How to Install APS Series Aluminum Dual Rated Split Bolt Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing APS Series aluminum dual-rated split bolt connectors, ensuring proper conductor preparation, placement, and torque for a secure electrical connection. This product must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Estimated time: 15m
Tools needed:
Wire strippers, Wire brush, Torque wrench
Supplies needed:
Approved oxide inhibitor
- Disconnect Power and Prepare Wires
WARNING: RISK OF SHOCK. ALWAYS DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE circuit before beginning installation. Strip the insulation from the wire ends. For aluminum conductors, use a wire brush to thoroughly clean the conductor surfaces to remove any oxides.
- Apply Oxide Inhibitor
Apply an approved oxide inhibitor to the cleaned aluminum conductors. This step is crucial for preventing future oxidation and ensuring a reliable, low-resistance electrical connection.
- Insert Conductors into Connector
Carefully insert the copper conductor into the connector, ensuring it is positioned under the internal spacer. Then, insert the aluminum conductor into the connector, ensuring it is positioned on top of the spacer. Verify that both conductors are fully inserted and make full contact with the spacer's surface, maintaining separation between copper and aluminum.
- Torque the Connector
Using a calibrated torque wrench, tighten the connector bolt to the specific torque value corresponding to the conductor size. Refer to the product's torque table for precise values (e.g., 8 AWG: 80 lbs-in, 6, 4 AWG: 165 lbs-in, 2, 1 AWG: 275 lbs-in, 1/0, 2/0 AWG: 385 lbs-in, 4/0 AWG: 500 lbs-in, 350 kcmil: 650 lbs-in, 500 kcmil: 825 lbs-in). Ensure the connection is secure but do not overtighten.
