Overview

The ABB Installation Products PAC793 Parallel Groove Clamp (SKU: PAC793) is engineered for reliable electrical connections between aluminum and copper conductors. This clamp features a hex head bolt and is Contax filled to ensure optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. Designed for versatility, it accommodates a main conductor range from 3336 4-1/0 ACSR and 400 kcmil down to 2/0 STR, 1/0 AR. The tap conductor range is equally robust, supporting 1/0 STR down to 8 Solid Copper. Constructed from a combination of aluminum and copper materials, the PAC793 offers excellent electrical and mechanical properties for both main and tap lines. The parallel groove design provides a secure and stable connection, minimizing the risk of loosening under vibration or thermal cycling. The Contax filling is a critical feature, acting as an anti-oxidant and anti-seize compound that prevents oxidation at the conductor interface, thereby maintaining low resistance and ensuring long-term connection integrity. This is particularly important in overhead power distribution and transmission applications where conductor materials may differ.
