Greaves IPC3540 Insulated Parallel Connector 350 Kcmil-4/0 Tap

Product Description

The GREAVES IPC3540 is an insulated parallel connector (IPC) designed to join a main conductor ranging from 350 kcmil down to 4/0 AWG to a tap conductor ranging from 4/0 AWG down to 10 AWG. This style of connector is a core component in power distribution work, allowing electricians to branch off a main feeder without interrupting the run. The insulated housing keeps live conductors protected after termination, reducing exposure risk during and after installation. At 4.17 pounds, this is a robust connector suited for commercial and industrial applications where reliable, code-compliant tap connections are required.

The IPC3540 is used in electrical distribution panels, switchgear, and feeder tap applications across commercial and industrial installations. It accommodates a wide conductor range on both the main and tap sides, making it practical for situations where tap conductor sizes vary across a job. Licensed electricians performing feeder tap work under NEC Article 240 tap rules will find this connector applicable in branch circuit and feeder distribution scenarios.

Key Features

• Main conductor range: 350 kcmil to 4/0 AWG
• Tap conductor range: 4/0 AWG to 10 AWG
• Insulated parallel connector design protects termination points after installation
• Wide conductor range accommodates varied feeder and tap sizing on a single connector
• Substantial build weight of 4.17 pounds indicates heavy-duty construction for high-current applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style parallel tap connector for commercial and industrial electrical distribution applications requiring a main conductor range of 350 kcmil to 4/0 AWG and a tap conductor range of 4/0 AWG to 10 AWG.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for tap conductor protection and feeder tap rules. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any conductor terminations. Use appropriately rated crimping or compression tooling as specified for the connector type. Verify conductor preparation, insulation strip length, and torque requirements per applicable installation instructions before energizing.
