jimmutello - Hi! Thanks for this topic, I'm interested to know the details...

sasha1 - Oh, that's why I never undertake to do repairs myself. It seems to me that in such cases when the price of a mistake is a human life. It would be easier to determine how to help you if you attached a photo, but I think it will be problematic for you. I advise you to call a specialist. It's impossible to make a good repair if you don't have an education. A good electrician will tell you how to fix the situation. Or maybe the fact is that you chose the wrong material for wiring? I found an article on https://www.tidalelectricalservices.com/service/aluminum-wiring-mitigation/ and it said that aluminum wiring is extremely dangerous. If something doesn't work well for you, then a fire is possible.
