Overview

The ABB 375LR-J-5230 is a 35kV, 200 Amp loadbreak elbow connector engineered for medium-voltage power cable termination in utility and industrial applications. This connector is designed without a test point, simplifying installation while maintaining full loadbreak functionality for safe energized connections and disconnections. It accommodates cable insulation diameters from 0.980 inches to 1.180 inches, providing a secure fit for a defined range of cable sizes commonly used in medium-voltage distribution systems. The integrated bi-metal compression lug ensures reliable electrical connections for compressed stranded conductors sized AWG #1 and solid conductors sized AWG 1/0, with a cross-sectional area of 42.41 mm². This bi-metal construction combines copper and aluminum properties to optimize conductivity and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both copper and aluminum conductors. The compression lug design provides a gas-tight connection that resists vibration and thermal cycling, critical for long-term reliability in power distribution networks. This loadbreak elbow connector is part of ABB's medium-voltage product line, specifically designed for applications requiring safe, load-interrupting connections without the need for test point access. Typical applications include pad-mounted switchgear, underground distribution systems, and industrial power distribution where medium-voltage cable terminations must meet safety and performance standards. Key specifications include a 35kV voltage rating and 200 Amp continuous current rating, making it compatible with standard medium-voltage distribution equipment. The connector's design allows for easy installation in confined spaces while providing the mechanical strength and electrical integrity required for outdoor and indoor environments.

How to Install 375LR/376LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and wiring of 375LR and 376LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors on UD cables, ensuring proper assembly and connection.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Probe Wrench, Crimp tool, Wire brush, Cable cut back template, Wire strippers, Pliers

Supplies needed:

Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Lubricant (Do Not Substitute), Copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm), Appropriate connector (for neutral to ground), HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s)

  1. Prepare for Installation and Safety Checks

    Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Inspect the package contents and all components for completeness, damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Verify the probe threads freely into the compression lug. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors.

  2. Prepare the Cable

    Train the cable to ease future operation and cut any excess cable squarely at the center line of the bushing. Unwrap and bind the concentric neutral wires 8-1/2 inches back from the cable end. Carefully remove the insulation shield and insulation from the cable end, ensuring not to nick the conductor. Wire brush the bare aluminum conductors and immediately install the compression lug, rotating to spread inhibitor. Align the lug's threaded hole with the bushing bore, then crimp according to the lug's chart. Remove the remaining insulation shield, bevel the insulation end by 1/8 inch maximum, and thoroughly clean the insulation.

  3. Assemble the Elbow Connector

    Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing using only the supplied lubricant. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable with a back-and-forth twisting motion, wiping off any excess grease. Align the elbow with the compression lug's threaded hole. Hand-thread the probe into the lug, ensuring it turns freely for approximately four turns before becoming snug. Tighten the probe with the probe wrench until the wrench bends.

  4. Connect the Concentric Neutral

    Insert one end of a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist it tight, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector, ensuring adequate slack for elbow operation.

  5. Connect Elbow to Bushing Plug

    Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant ONLY if both the transformer and elbow are confirmed to be de-energized. Connect the elbow to the bushing plug, ensuring a firm and straight motion to engage the internal lock.
