent that?
OK so what is better? I tend to stick with copper.
Long run of fat wire I would be tempted to go aluminum to save a buck.
Same ampacity? Same resistance? Can copper plated aluminum hold a crimp? Does it need anti-oxidation compound?
