Abb 500m Split Bolt Connector 400-500 Kcmil Type H

Product Description

The ABB INSTALLATION PRODUCTS 500m is a Type H High Strength split bolt connector designed for joining stranded copper conductors in electrical installations. Built from bronze alloy, it delivers reliable mechanical connection and corrosion resistance in both exposed and enclosed applications. The connector accommodates conductors ranging from 400 to 500 kcmil and features a 1-1/2 x 3-1/32 inch bolt with a 1-7/8 inch hex nut for secure torquing. The 0.842 inch split opening accepts large-gauge stranded copper wire used in service entrance, feeder, and distribution work. Licensed electricians install this connector during new construction, service upgrades, and panel feeder runs.

This split bolt connector is suited for high-ampacity feeder and service conductor splices in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems. It is intended for use with stranded copper conductors in the 400 to 500 kcmil range, making it appropriate for main service entrance work and large feeder tap connections where a reliable mechanical bond is required. Installation typically occurs inside metering equipment, distribution panels, junction boxes, and conduit bodies where large conductors terminate or transition.

Key Features

• Type H High Strength rating for demanding feeder and service entrance applications
• Accepts stranded copper conductors from 400 to 500 kcmil
• Bronze alloy construction for corrosion resistance and mechanical durability
• 1-1/2 x 3-1/32 inch bolt provides secure clamping force on large-gauge conductors
• 1-7/8 inch hex nut allows standard wrench engagement for proper torque application
• 0.842 inch split opening sized for consistent fit on stranded copper wire

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style split bolt connector for stranded copper conductors in the 400 to 500 kcmil range, consistent with Type H high-strength connector applications in large feeder and service entrance wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit at the source before making any conductor connections. Use an appropriately sized open-end or adjustable wrench on the 1-7/8 inch hex nut to achieve a firm mechanical connection without over-stressing the connector body. Wrap completed connections with listed electrical tape or an insulating cover as required by code for the installation environment.
