Question:
Can Aluminum wire be ran TO the breaker box in a modular home or does it half to be copper ????
William K
A
Answer:
Hey William thanks for your question. Yes, aluminum conductors are allowed. What you are calling a "modular home is probably included in the definition of Manufactured Home in 550.2. Aluminum conductors are not allowed to be used for branch circuit wiring as stated in the second sentence of 550.15 but this seems to be a modification of the general rule of the first sentence that only applies to mobile homes. Terminations must be identified for the conductor material as stated in 110.14.
