Overview

The ABB ICS78-1 is a high-performance aluminum compression splice engineered for reliable aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper conductor connections in service entrance applications. This splice accommodates a wire range from 1/0 ASCR to 1/0 stranded conductors, ensuring compatibility with common utility and industrial wiring systems. The 2-25/32 inch length provides sufficient overlap for secure compression, while the 5/8 inch die ensures proper crimping force distribution. The yellow color coding indicates compatibility with 1/0 AWG conductors, streamlining identification in the field. Constructed from high-conductivity aluminum, the ICS78-1 is optimized for thermal and electrical performance in both outdoor and indoor environments. It features solid center barriers and large chamfers for easy cable insertion, reducing installation time and improving long-term reliability. The splice is prefilled with oxide inhibitor to prevent oxidation and moisture ingress, ensuring durable connections in harsh conditions. Designed for service entrance applications, the ICS78-1 complies with ANSI C119.4 when properly installed on aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductors. Typical applications include residential and commercial service entrance wiring, meter sockets, and branch circuit connections where aluminum conductors are prevalent. The compression design eliminates the need for soldering or mechanical fasteners, minimizing heat generation and power loss in high-current circuits. For copper-to-aluminum transitions, proper anti-oxidation compound application is recommended to prevent galvanic corrosion.
