Overview

The ABB SDK 6 Copper Flood-Seal Compression Non-Fused Kit delivers a reliable, weatherproof in-line splicing solution for street and highway lighting systems. Engineered for copper conductors ranging from 14-10 AWG stranded to 14-8 AWG solid, this single-housing kit ensures a mechanically secure and electrically efficient termination without the need for fusing. The radiating rib design optimizes heat dissipation, while the prefilled oxide inhibitor prevents oxidation and moisture ingress. Compact construction allows installation in tight spaces, accommodating up to 4/0 AWG cable in just 10 inches using UT 3 M or UT 3 tools. The kit includes a copper compression connector and a Flood-Seal cover, both designed for outdoor durability. Its sealed connection resists environmental contaminants such as water, dust, and UV exposure, ensuring long-term performance in harsh conditions. The copper construction provides high conductivity and corrosion resistance, critical for maintaining consistent illumination in roadway lighting applications. The single-housing design simplifies installation by combining the connector and cover into one unit, reducing assembly time and potential errors. The prefilled oxide inhibitor remains active throughout the connector’s lifespan, maintaining low resistance and preventing degradation over time. The radiating ribs enhance thermal management, reducing the risk of overheating in high-load scenarios. The kit’s compact size and tool compatibility with UT 3 M or UT 3 tools make it versatile for various installation environments, from confined utility poles to open highway lighting systems.

How to Install the SDK 6 Inline Fuse/Disconnect

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the SDK 6 inline fuse/disconnect, including cable preparation, fuse holder assembly, and final connection. Ensure power is disconnected before beginning installation and that a qualified electrician performs the work.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Cable diameter measuring tool, Wire strippers, Crimping tool (e.g., T&B WT111M or TBM45S), Wood dowel

Supplies needed:

Load side cable, Line side cable, Lubricant, Fuse (13/32" x 1 1/2", 600 Volt 30 Amp max, non-glass body) OR connecting link

  1. Prepare Load Side Cable Housing

    WARNING: Disconnect power before installation. Measure the load side cable diameter. Refer to Table 1 in the documentation to select the corresponding section on the molded sleeve and cut off the remaining sections of the load side (plug) housing to the size referenced in the Range column.

  2. Strip Load Side Cable

    Thoroughly clean approximately 8 inches along the load side cable end. Apply lubricant and insert the cable through the small hole in the load side (plug) housing. Push the cable through a sufficient distance to permit 3/8 inch stripping of insulation, then strip the insulation a distance of 3/8 inch.

  3. Crimp Load Side Cable to Fuse Holder

    Insert the stripped load side cable into the crimp barrel of the fuse holder and crimp it securely. Refer to Table 2 in the documentation for suggested crimping tool and die based on conductor size.

  4. Assemble Load Side Fuse Holder

    Apply lubricant lightly to the outside of the fuse holder. Place the wood dowel into the fuse holder's socket and position the free end of the dowel against a firm surface. Push the load side (plug) housing forward until the fuse holder snaps into its locked position. Wipe off any excess lubricant.

  5. Prepare Line Side Cable and Housing

    Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the line side (receptacle) housing and cable. Measure the line side cable diameter, cut the housing, strip the cable, crimp it to its fuse holder, and then assemble the fuse holder into the line side housing.

  6. Insert Fuse or Connecting Link

    Insert a 13/32 inch by 1 1/2 inch fuse (600 Volt, 30 Amp max.) or the connecting link into the plug (load side) housing. WARNING: DO NOT use a glass body fuse.

  7. Connect Housings

    Connect the load side (plug) and line side (receptacle) housings together, ensuring they are securely fastened.
