Overview

The ABB 373J4-5 is a 35kV, 200 Amp, 4-point loadbreak junction designed for medium-voltage power distribution systems. This fully shielded, fully submersible molded rubber junction features a 100% peroxide-cured construction with insulation and conductive EPDM materials, ensuring long-term durability in harsh environments. The 4-way configuration supports multi-circuit connections for sectionalizing, looping, tapping, and equipment bypass in subsurface, vault, or padmount applications. Key specifications include a 21.1kV phase-to-ground operating voltage, 36.6kV maximum phase-to-phase rating, and 150kV BIL impulse withstand. The junction delivers 200 Amp continuous and loadbreak current capacity with a 10kA symmetrical momentary and fault close rating. It meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 and is rated for 3-phase switching operations. Compatible with Elastimold® elbow connectors (375/376LR), grounding elbows (370), test rods (370TR), and insulated caps (375DR/376DRG), the 373J4-5 provides versatile interconnection options. The U-strap mounting system enables secure installation on flat or curved surfaces without requiring a bracket. Each kit includes protective shipping caps, lubricant tubes, and installation instructions for streamlined deployment.

How to Install 373J4-5 Loadbreak Junctions

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of 373J4-5 Four-Point Loadbreak Junctions, including mounting, grounding, and preparing bushings for operation.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Drill, Wrench or Screwdriver

Supplies needed:

373J4-5 Loadbreak Junction with Holdown Brackets and Hardware, Shield Plate, Mounting Hardware (fasteners), Grounding lug (if mounting surface is insulating, not provided), Ground wire (14AWG minimum, if mounting surface is insulating), Silicone lubricant, Elastimold 370DR Insulated Caps (for unused 35kV class bushings, if applicable)

  1. Perform Pre-Installation Checks and Safety

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Before starting, inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Verify package contents are complete and undamaged. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace them with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before proceeding with installation or energization.

  2. Prepare Mounting Surface

    Determine the desired location for the junction assembly. Using the provided diagrams for the J4 model, drill the necessary mounting holes into the mounting surface. Ensure the holes are accurately placed according to the specified dimensions (e.g., 0.375 Dia. Hole, 2.500 spacing).

  3. Mount and Ground the Junction Assembly

    Assemble the loadbreak junction, shield plate, and hold down brackets using the supplied fasteners. Attach the assembled unit to the prepared flat surface. Securely tighten all fasteners to prevent any movement during operation. CAUTION: The shield plate, hold down brackets, and black conductive rubber shield must be grounded. If the mounting surface is conductive and grounded, no additional ground is necessary. For insulating mounting surfaces, attach a grounding lug (not provided) with one of the mounting bolts and connect a minimum 14AWG ground wire from the lug to a ground bus.

  4. Finalize Bushing Preparation

    Remove any protective caps from the bushings and thoroughly clean them. Apply silicone lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE) to the bushings before assembling with an Elastimold loadbreak connector. If any bushings are not utilized, install Elastimold 370DR insulated caps (for 35kV class) on the unused bushings before energization. Do not use the protective shipping caps for this function as they are not insulated.
