Overview

The ABB 656ETP-K-AC02-DRG is a 15kV, 600 Amp Elbow Tap Plug, Test and Ground Connector Kit designed for medium-voltage cable systems. This kit includes an insulated cap, test and ground reducing tap plug, 600 series elbow housing, cable adapter, and a tin-plated aluminum shearbolt lug. It accommodates cable insulation diameters from 1.090 to 1.310 inches and supports conductor sizes from 4/0 AWG to 500 kcmil in stranded, compressed, solid, or compact configurations. This connector is suitable for applications requiring reliable electrical connections in medium-voltage distribution systems, such as utility substations, industrial power plants, and commercial facilities. The test point allows for safe voltage verification without disconnecting the system, while the ground reducing tap plug enables proper grounding during maintenance or fault conditions. The tin-plated aluminum shearbolt lug ensures corrosion resistance and secure conductor termination, while the 600 series elbow housing provides compatibility with standard 600A loadbreak interfaces. The kit is engineered for use in environments where medium-voltage cable systems require safe, efficient, and compliant connections.
