This is a little off topic but pertains to AQ so.
How are Aluminum coils able to handle more power? Also, how is the pole desined to handle the expansion.
Aluminum vs Copper
Coefficient of Expansion per °C x 10-6 at 20°C 23 / 16.6
Thermal Conductivity BTU/ft/hr/fft2/°F at 20°C 126 / 222
Electrical Conductivity %IAS at 20°C 61 / 101
Tensile Strength ib/in2 (soft) 12,000 / 32,000
