Overview

The ABB 161LR-B-5220-SG3 is a 15KV, 200 Amp loadbreak elbow designed for medium-voltage cable terminations in industrial and utility applications. This elbow accommodates cable insulation diameters from 0.635 inch to 0.905 inch, making it compatible with a range of conductor sizes including AWG compressed stranded #2 or solid #1, equivalent to 33.62 mm². The bi-metal compression lug ensures reliable electrical contact and mechanical integrity, while the SG3 cold-shrinkable seal provides a moisture-resistant, long-lasting termination with integrated copper braid and constant-force spring for consistent compression. This loadbreak elbow is engineered for safe, efficient loadbreak and make-break operations on energized systems, reducing downtime during maintenance or switching procedures. It is ideal for use in pad-mounted transformers, switchgear, and underground distribution systems where reliable, high-voltage cable termination is critical. The SG3 seal system eliminates the need for heat-shrink or tape applications, simplifying installation and improving reliability in harsh environments.
