Key Features
- Joins aluminium and copper conductors in a single in-line connection
- Reducing configuration for 400mm² aluminium to 240mm² copper cable
- Friction-welded transition designed to reduce electrolysis at the dissimilar-metal joint
- Suitable for circular and sector-stranded aluminium cable
- Manufactured to Australian dimensional requirements
- Individually packed with jointing compound applied to the barrels
Professional Installation Requirements
- Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or suitably qualified electrical tradesperson using the specified CABAC or compatible crimping dies and following the cable manufacturer’s installation instructions and applicable wiring rules.
Applications
- High-current power cable transitions
- Utility and distribution cable jointing
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations
- Joining aluminium feeder cable to copper cable of a smaller cross-sectional area
Standards & Compliance
- AS/NZS 4325.1:1995 (R2016) for compression and mechanical connectors for power cables with copper or aluminium conductors
- Installation should also comply with AS/NZS 3000 where used within an electrical installation
Environmental Benefits
- Aluminium and copper components are recyclable at end of service life
- Friction-welded construction and corrosion-inhibiting jointing compound can extend connection service life and reduce replacement waste
- Enables the use of aluminium cable with copper cable, potentially reducing conductor material and installation weight compared with an all-copper solution
