Overview

ABB PowerTap Wedges (SKU: PT-79512) are engineered for high-current tap connections in industrial power distribution systems. These wedges provide a secure, maintenance-free joint for 795 kcmil conductors, supporting wire combinations from 795 AWG down to 2 AWG. Designed for compatibility with ABB’s PowerTap line, these wedges ensure consistent electrical performance in demanding environments where vibration, thermal cycling, and mechanical stress are common. The wedge design eliminates the need for torquing tools, reducing installation time and minimizing human error. Ideal for panelboards, switchgear, and motor control centers, these wedges are UL-listed for use in 600V systems and comply with NEC standards for safe, long-term operation. The compact design allows for tight spacing in crowded enclosures, while the tin-plated copper construction resists corrosion and oxidation. ABB’s PowerTap Wedges are a cost-effective alternative to traditional bolted taps, offering superior reliability without the complexity of mechanical fasteners. Suitable for both new installations and retrofits, these wedges simplify conductor transitions while maintaining electrical integrity.

Special Features
Low Stresses produced at interfaces precludes significant conductor creep and minimize loss of clamping force on connectors. Contact forces are nearly constant during temperature changes or conductor compaction. Driving action helps remove oxidation from conductor and lowers contact resistance. RUS Accepted
