Overview

The ABB 755BDLR Direct Test Elbow is a dead break-rated connector designed for 35kV systems with a continuous current rating of 600A. This elbow connector provides a reliable, insulated interface for terminating and testing medium-voltage cables in switchgear, transformers, and other distribution equipment. The dead break design ensures safe operation under load without the need for de-energizing the system, reducing downtime during maintenance or testing procedures. Engineered for compatibility with industry-standard 35kV class equipment, the 755BDLR supports dead-front applications where safety and reliability are critical. Its compact design allows for installation in confined spaces while maintaining full dielectric integrity. The connector is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, ensuring consistency with ABB’s quality and performance standards. Use cases include routine testing of medium-voltage circuits, commissioning of new equipment, and temporary connections for diagnostic purposes. The 600A rating makes it suitable for distribution systems where continuous current flow is required without derating. Installation follows standard elbow connector procedures, with compatibility for common cable sizes in the 35kV class. SKU: 755BDLR | Manufacturer: ABB - Installation Products | UNSPSC: 26121630
