Overview

The ABB Q 1 U 55 Uninsulated Aluminum Service Entrance Compression Splices are engineered for reliable aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductor connections in service entrance applications. These splices feature a 1/2 inch die series compression design, ensuring secure, low-resistance joints critical for electrical distribution systems. The blue and green color-coded conductors simplify identification and installation, reducing the risk of miswiring. Specifically, Conductor A is designated by the color Blue and is designed to accommodate 4 AWG Solid or 6 AWG Stranded conductors. Conductor B is designated by the color Green and is designed to accommodate 6 AWG Solid or 8 AWG Stranded conductors. These splices are compatible with ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) conductors. For Conductor A, the splice is compatible with 6-6/1 ACSR. For Conductor B, the splice is compatible with ACSR conductors in the 6 AWG Solid and 8 AWG Stranded ranges. Constructed from high-quality aluminum, these splices are built for durable performance in outdoor and indoor environments. The compression connection method delivers consistent mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, meeting industry standards for service entrance applications. The Q 1 U 55 is ideal for utility, commercial, and industrial installations where reliable conductor splicing is essential.
