Overview

The ABB 54513 is a tin-plated copper two-way splice connector designed for reliable splicing of copper conductors in high-voltage industrial and utility applications. Rated for up to 35kV, this connector ensures secure and efficient connections for demanding electrical systems. It features a standard barrel design and is constructed from tin-plated copper, providing excellent corrosion resistance and conductivity. The 250 kcmil wire size accommodates large conductors, making it suitable for heavy-duty electrical installations. This splice connector is identified by a yellow die color code and die code 62, aligning with industry standards for electrical safety and performance. The catalog content indicates that similar Panduit connectors (e.g., LCC250-12W-X) are UL Listed and CSA Certified to 35kV and temperature rated to 90°C when crimped with specified tools and dies. These connectors also feature internal wire stops to prevent over-insertion and are tin-plated to inhibit corrosion. While specific tool and die compatibility for the ABB 54513 is not detailed in the provided excerpts, the presence of a die code (62) and color code (Yellow) suggests compatibility with tools and dies designed for this specification, often found in competitor catalogs. The product is part of ABB's Installation Products line, known for durable electrical solutions. This connector is ideal for applications requiring robust, high-voltage splicing of stranded copper conductors.

How to Install the T&B Copper Color-Keyed Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the T&B Copper Color-Keyed Connector safely and effectively.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush or emery cloth

Supplies needed:

T&B Copper Color-Keyed Connectors, Insulation cover shrink tubing

  1. Prepare the cable

    Strip the insulation from the cable to a length of 1-1/8 inches, being careful not to nick the strands.

  2. Clean the cable end

    Ensure the cable end is clean. Use a wire brush or emery cloth if necessary to remove any dirt or oxidation.

  3. Insert and crimp the connector

    Insert the cable into the connector until it stops. Use the appropriate die in the crimping tool and compress the connector between the markings, starting near the center.

  4. Remove sharp edges

    After crimping, carefully remove any sharp edges, flash, or burrs from the connector to ensure safety.

  5. Insulate the connection
