Overview

The ABB 655CA-LM 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 1.280 inches and 1.430 inches, ensuring compatibility within 15/25kV class systems. The unit measures 6.38 inches in length with a 2.14-inch outer diameter, offering a compact solution for switchgear, transformers, and cable terminations. Engineered for deadbreak operation, the 655CA-LM facilitates safe connection and disconnection under load, minimizing system downtime. It is part of ABB’s 600 Series, known for standardized fitment and reliable performance in utility, industrial, and commercial power distribution. This adapter is crucial for transitioning between cable sizes within the specified insulation range, maintaining dielectric integrity and mechanical stability in 15/25kV circuits. It is ideal for retrofits, upgrades, or new installations requiring conductor size standardization. The deadbreak design reduces arc risk during operation, enhancing safety. Compatible with industry-standard terminations and bushings, the 655CA-LM supports efficient installation with standard tools. Its robust construction is suitable for indoor and outdoor environments when installed per ABB specifications and applicable electrical codes. The adapter is designed for use with copper (CU) or aluminum (AL) conductors, supporting wire sizes up to 600 MCM, as indicated by related ABB catalog entries for similar applications (e.g., 54289 for 600 MCM CU only, 60275 for 600 MCM CU/AL).
