Overview

The ABB 168RLR-K-5260 is a 200 Amp, 15kV loadbreak replacement elbow connector designed for medium-voltage cable systems. This connector accommodates cable insulation diameters from 1.090 inch to 1.310 inch and supports conductor sizes ranging from AWG compressed stranded 3/0 to solid 4/0, as well as 85.01 mm². The extended length contact and elbow housing provide an additional 8-7/8 inches of length, improving installation flexibility and safety in confined spaces. The bi-metal compression lug ensures reliable electrical contact and mechanical strength across a wide range of conductor types. Included with the connector is the 00400X long bi-metal contact, which enhances durability and reduces the risk of arcing or overheating. This replacement elbow is engineered for use in loadbreak applications where temporary disconnection under load is required, such as in utility substations, industrial power distribution, and renewable energy installations. The 15kV rating makes it suitable for medium-voltage systems, while the loadbreak feature allows for safe, hot-stick operation without interrupting service. The connector’s design aligns with industry standards for medium-voltage elbow connectors, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure. For maintenance teams, this product reduces downtime by providing a dependable, field-replaceable solution for damaged or worn elbows.
