Overview

The ABB Installation Products WRS152 is a robust aluminum compression H-tap connector designed for reliable electrical connections in overhead power distribution systems. This unit features a tin-plated copper stirrup, ensuring excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The connector is pre-filled with Contax, a specialized compound that prevents oxidation and maintains low contact resistance over time, crucial for long-term performance and system integrity. The WRS152 is engineered to accommodate a wire range of 2-6 ASCR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) on the main line. The stirrup is designed for a #2 AWG conductor, supporting both stranded and solid copper configurations, with a specific capability for #2 solid copper. This versatility allows for flexible application in various network configurations. Key specifications include: * **Material:** High-grade aluminum body with a tin-plated copper stirrup. * **Conductor Range (Main):** 2-6 ASCR. * **Conductor Range (Stirrup):** #2 Stranded - #6 Solid AWG, specifically #2 Solid Copper. * **Connector Type:** Compression H-Tap. * **Filling:** Contax filled for oxidation prevention and low contact resistance. * **Dimensions:** 10 inches in length and 2-15/16 inches in width. * **Configuration:** Two H-tap connectors are integrated onto a single stirrup. This H-tap connector is ideal for splicing or branching applications where a secure and durable connection is paramount. The wing-shaped design of the stirrup facilitates easier installation and handling. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, the WRS152 (SKU: WRS152) offers a dependable solution for utility and industrial electrical infrastructure projects.
