Overview

The ABB 3655 is a 2-inch grounding wedge designed for secure electrical grounding applications. Manufactured by ABB - Installation Products, this component is specifically engineered for use with Rigid and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems. The wedge is constructed from durable bronze, a material known for its excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable performance in various industrial settings. To further enhance its protective qualities and ensure broad compatibility, the bronze wedge is finished with a tin plating. This plating offers an additional layer of corrosion resistance and facilitates a low-resistance electrical connection, crucial for effective grounding. This grounding wedge is a vital component for maintaining electrical safety and system integrity. Its primary function is to establish a robust ground connection for conduit systems, preventing the buildup of static electricity and providing a safe path for fault currents. The 2-inch size is optimized for standard conduit diameters, ensuring a precise fit and secure installation. The tin plating on the bronze body contributes to its longevity and consistent electrical performance over time, even in environments where moisture or corrosive elements may be present.
