Overview

The ABB CSP400 Type Copper Splice is a short-barrel compression connector engineered for high-voltage copper conductor applications up to 35kV. Rated for 400 kcmil wire size, this splice delivers reliable electrical connections in medium-voltage distribution systems, including utility, renewable energy, and industrial power distribution projects. The tin-plated copper construction ensures corrosion resistance and long-term conductivity, critical for outdoor and industrial environments where exposure to moisture and contaminants is common. Designed for compatibility with standard compression tools from Blackburn®, Burndy®, T&B®, and Anderson, the CSP400 features a blue die color code for quick identification during installation. Its short-barrel design minimizes material usage while maintaining mechanical strength and current-carrying capacity, making it ideal for confined spaces such as switchgear, transformers, and junction boxes. The specially chamfered barrel simplifies installation, reducing labor time and ensuring consistent performance. This splice is suitable for use with copper conductors including AWG stranded, flexible cable, welding cable, and portable cord. It complies with Subpart 111.60-17 of the Federal Register's Coast Guard Electrical Engineering Rules and Regulations, ensuring reliability in demanding applications. The CSP400’s compact form factor and high-conductivity seamless copper tubing provide secure, low-resistance connections, making it a dependable choice for medium-voltage systems requiring long-term performance under cyclic loading.
