Overview

The ABB 54518NS (SKU: 54518NS) is a high-conductivity copper two-way tap splice designed for robust electrical connections in high-voltage applications up to 35kV. This splice features a short barrel with no end stop, facilitating flexible installation. Constructed from high-conductivity copper alloy, it is electro-tin plated to ensure superior corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity. The 54518NS is rated for a maximum conductor size of 500 kcmil for both main and tap conductors, with a wire diameter range of 0.575 to 0.815 inches. It is UL Listed for copper and copperweld wires and meets UL486A/B and UL486D specifications, including direct bury suitability. The brown color coding and die code 87 (as indicated by the manufacturer's catalog for similar aluminum splices, and inferred for this copper splice based on common industry practices and the provided catalog context for related products) aid in easy identification and proper tooling selection. This splice is suitable for copper to copper connections. The catalog data indicates that copper split bolts are made of high-copper alloy for copper and copperweld wires and are UL listed. While specific torque values for this exact copper splice are not detailed in the provided excerpts, the N-Series copper split bolts list recommended torque values, with larger sizes like N-500 requiring 825 in. lbs. The ABB 54518NS is a dependable choice for critical tap splicing in power distribution and industrial electrical systems where durability and conductivity are paramount.
