Aluminium and eddie currents



3 phase +N single core, insulated, aluminium conductors (2 sets in parallel) pass through an aluminium plate (conductors are approx 3" apart, 2 rows of 4 conductors). Can/will eddie currents be produced in the plate? There's arguments it will, because that's how the old mechanical electricity meters work (current and voltage coils influencing an aluminium disc), and anecdotal tales of aluminium bars shooting out of energised coils, compared to others saying no, because aluminium is non-ferrous?

  • Single core cables are normally glanded into Aluminium gland plates so if they can go through one cable to a hole they certainly should be able to go through all through the same hole.
