Overview

The ABB CS78 is a 2-inch service entrance compression splice designed for reliable electrical connections. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, this splice is engineered for aluminum-to-aluminum (AL-AL) or aluminum-to-copper (AL-CU) conductor applications. It accommodates a wire range of 1/0 ASCR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) and 1/0 Stranded conductors on both End A and End B. The yellow color coding indicates its specific application and wire size compatibility. The required die for installation is 5/8 inch, ensuring a secure and permanent crimp. This component is crucial for establishing robust connections in service entrance applications where conductor integrity is paramount. The CS78 facilitates efficient and safe power distribution, meeting the requirements for connecting service entrance cables. Its construction from aluminum ensures compatibility with aluminum conductors, preventing galvanic corrosion and maintaining conductivity. The specific die size ensures proper compression for optimal electrical performance and mechanical strength. SKU: CS78. UNSPSC Code: 39121449.
