Overview

The ABB 655ETP-P0410-DRG is a complete 15kV 600 Series Deadbreak Elbow TAP PLUG Connector Kit designed for safe, reliable medium-voltage electrical connections in utility, industrial, and commercial power distribution systems. This kit includes all critical components for terminating and testing 1000 kcmil compressed stranded conductors with cable insulation diameters between 1.725 and 1.935 inches. The core of the kit is the 600 series Elbow housing, engineered to ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 for deadbreak operation at 15kV class (8.3kV phase-to-ground, 14.4kV phase-to-phase). The kit features a reducing tap plug for test and ground functionality, an insulated protective cap, a cable adapter for compatibility, and a 0370 style aluminum compression lug rated for 1000 kcmil conductors. The deadbreak interface supports 600A continuous current with a 25kA symmetrical momentary rating, while the loadbreak interface enables 200A continuous and loadbreak operations with a 10kA symmetrical momentary rating. The peroxide-cured insulation and jacket ensure long-term reliability and corona extinction at 11kV AC. This kit is essential for applications requiring safe, non-interruptive testing and grounding in medium-voltage systems, including pad-mounted transformers, switchgear, and cable terminations. The included components simplify installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and improving operational safety. Compatible with mating connectors including 167DR, 167DRG, 167ESA-XX, 165LR, and others in the 600 series ecosystem.

How to Install the ELASTIMOLD 160DRG/167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead

This guide provides instructions for installing the ELASTIMOLD 160DRG and 167DRG insulated caps, designed for insulating, shielding, and watersealing 15kV class loadbreak bushing interfaces. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before installation.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hotstick

Supplies needed:

Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, ELASTIMOLD Approved Lubricant

  1. Connect Grounding Wire

    Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground, leaving enough slack for hot-stick operation of the insulated cap. CAUTION: Train the electrostatic grounding wire so as not to contact the bushing interface during operation.

  2. Prepare Insulated Cap

    Remove the protective cover from the insulated cap and lubricate the cap's internal mating surface. Use only the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants; do not substitute, as other lubricants may be harmful. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime. Always replace the protective cover when the cap is not in use.

  3. Install Insulated Cap

    Firmly attach a hotstick to the insulated cap pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing, and push it home with a fast, firm, straight motion. Make certain it is fully mated, with the locking ring seated. Detach the hotstick from the insulated cap.
