Overview

The ABB 771GAD is a DeadBreak Grounding Device designed for 35 kV systems, rated for 600 Amps. This unit provides a permanent, reliable direct grounding connection without additional adapters, eliminating the need for temporary grounding solutions. The device features a standard C-clamp ground connection for secure mechanical and electrical bonding to grounding conductors. It includes a removable protective cap with an integral capacitive test point, enabling safe verification of de-energized circuits via hot-stick operation. The 771GAD withstands short-circuit currents up to 25 kA, making it suitable for high-fault-current applications in underground systems. Its design integrates directly into the rear interface of a 600 A series elbow connector (T-body), streamlining installation and reducing downtime. The composite construction ensures durability while maintaining electrical integrity. This grounding device is ideal for substations, industrial facilities, and utility power systems where safe de-energization and grounding are critical. The 35 kV rating aligns with medium-voltage distribution networks, and the 600 A continuous current rating supports operational and fault current handling within specified limits.
