Overview

The ABB 164J3 is a 15kV, 200 Amp loadbreak 3-way junction designed for medium-voltage electrical systems. This fully shielded, fully submersible molded rubber housing unit provides three distinct connection points for loadbreak applications, enabling efficient power distribution and management in industrial environments. Constructed with 100% peroxide-cured insulation and conductive EPDM materials, the junction ensures reliable performance under demanding conditions. The stainless steel mounting bracket and hardware deliver secure attachment to flat or curved surfaces, supporting tilt mounting angles from 0° to 90° in 15° increments. Compatible with Elastimold® elbow connectors, the 164J3 is rated for 200-ampere continuous and loadbreak operation, with a 10kA symmetrical momentary and fault close rating. Ideal for subsurface, vault, or padmount applications, this junction supports sectionalizing, looping, tapping, and equipment bypass in 15kV class distribution systems. Each kit includes the junction, protective shipping caps, lubricant tube, and installation instructions.

How to Install the 160DRG/167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead

This guide provides instructions for installing the ELASTIMOLD 15kV class (8.3kV phase-to-ground and 14.4kV phase-to-phase) 160DRG and 167DRG insulated caps, designed for insulating, shielding, and watersealing loadbreak bushing interfaces. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hotstick

Supplies needed:

160DRG or 167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, Lubricant (supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved)

  1. Connect Electrostatic Grounding Wire

    Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground. Leave enough slack for hot-stick operation of the insulated cap. CAUTION: Train the electrostatic grounding wire so it does not contact the bushing interface during operation.

  2. Prepare Insulated Cap

    Remove the protective cover from the insulated cap. Lubricate the cap’s internal mating surface using only the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE, as other lubricants may be harmful. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime. Always replace the protective cover when not in use.

  3. Attach Insulated Cap to Bushing

    Firmly attach a hotstick to the insulated cap's pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing, and push it home with a fast, firm, straight motion. Make certain it is fully mated, with the locking ring seated. Detach the hotstick from the insulated cap.
