Overview

The ABB 54823BS Copper Two-Way Splice is a high-voltage electrical connector designed for secure, gas-tight connections in copper conductor applications up to 750 kcmil. Rated for 35 kV, this splice is engineered for medium to high-voltage power distribution, transmission, and industrial electrical systems where reliability and durability are critical. The long barrel-bell shaped end maximizes conductor engagement, minimizing resistance and preventing overheating in demanding environments. Constructed from high-conductivity wrought copper and finished with electro tin plating, the 54823BS offers superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for harsh conditions including coastal areas, industrial plants, and outdoor installations. This splice is part of ABB Installation Products’ trusted line of connectors, known for precision engineering and adherence to stringent industry standards. Key applications include substations, switchgear, renewable energy installations, and other critical infrastructure where high-voltage copper conductor connections are required. The splice’s tin-plated finish enhances longevity in corrosive environments, and its color-coded system simplifies identification and tooling selection. Compatible with ABB’s hydraulic and battery-operated crimping tools (e.g., TBM6H, BPLT6BSCR), the 54823BS delivers consistent, repeatable results for professional installations.

How to Install the 54823BS Two Way Splicer

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 54823BS Two Way Splicer for 600V applications, ensuring a secure and reliable electrical connection.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

54823BS Two Way Splicer, Cable, Shrink tubing, Insulation materials

  1. Prepare the cable

    Strip the insulation from the cable to the specified length using wire strippers. Ensure not to nick the cable strands.

  2. Clean the cable ends

    Clean the ends of the cable using a wire brush or emery cloth to ensure a good connection. Insert the cable into the 54823BS splicer until it stops.

  3. Crimp the connector

    Place the connector in the crimping tool and compress it between the markings, starting near the center. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the number of compressions required.

  4. Inspect the connection

    After crimping, inspect the connection for any sharp edges, flash, or burrs, and remove them as necessary.

  5. Insulate the connection

    Apply shrink tubing or other insulation methods as specified to ensure the connection is protected from environmental factors.

  6. Test the connection

    Use a multimeter to verify the integrity of the connection and ensure it is functioning correctly before powering the system.
