Overview

The ABB 650ETPS 15kV 600 Amp Series Loadbreak Elbow Tap Plug is a rugged, field-installable connector designed for medium-voltage distribution systems. Rated at 15kV and 600A continuous current, this elbow plug enables safe, reliable tapping into existing 15kV class feeders without de-energizing the system. The unit features a loose stud design for flexible installation and requires the 600ATM assembly tool for proper assembly and disassembly. This loadbreak elbow is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, a trusted manufacturer in electrical infrastructure solutions. It is engineered for use in underground residential distribution (URD) systems, pad-mounted transformers, and switchgear applications where loadbreak capability is required for maintenance or reconfiguration. The 650ETPS supports hot-stick operation, allowing linemen to safely connect or disconnect under load conditions. Key applications include feeder taps, transformer connections, and switching points in medium-voltage networks. The elbow’s design ensures dielectric integrity and mechanical durability in harsh outdoor environments, meeting industry standards for medium-voltage connectors. When paired with compatible bushings and elbows, the 650ETPS provides a complete loadbreak solution for utility and industrial power distribution systems.
