Overview

ABB Installation Products ABC 8500 Aluminum Set-Screw Bar Pedestal Connectors provide a reliable termination solution for single-line bar applications in industrial and commercial electrical systems. Designed for cable ranges from 6 AWG to 500 MCM, these connectors accommodate a wide variety of conductor sizes commonly found in power distribution, motor control centers, and switchgear assemblies. The ABC 8500 features eight outlets, allowing for efficient branching of conductors while maintaining secure mechanical and electrical connections. Constructed from durable aluminum, the connector ensures long-term corrosion resistance and stable performance in demanding environments. The 8-1/16-inch length provides adequate clearance for proper installation and heat dissipation. Compatible with ABB Boot BB 14 (sold separately), these connectors enhance environmental protection and mechanical strain relief when used with appropriate boots. The set-screw design allows for tool-free installation, reducing labor time while ensuring consistent torque application. These connectors meet industry standards for electrical conductivity and mechanical integrity, making them suitable for use in NEC-compliant installations.
