Overview

The ABB 655CA-G is a deadbreak cable size adapter designed for medium-voltage applications up to 25kV and 600A continuous current. This adapter bridges cable insulation diameters between 0.760 inch and 0.950 inch, allowing for standardized connections in distribution systems. The unit measures 6.38 inches in length and 2.14 inches in diameter, fitting standard deadbreak interfaces while accommodating varying cable insulation thicknesses. This adapter is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, ensuring compatibility with existing 15/25kV class equipment. It is commonly used in utility, industrial, and commercial power distribution systems where cable size standardization is required without replacing existing terminations. The deadbreak design allows for safe connection and disconnection under load, reducing downtime during maintenance or reconfiguration. Key applications include: - Transition between cable sizes in underground distribution networks - Integration of new cables into existing deadbreak terminations - Standardization of cable interfaces in switchgear and transformers The 655CA-G is a direct replacement for systems requiring a 600A rated adapter with a 0.760-0.950 inch insulation range. No additional ratings or certifications are provided in the source data.
