Overview

The ABB 60925 Aluminum Reducing Splice Connector is a high-conductivity wrought aluminum connector engineered to splice 1 AWG aluminum wire to 3 AWG copper wire in 90°C, 600V to 35kV applications. This reducing connector features a smaller inner diameter port for copper conductors and a larger inner diameter port for aluminum conductors, enabling direct splicing between mixed metals without additional adapters. The electro-tin plated finish provides corrosion resistance and stable electrical contact, while the internal oxide-inhibiting joint compound (ALUMA-SHIELD®) minimizes connection resistance and prevents surface oxidation. The connector is color-coded gold (die code 45) for easy identification and correct die matching during installation. Designed for aluminum and copper concentric conductors and compact code aluminum strandings, the 60925 supports stranded conductors and is UL and CSA listed for stranded aluminum or copper cables. With a maximum temperature rating of 90°C, this connector is ideal for industrial, commercial, and utility applications requiring reliable mixed-metal wire splicing. The compact dimensions (2 3/8" A x 17/32" E) allow installation in tight enclosures while maintaining mechanical strength and low contact resistance. Suitable for splicing aluminum conductors to copper conductors of equal ampacities, the 60925 simplifies wiring projects by eliminating the need for separate copper-to-aluminum transition fittings.

How to Install the 60925 Reducing Splicer

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 60925 reducing splicer, ensuring a secure and safe electrical connection.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, ALUMA-SHIELD® Aluminum Joint Compound, Terminal connectors

  1. Prepare the cable

    Strip the insulation from the cable to the length specified in Table 1, ensuring not to nick the cable strands.

  2. Apply joint compound

    Smear a thin layer of ALUMA-SHIELD® Aluminum Joint Compound on the cable and clean the cable surface with a wire brush or emery cloth to remove any surface oxide.

  3. Insert the cable

    Remove protective caps from the splice barrel and insert the cable into the connector until it stops, ensuring the insertion length matches the stripped length of the cable.

  4. Crimp the connector

    Insert the connector into the appropriate crimping die and compress it according to the specifications in Table 1, starting near the center and working towards the end.

  5. Clean up

    After crimping, remove any sharp edges, flashes, or burrs from the connection to ensure safety.

  6. Insulate the connection

    Insulate the connection using the methods specified in Table 1, ensuring a secure and safe finish.
