Overview

The ABB RCJ477 is an aluminum partial-tension distribution compression splice designed for 477 ACSR (18/1) wire. This splice is rated for partial-tension applications and features an 8-3/4 inch size, making it suitable for medium to large conductor installations. The compression design ensures reliable electrical continuity and mechanical strength, critical for distribution networks. Compatible with hydraulic dies B20AH, 318, and 15/16, the RCJ477 simplifies installation in the field. The aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and lightweight handling compared to steel alternatives. This splice is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, a trusted brand in electrical infrastructure solutions. Use the RCJ477 in overhead distribution systems where partial-tension splicing is required, such as tap connections or repair sections. The splice’s design accommodates the specified wire range without requiring full tension, reducing installation complexity. For projects requiring durable, low-maintenance splicing in aluminum conductors, the RCJ477 delivers consistent performance with minimal tools and training. Ordering Note: Verify die compatibility with your hydraulic tooling before installation. The RCJ477 is a direct replacement for applications where partial-tension splicing is specified, ensuring compatibility with existing ABB systems and industry standards.
