Overview

The ABB 655LR-F0240 is a deadbreak elbow connector engineered for medium-voltage applications, capable of handling up to 600 amps and operating at 15/25kV. This connector is specifically designed to accommodate a range of cable insulation diameters, from 0.640 inch to 0.820 inch. It is suitable for use with conductors sized as 1/0 AWG compressed stranded or 2/0 AWG compacted solid. The inclusion of an aluminum compression lug is a key feature, providing both robust electrical contact and significant mechanical strength for secure terminations. The deadbreak design of the 655LR-F0240 is a critical safety and operational advantage, enabling safe connection and disconnection of energized cables without the need to de-energize the circuit, thereby minimizing service interruptions. This makes it an ideal component for utility, industrial, and commercial power distribution systems that require reliable medium-voltage cable terminations. As a product within ABB’s Installation Products line, the 655LR-F0240 benefits from ABB's commitment to delivering durable and compliant solutions for electrical infrastructure. It is essential to verify conductor compatibility and the precise cable insulation diameter prior to installation to guarantee a proper fit and optimal performance of the 655LR-F0240. This connector is rated for current carrying over 1000 Volts.
