Overview

The ABB Installation Products PAA49 is a one-bolt aluminum parallel groove clamp designed for reliable electrical connections. This clamp is engineered to accommodate a wire range of 1/0 to 6 AWG ASCR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) for the main conductor. It also supports 1/0 to 6 AWG stranded aluminum or copper conductors for the main. For tap connections, the PAA49 is suitable for 1/0 to 6 AWG ASCR, as well as 1/0 to 6 AWG stranded aluminum or copper conductors. Each clamp is prefilled with an oxide inhibitor, a critical step to prevent oxidation and ensure long-term electrical integrity, especially when connecting dissimilar metals like aluminum and copper. This feature is essential for maintaining low resistance and preventing connection degradation over time in overhead power distribution and transmission applications. The robust aluminum construction provides good conductivity and corrosion resistance. SKU: PAA49. Manufacturer: ABB - Installation Products. UNSPSC Code: 39121449.
