Overview

The ABB 60925 is a high-conductivity wrought aluminum reducing splice connector designed for reliable splicing of aluminum conductors to copper conductors of equal ampacities. This connector facilitates direct splicing between mixed metals, eliminating the need for additional adapters. It features a larger inner diameter port for 1 AWG aluminum cable and a smaller inner diameter port for 3 AWG copper cable. The electro-tin plated finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and ensures stable electrical contact. Each connector is pre-filled with an internal oxide-inhibiting joint compound (ALUMA-SHIELD®) to minimize connection resistance and prevent surface oxidation, ensuring long-term performance. The 60925 is color-coded gold, corresponding to die code 45, for easy identification and correct die matching during installation. It is suitable for aluminum and copper concentric conductors and compact code aluminum strandings. Rated for 90°C, 600V to 35kV applications, this connector is ideal for industrial, commercial, and utility environments. Its compact dimensions, with an overall length (A) of 2 3/8 inches and an end diameter (E) of 17/32 inches, allow for installation in confined spaces while maintaining mechanical strength and low contact resistance. The ABB 60925 is UL and CSA listed for stranded aluminum or stranded copper code cables, offering a versatile and dependable solution for mixed-metal wire splicing.

How to Install the 60925 Two-Way Reducing Splicer

Instructions for installing and connecting the 60925 two-way reducing splicer using aluminum or copper cables.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Wire brush or emery cloth, Crimping tool (specified in Table 1), Insulating tools (specified in Table 1)

Supplies needed:

ALUMA-SHIELD® Aluminum Joint Compound (if not pre-installed), Shrink tubing or adhesive pad (for insulation)

  1. Prepare the Cable

    Strip the insulation from the cable to the length specified in Table 1. Be careful not to nick the cable strands. Smear a thin layer of ALUMA-SHIELD® Aluminum Joint Compound on the cable. Use a wire brush or emery cloth to clean the cable through the compound to remove surface oxide.

  2. Insert Cable into Splicer

    WARNING: Do not remove compound from the splice barrel. Remove the protective caps from the ends of the splice barrel. Insert the prepared cable into the connector until it stops. The insertion length should approximate the stripped length of the cable.

  3. Crimp the Connection

    CAUTION: Using improper installing dies may result in a malfunctioning connection. Select the correct installing die and the required number of compressions as specified in Table 1. Insert the connector into the die and compress. Start crimping near the center of the connector and work towards the end. Repeat compressions as required.

  4. Finish and Insulate

    After crimping, remove any sharp edges, flashes, or burrs from the connection. Insulate the connection using the methods specified in Table 1, such as shrink tubing or an adhesive pad.
