For connecting aluminium Step 4: conductors, the following work steps must be observed: One day later, check the connected conductors to ensure that they are firmly seated, and if necessary, check the Step 1: torque. The surface of the aluminium conductor should be cleaned to remove any dirt and, above all, the oxide layer. Step 5: The connection points must be monitored with recurrent Step 2: inspections of the entire switchgear. It is expedient, Immediately after removing the oxide layer, the clean con- for example, to use thermographic images or resistance ductor surface is coated using an acid- and alkaline-free measurements for monitoring purposes. grease such as technical vaseline (e.g. contact protection paste P1 made by Pfisterer). This prevents the formation of a new layer of oxide.
