Overview

The ABB RS8080 is a 4-1/2 inch aluminum service entrance compression splice designed for direct burial or overhead service entrance applications. This splice accommodates aluminum-to-copper conductor transitions with a wire range of 800-750 kcmil on both ends, ensuring compatibility with large cross-section conductors used in utility and industrial power distribution. The unit includes die 6030AH, which is optimized for the specified conductor range, providing a secure mechanical and electrical connection when installed with ABB’s certified compression tools. This splice is constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy to match the thermal and mechanical properties of aluminum conductors, reducing galvanic corrosion risks at the splice interface. The compression design eliminates the need for solder or tape, simplifying installation and improving long-term reliability in outdoor and underground environments. Typical applications include service entrance terminations, meter socket connections, and branch circuit splices in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations. The RS8080 meets NEC and UL requirements for service entrance equipment when used with approved conductors and installation methods. Always verify local electrical codes and conductor compatibility before installation.
