Overview

The ABB 655LRTP-M2380-DRG is a 600 Amp, 15kV Deadbreak Stick-Op Connector Kit designed for reliable high-voltage cable terminations in utility and industrial applications. This kit features a copper compression lug for superior electrical conductivity and long-term performance in demanding systems. Engineered to accommodate cable insulation diameters from 1.370 inches to 1.630 inches, it supports compressed stranded conductors from 700 to 750 kcmil and compacted solid conductors up to 900 kcmil. The deadbreak design allows safe engagement and disengagement from a distance via hotstick, eliminating the need for cable movement during testing or grounding operations. The included insulated cap enhances safety and operational integrity during installation and maintenance. This connector kit meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 and is rated for 15.2kV maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage, 26.3kV maximum phase-to-phase voltage, and 125kV BIL impulse withstand. With a continuous current rating of 600A and 25kA symmetrical momentary rating for 10 cycles, it provides robust performance in medium-voltage systems. The stick-operation mechanism enables external visible breaks, reducing space requirements and improving safety in deadfront construction. Ideal for utility substations, industrial power distribution, and other high-current medium-voltage applications requiring dependable cable terminations.

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

This guide provides instructions for safely installing the ELASTIMOLD 15kV class insulated cap with a ground lead onto a loadbreak bushing interface. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hotstick

Supplies needed:

Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, Lubricant

  1. Connect Grounding Wire

    Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground, ensuring 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. Lubricate the cap's internal mating surface using 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.

  3. Install Insulated Cap

    Firmly attach a hotstick to the insulated cap's 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.
