Overview

The ABB ABP 8350 C is a robust aluminum overhead transformer connector designed for reliable electrical connections in utility and industrial applications. Manufactured by ABB - Installation Products, this multi-tap connector features a set screw connection type, ensuring a secure and stable electrical path. Its primary construction material is aluminum, chosen for its excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, especially when paired with the included oxide inhibitor. This connector is engineered to accommodate a wide cable range, from #12 AWG to 350 kcmil, making it versatile for various conductor sizes encountered in overhead transformer installations. The unit provides eight distinct outlets, allowing for multiple connections from a single point, simplifying complex wiring configurations. The physical dimensions include a length of 8-5/8 inches and a stud size of 5/8 x 4 inches, providing ample surface area for connections and mounting. The ABP 8350 C is specifically designed for overhead transformer applications where durability and consistent electrical performance are paramount. Its set screw mechanism offers a straightforward and effective method for terminating conductors, minimizing installation time and potential for error. The inclusion of an oxide inhibitor is critical for aluminum conductors, preventing the formation of resistive oxides that can degrade connection integrity over time and lead to increased temperatures and potential failures. This connector is an essential component for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of overhead electrical distribution systems. SKU: ABP 8350 C. UNSPSC Code: 39121409.
