Overview

The ABB ATL2502 is a Type Aluminum Two-Hole Lug engineered for high-reliability electrical connections in medium-voltage power distribution and transmission systems. Rated for a maximum of 35kV, this lug accommodates wire sizes up to 250 kcmil, making it ideal for connecting conductors to busbars, equipment, or other termination points where robust and rated connections are required. Constructed from high-conductivity aluminum, the ATL2502 ensures long-term durability and efficient current transfer. The tin-plated finish provides superior corrosion resistance, critical for maintaining electrical integrity in harsh environmental conditions, including outdoor installations and industrial settings. The die color code is Red, which aids in quick identification and proper application within electrical systems, often correlating with specific wire sizes or voltage classes. Key specifications include a 1/2 inch bolt hole for compatibility with standard mounting hardware, ensuring secure installation. The lug supports a maximum amperage rating of 250A, as verified by ABB’s Electrification catalog (TNIA250XTGF2). This two-hole design enhances stability and reduces the risk of loosening under vibration or thermal cycling, a common challenge in power systems. Common applications include medium-voltage motor starters, transformers, switchgear, and distribution panels. The ATL2502 is particularly suited for copper-aluminum transitions, where it provides a reliable, low-resistance connection between dissimilar metals. Its oversized design accommodates a wide range of conductor sizes, reducing the need for multiple lug variants in a project. For medium-voltage systems requiring dependable terminations, the ABB ATL2502 delivers performance, durability, and ease of installation.

How to Install Aluminum Compression Lugs and Splices

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing Type ATL and ASP aluminum compression lugs and splices on stranded, compressed, compact aluminum and copper conductors.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Wire brush (e.g., T&B catalog number WWB1), Crimping tool, Crimping dies

Supplies needed:

Aluminum compression lugs or splices (Type ATL/ASP), Aluminum or copper conductors, Oxide inhibitor (if not pre-applied)

  1. Turn Off Power

    WARNING: ELECTRICAL HAZARD! Before beginning any work, ensure all power to the circuit is completely turned off to prevent electrical shock or injury.

  2. Verify Connector and Strip Cable

    Check the wire size marked on the aluminum connector to ensure it is the correct connector for the actual cable size. Carefully strip the cable insulation, avoiding damage to the conductor's strands.

  3. Brush Conductor

    Using a wire brush (such as T&B catalog number WWB1), thoroughly brush the conductor side that will be inserted into the connector to remove any oxidation.

  4. Insert Conductor into Connector

    Fully insert the prepared conductor into the aluminum compression connector until it bottoms out.

  5. Crimp the Connector

    Refer to the 'Tool and Die Index' to select the appropriate crimping tool and die combination for your specific cable size. Crimp the connector the number of times shown on the chart for your selected tool/die combination. For splices, make the first crimp just outside the knurl on each side of the center and space subsequent crimps uniformly along the splice. For lugs, make the first crimp at the inner end of the barrel and space crimps uniformly along the barrel.

  6. Clean Excess Inhibitor

    Wipe off any excess oxide inhibitor from the crimped connection.
