Joining Copper To Alloy Cables

[haveaniceday]

"Be aware that to avoid potential problems you need the proper connectors both to join the Cu to the Al and where the Al enters your incoming breaker."

Does anyone have any pics of these joiners?

In this case it is 16mm copper form the meter to 50mm Alloy

Thanks

Lots of other sizes on this page http://www.electricaldirectltd.co.nz/ecommerce.php?DPT=c&DCI=129

These chaps http://www.metroid.net.au/products2.php do a simpler product (likely cheaper). EDIT They do only seem to do giant sizes mind

Just spoke to Metroid in Oz, their quote below:-

10 x BMRL50/16 AU$ 31.50 each

Air bag to Bangkok AU$ 59.00

Probably explains why the locals don't use them
