Overview

The ABB Type HPS Split-Bolt Connector with Spacer (SKU 500HPS) is a heavy-duty electrical connector designed for reliable parallel conductor connections in overhead distribution systems. This connector accommodates equal main and tap conductor ranges of ACSR 397.5-1/0 and 500 kcmil-1/0 stranded conductors, as well as a minimum tap with one maximum main 1/0 stranded conductor. The tin-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-term conductivity and mechanical integrity. The split-bolt design allows for tool-free installation and easy re-tightening, making it ideal for maintenance operations. The integrated spacer maintains proper conductor spacing, reducing the risk of phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground faults. This connector is commonly used in utility pole installations, substations, and industrial overhead line applications where secure, low-resistance connections are critical. Compatible with standard ACSR conductors, the ABB 500HPS connector meets industry standards for mechanical and electrical performance. Its robust construction ensures stable performance under thermal cycling and vibration, minimizing downtime in critical infrastructure. For applications requiring durable, high-current parallel connections, the Type HPS Split-Bolt Connector delivers consistent, long-lasting performance.
