Overview

The ABB Copper Two-Hole High Voltage Lug (SKU: 54482) is a precision-engineered compression connector designed for high-voltage electrical terminations up to 15 kV. Constructed from high-conductivity wrought copper and finished with electro tin plating, this lug ensures superior electrical performance and corrosion resistance in demanding industrial environments. The long-barrel design maximizes crimp surface area, delivering exceptional wire pull-out strength and long-term reliability. Engineered for 350 kcmil copper conductors, the lug features a 1/2-inch bolt size and 1-3/4-inch hole spacing for versatile mounting in high-voltage applications. The blind-end construction prevents corrosive ingress, while the integrated inspection window allows visual confirmation of full conductor insertion—a critical safety and performance check. The barrel is color-coded red (Die Code 71R) for compatibility with Panduit and specified competitor crimp tools, ensuring proper die selection for optimal termination. This lug is rated for 600V to 35kV applications and supports a temperature range up to 90°C when crimped with compatible tools. The two-hole design provides secure mechanical fastening, while the tin plating enhances conductivity and resistance to environmental degradation. For specific conductor stranding requirements, consult ABB Technical Services.

How to Install the 54482 High Voltage Terminal

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and crimping the 54482 high voltage terminal connectors safely and effectively.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Crimping tool, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

High voltage terminal connectors, Cable ties, Hose clamps

  1. Prepare the cable

    Train the cable into its final position and remove any excess cable from the end. Strip the cable jacket, shield, and insulation according to the specified strip length.

  2. Insert the conductor

    Insert the conductor fully into the connector barrel, ensuring it is seated properly.

  3. Crimp the connector

    Make the first crimp at the pad end of the barrel using the crimping tool. Crimp in overlapping steps toward the tapered end of the connector.

  4. Secure the connection

    To ensure the connector is round and to avoid flash and ridges, rotate the crimping tool 90 degrees and repeat the crimping process.

  5. Check the connection

    Use a multimeter to verify the integrity of the crimped connection. Ensure there are no signs of basketing or birdcaging.

  6. Finalize installation

    Secure the conductor with a hose clamp or cable tie next to the connector to prevent basketing or birdcaging before energizing the system.
