Abstract :
BECAUSE OF increasing interest in the use of aluminum in insulated cables, information has been needed concerning factors of importance in the design and application of fittings for terminating, tapping, and splicing insulated aluminum cables. Information also has been needed concerning the suitability of commercially available fittings for such conductors. Since 1948 many tests have been made of fittings on insulated aluminum cables of a wide range of sizes, in the Electrical Conductor Laboratory of Aluminum Company of America at Massena, N. Y.
