Overview

The ABB 655LR-K0330 is a 600 Amp deadbreak elbow connector, engineered for robust performance in 15/25kV electrical systems. This connector is specifically designed to accommodate a cable insulation diameter range of 1.090 inches to 1.310 inches, ensuring a precise fit for a variety of medium-voltage cables. For conductor connections, the 655LR-K0330 supports multiple configurations: it accepts 500 kcmil conductors in compressed or stranded form, and 600 kcmil conductors that are compacted or solid. Additionally, it is compatible with 250/300 mm² compact conductors. The connector is equipped with an aluminum compression lug, a critical component that provides a secure and highly conductive termination point. This feature is essential for maintaining system integrity and minimizing electrical resistance in demanding medium-voltage applications. The deadbreak design of the 655LR-K0330 is a key safety and operational feature, enabling safe connection and disconnection of energized equipment, which significantly contributes to reducing downtime during maintenance procedures.
