Overview

The ABB 162A4-C5270 is a 15kV, 200 Amp loadbreak elbow connector designed for medium-voltage power distribution systems. This kit includes a bushing insert, test point, bi-metal compression lug, probe, probe wrench, and protective components for safe, reliable cable connections. The elbow accommodates cables with insulation diameters from 0.805 to 1.060 inches (20.45 to 26.92mm), classified as Cable Insulation Diameter C, making it suitable for 270 to 4/0 AWG stranded/compressed conductors or up to 250 kcmil solid/compact conductors. The bi-metal compression lug ensures corrosion-resistant conductivity and mechanical strength, reducing connection failure risks. The included test point enables safe, non-disruptive testing and maintenance without interrupting service. The kit includes a protective shipping cap, lubricant tube, and probe wrench for installation. For jacketed concentric neutral or copper tape shield cables, ABB recommends pairing this elbow with a sealing and grounding kit (e.g., 200ECS or 200ECSG3) for optimal performance. This loadbreak elbow is a critical component for medium-voltage electrical systems requiring dependable, high-availability power distribution.
