Overview

The ABB AC30 is an 8-inch full-tension aluminum distribution compression splice designed for 3/0 AWG conductors (7-strand or 19-strand). Engineered for reliable electrical connections in overhead and underground distribution systems, the AC30 ensures consistent performance with its full-tension compression design. Compatible with multiple mechanical dies (BY35, W-247, 781) and hydraulic dies (B74AH, 247, 781), this splice provides versatility for field installations. The aluminum construction resists corrosion and maintains conductivity over time, making it ideal for long-term service in utility and industrial applications. Installation requires standard compression tooling, and the splice is suitable for both new construction and maintenance projects. The AC30 meets industry standards for mechanical strength and electrical continuity, ensuring compliance with utility specifications.
