Solved Building Electrical Breaker Tripping.

[gsganzer]

On the inspection report of the new house I'm buying, they had 2 dings on the wiring to the well pump. The electrician had used oversized aluminum wire between the CB and the pump control box, due to the distance, which isn't an issue. The terminals on each end were listed for aluminum wire.
But:

1. They failed to use aluminum wire antioxidant paste on the wire ends.
2. They trimmed the number of strands so the wire would fit in the terminals

That's an impressive inspection.

I have aluminum wires to my house and the bottle of antioxidant that I used 20 years ago is still sitting on my shelf. A little goes a long way, and there is nothing else to use it on.
