What is the typical size range for compression tool connectors used for splicing stranded conductors in aluminum and ACSR?

The typical size range for compression tool connectors used for splicing stranded conductors in aluminum and ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) conductors falls between #10 and 1/0. This range is standard for ensuring that the connectors provide a secure and effective splice, enabling optimal electrical performance and mechanical integrity.

The sizes specified within this range are commonly chosen for applications that require the connection of parts with varying current-carrying capacities. ACSR conductors, for instance, tend to be more robust due to their steel core, and they often require connectors sized accordingly to handle both the electrical loads and environmental stresses.

In contrast, the other size ranges presented don't align with typical industry standards for compression connectors: the #6 to #2 range may be suitable for larger splices typically used in transmission lines, while #4 to #1 and #8 to #3 ranges could be too small or not commonly specified for splicing purposes in the context of aluminum and ACSR conductors. Therefore, the selection of the #10 to 1/0 option represents the most accurate choice for the specified application.
