Overview

The ABB 35kV 600 Series Deadbreak Elbow, SKU 756LR-P0380, is a fully shielded, dead-front submersible connector designed for high-voltage underground power cable terminations up to 35kV. This deadbreak elbow provides a reliable, fully insulated interface for connecting 600A-rated cables in utility and industrial applications. The unit accommodates cable insulation diameters from 1.725 inches to 1.935 inches and supports compressed stranded conductors from 700 to 750 kcmil or compacted solid conductors up to 900 kcmil. Key electrical ratings include a maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage of 21.1kV, phase-to-phase voltage of 36.6kV, and a basic impulse level (BIL) of 150kV. The elbow meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 requirements and provides 50kV AC one-minute withstand, 103kV DC 15-minute withstand, and 26kV AC corona extinction at 3pC sensitivity. It supports momentary fault currents up to 25kA for 10 cycles. The deadbreak design allows safe connection and disconnection under de-energized conditions using standard hand tools. The molded rubber housing is 100% peroxide-cured EPDM, ensuring long-term environmental resistance and dielectric integrity. The included test point enables safe system diagnostics without cable de-energization. The kit includes an aluminum compression lug, insulated plug with cap, stud, cable adapter, and lubricant tubes for complete installation. This elbow is ideal for underground power distribution systems, submersible transformers, switchgear, and other high-voltage apparatus requiring fully shielded, dead-front connections. The deadbreak feature eliminates the need for load interruption during maintenance or testing, enhancing operational safety and efficiency.

How to Install 756/776LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and connection of 756LR and 776LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors on 35kV class systems. Always ensure all apparatus are de-energized during installation or removal to prevent serious or fatal injury.

Estimated time: 2h

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimp tool, Wire brush, Hotstick, Suitable voltage sensing device, Torque wrench

Supplies needed:

756/776LR Elbow Connector Kit (includes Elbow, Cable Adapter, Compression Lug, Insulating Plug, Crimp connector, Lubricant, Stud Prepack), No. 14 AWG Copper wire (or equivalent), Suitable ground connector, HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s), Waterproofing material

  1. De-energize and Inspect Apparatus

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before submerging or energizing the circuit.

  2. Position and Cut Cable

    Position the cable in its final assembled location, ensuring enough slack to allow for elbow removal. Cut the cable 1-3/4 inches (45mm) from the centerline of the mating product.

  3. Clean Cable Jacket

    Clean the outer jacket of the cable for a distance of 24 inches (610mm) from the cut end.

  4. Prepare Cable

    Prepare the cable according to its type (e.g., non-jacketed concentric, jacketed shield, flat metallic tape, fabric tape, or longitudinally corrugated shield). Remove the outer jacket and prepare the cable insulation, semi-con shield, and neutral/shield wires to the specified dimensions (10-3/8 inches to 13-5/8 inches from the cut end). Refer to specific instructions for grounding devices or cable shield adapters if used.

  5. Install Cable Adapter

    Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) back. Thoroughly clean and lubricate the cable insulation, working towards the semi-con shield. Install the cable adapter, small end first, until it is flush with the edge of the tape marker.

  6. Prepare Conductor

    Remove the protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Do not cut or nick the cable adapter or the conductor. The exposed conductor length should be between 4-3/8 inches to 4-3/4 inches (111mm-121mm). If not, redo the assembly.

  7. Crimp Compression Lug

    For copper conductors, fully insert the conductor into the compression lug. For aluminum conductors, wire brush the conductor and immediately fully insert it into the compression lug. Measure the 'Check Dimension' before crimping (should be less than 7 inches / 178mm). Crimp the compression lug following the instructions supplied with the lug. Wipe all excess inhibitor from the lug and cable adapter. The distance from the end of the lug to the cable adapter after crimping should be 6-7/8 inches to 7-5/8 inches (175mm-194mm).

  8. Install Elbow

    Lubricate the cable adapter and the inside of the elbow cable entrance. Install the elbow onto the cable adapter until it cannot advance further. Ensure the cable adapter remains flush with the tape marker. If not, reposition the cable adapter. Remove the tape marker.

  9. Prepare Mating Products

    DANGER: Do not connect or disconnect mating products while energized. Do not energize while disconnected. Remove protective caps from the elbow and the mating part. Hand tighten the threaded stud supplied with the elbow into the mating part if it is not already equipped with a stud. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part with the supplied lubricant, keeping surfaces clean.

  10. Connect Elbow to Mating Part

    Push the elbow onto the mating part, aligning the hole in the compression lug with the stud on the mating part.

  11. Connect Opposite End of Elbow

    Clean and lubricate the mating part for the opposite end of the elbow. Insert this mating part into the elbow, engage the threads, and hand tighten. Torque the mating part according to its specific instructions.

  12. Install Insulating Plug (if applicable)

    If an insulating plug is used as a mating part, clean and lubricate the inner surface of the voltage detection cap. Place the cap on the elbow and push down firmly until it snaps into place. CAUTION: The insulating plug provides a means for detecting system voltage; follow voltage test directions carefully.

  13. Ground the Cable Shield

    Insert one end of a No. 14 AWG Copper wire (or equivalent ampacity) through the grounding eye and twist to form a small loop, taking care not to damage the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. The cable shield must be grounded according to instructions supplied with any grounding device, or via an alternate method if no device is used. It is also recommended to waterproof the cable jacket at this point to prevent moisture ingress.

  14. Perform Voltage Test

    CAUTION: The voltage test point is a capacitance device, not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle. Test with a suitable sensing device designed for capacitive test points to determine if the cable is energized. Contamination or incorrect equipment can give false readings. Treat the elbow as energized until a 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means. After testing, clean and lubricate the cap's inside surface with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
