ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly for power utility transmission conductors includes a first conductive member having a tap conductor engagement surface adapted for interfacing with a tap conductor and a main conductor engagement surface adapted for interfacing with a main conductor. The first conductive member also includes a conductive member engagement surface adapted for interfacing with a second conductive member. The second conductive member is mechanically and electrically coupled to the first conductive member. The second conductive member has a tap conductor engagement surface adapted for interfacing with the tap conductor and a main conductor engagement surface adapted for interfacing with the main conductor. The second conductive member also includes a conductive member engagement surface adapted for interfacing with the conductive member engagement surface of the first conductive member. A lubricant is applied to at least one engagement surface of the first conductive member, and is applied to at least one engagement surface of the second conductive member.
