Overview

The ABB 655RETP-N0410-DRG is a 600 Amp, 15kV deadbreak test and ground replacement connector kit designed for medium-voltage cable systems. This kit is engineered to terminate, test, and ground 1.515 to 1.780 inch cable insulation diameters with a compressed stranded 1000 kcmil conductor. The deadbreak design allows for safe connection and disconnection under load without de-energizing the system, making it ideal for maintenance, troubleshooting, and emergency grounding operations. Key features include an insulated cap for enhanced safety, an aluminum compression lug for reliable conductivity, and compatibility with the 600 Series platform. The connector is rated for continuous operation at 600 Amps and 15kV, ensuring stable performance in industrial, utility, and commercial power distribution applications. The aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, while the compression lug ensures low-resistance connections that minimize heat generation and energy loss. This replacement connector kit is specifically designed for systems requiring periodic testing and grounding, such as substations, switchgear, and cable terminations. It eliminates the need for specialized tools or procedures, reducing downtime during maintenance operations. The kit is part of ABB's Installation Products line, known for durable and reliable solutions in electrical infrastructure. Use this connector when replacing damaged or worn test and ground connectors in medium-voltage cable systems where safety and reliability are critical.
