Joints and clamps for Aluminum conductors

Problems confront every electrical utility in maintaining existing connections in electric conductors, and in selecting from the many designs and materials available for new construction. Good mechanical characteristics of conductor joints and clamps can be assured by careful attention to design, selection of materials, and workmanship. The attainment of good and lasting electrical characteristics is evidently more difficult because most failures have been attributed to poor electrical conductivity. On an industry-wide basis, this problem warrants extensive research.
