Overview

The nVent HOFFMAN ASB83 is a Type 1 NEMA-rated 3-wire splitter box designed for safe and efficient electrical distribution in commercial and industrial environments. This 85-amp, 600VAC enclosure divides feeder circuit conductors into multiple branch circuits with pre-installed terminal blocks for three- and four-wire systems. Constructed from durable 16 or 14 gauge steel with an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder paint finish inside and out, the ASB83 provides corrosion-resistant protection for internal wiring. Its compact 12.00 x 12.00 x 4.00 inch dimensions optimize space in panel board feeder circuits and branch circuit distribution applications. The hinged cover ensures easy access for installation and maintenance, while factory-installed knockouts—two 1-3/4 inch and two 2-1/2 inch openings on all four sides—facilitate cable entry. Rated for 85 amps and 600 VAC, this splitter box meets CSA C22.2 No. 76, NEMA/EEMAC Type 1, and IEC 60529 IP30 standards. The single-point ground lug and optional ground splitter bar accessory enhance safety and grounding flexibility. Ideal for indoor applications requiring protection against incidental contact.
