For those of you all that have wired and installed your own CV1800 Dust Collector:
I bought the pre-wired electrical box and the supplied whip is copper conductor, and the wires inside the motor terminal box are aluminum. Did you guys use any special kind of AL-CU butt connections or did you just lug it up and go? I don't think the wire lugs are even listed for the Al-Al connections inside the terminal box either. I have a feeling i'm overthinking this, but just wanted to make sure.
I was an electrician in the Navy for the better part of a decade. So I understand how to wire it up safely, just unsure about mixing metals.
Thanks,
Phil
