Hello,
Is aluminum wire used today in branch circuits in new construction and is using COPALUM or AlumiConn connectors a proper fix for aluminum to copper connections? Thank you, John L
 
For 15 or 20 amp circuits do they actually make solid aluminum cables? For 40 or 50 amp 240 volt circuits aluminum SE cable is often used.
 
In my field (UK- over 40 years) we rarely used Al conductors. Over that period we couple just two anodiser systems, around 2.0 MW.
 
There are no 15 and 20 amp aluminum conductors on the market. There are copper-clad-aluminum 15 and 20 conductors and cables on the market,
