Q:The rules state that any amount of additional wire may be used, provided it is of proper gague or larger, and properly color coded. Must the conductors be copper?
A: Aluminum wire is not permitted. All the specifications are based on the use of copper wiring for all electrical connections.
Can anyone provide anything in the manual that explicitly mandates the use of copper wiring? If this is the rule it should be made clear in a team update.
