Overview

The ABB 168RLR-J5270 is a 200 Amp, 15kV loadbreak replacement elbow connector designed for medium-voltage cable systems. This connector accommodates cable insulation diameters from 0.980 inch to 1.180 inch and supports conductor sizes ranging from AWG compressed stranded 4/0 to solid compact 250 kcmil (126.67 mm²). The extended length design provides an additional 8-7/8 inches of reach, enhancing installation flexibility in confined spaces or when additional clearance is required. The kit includes all necessary components for installation and maintenance: the elbow connector housing, a long bi-metal compression lug for secure conductor termination, a probe wrench and probe for loadbreak operations, a hose clamp for cable retention, a crimp chart for reference, detailed installation instructions, and a tube of lubricant to ensure smooth assembly. The bi-metal compression lug ensures compatibility with both copper and aluminum conductors, reducing the need for additional adapters.
