Overview

The ABB BolTap Wedge (SKU: A-4060) is a reusable mechanical tap designed for rapid installation of conductors in industrial and utility applications. Installation requires only a hammer and wrench, eliminating the need for specialized tools or power equipment. This wedge tap accommodates multiple conductor combinations, including 397-397 or 500, 477-366/350/397/477/500, and 500-366/397/500, as well as 566-336/350/397/500, providing flexibility for common conductor sizing in power distribution systems. The wedge design ensures a secure mechanical connection with consistent clamping force, reducing the risk of loosening over time compared to traditional bolted taps. The product is designed for temporary or permanent installations where conductor access is limited, such as in overhead line taps, substation connections, or industrial power panels. Its removable and reusable feature allows for adjustments or reconfiguration without damaging conductors, making it ideal for maintenance or upgrade scenarios.
