Overview

The ABB 655ETP-LAC02-DRG 15kV 600 Series Deadbreak Elbow TAP PLUG Connector Kit is a high-reliability, field-installable solution for medium-voltage cable tapping, testing, and grounding applications. Designed for 15kV systems, this kit includes a 600A-rated deadbreak elbow housing, a tin-plated aluminum shearbolt tap plug connector, and a test/ground reducing tap plug. The kit is optimized for cable insulation diameters between 1.180 inch and 1.465 inch, accommodating conductor sizes from 4/0 AWG to 500 kcmil stranded, compressed, or compact configurations. The shearbolt connection ensures secure, vibration-resistant terminations while the tin-plated aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and long-term conductivity. This deadbreak design allows for hot-stick operation, enabling safe, live-line installations without service interruption. Typical applications include utility substations, switchgear, pad-mounted transformers, and industrial power distribution systems where reliable, maintenance-free cable connections are critical. The included test and ground components enable temporary circuit verification and grounding during maintenance, reducing downtime and improving operational safety. Compatible with standard 600A class equipment, this kit meets stringent utility-grade performance requirements for medium-voltage networks.
