Aluminum wire in a fuse box?
I usually do not see any aluminum wire in the ole style screw in type fuse boxes. In fact, I ran across my first one today. The home was built in 1968. Really late for a fuse box (based on what I usually see). All of the lower branch circuits/fuses had AL wire connected. I wondered if there is any known issue with this. The panel was fairly clean otherwise. The outlets and switches all appeared to be AL compatable.
There has been two other inspections on the property and the buyers backed out. Wish I had Ms. Roudolf (sorry for the Richard Prior reference) to tell me what was listed to scare away the other buyers.
Any comment would be appreciated.
