[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7080758, member: 624844"] Aluminum cools faster but I thought part of the job for the former and the gap is to cool the coil? A heat conductive former will draw heat out of the coil and cooling vents for the gap, exhaust the heated air. Aluminum wiring in houses tends to burn, that's why they switched over sometime in the 70's for safety reasons. I would imagine you would have to have a lot heavier gauge aluminum to equal the power handling of copper? [/QUOTE]
