Overview

ABB Installation Products J2-26-15 is a 2-point molded multipoint junction designed for medium-voltage cable terminations up to 15kV. This junction features one 200 Amp deepwell bushing interface and one 600 Amp bushing interface, enabling flexible connections between control circuits and primary power feeds. The fully shielded, fully submersible molded rubber housing ensures reliable performance in subsurface, vault, or padmount applications, including sectionalizing, looping, tapping, and equipment bypass. Constructed with 100% peroxide-cured insulation and conductive EPDM materials, the J2-26-15 delivers superior dielectric strength and corrosion resistance. The housing incorporates 304 stainless steel brackets to prevent rusting, extending service life in harsh environments. Compatible with Elastimold Elbow connectors (both 600A and 200A), this junction simplifies transitions between cable types without requiring full system redesign. Key electrical ratings include a maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage of 8.3kV, 95kV BIL impulse withstand, 34kV AC one-minute withstand, and 53kV DC 15-minute withstand. The junction supports continuous currents of 600A or 200A, with momentary and fault close ratings of 25kA symmetric for 10 cycles (600A) or 10kA symmetric for 10 cycles (200A). Designed for direct burial or confined space installations, the J2-26-15 eliminates tilt mounting requirements, reducing installation complexity and structural support needs. Its compact design suits utility substations, industrial power distribution, renewable energy interconnections, and commercial facility upgrades. The modular configuration allows integration into new installations or retrofits in tight spaces, ensuring long-term reliability in medium-voltage distribution systems.

How to Install a Deadbreak Junction with Universal Mount

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing a two-, three-, or four-point deadbreak junction (e.g., J2-26-15) using the universal mounting method, including securing brackets, assembling the junction, and grounding the unit.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Wrenches (for 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch hex nuts/cap screws), Fastener driver (e.g., screwdriver or drill/driver for mounting fasteners), Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Deadbreak Junction (J2-26-15), Base Bracket, Base Plate, Universal Brackets (4), Mounting Hardware Prepack (includes various screws, washers, nuts), Suitable fasteners (for attaching universal brackets to mounting surface), Grounding wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded), ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant, HV insulated caps (for unused bushings)

  1. Prepare for Installation and Mark Location

    Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation to prevent serious or fatal injury. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. Determine the desired location for the junction assembly. Use the base plate as a template, place it on the mounting surface, and mark all four slot locations for the universal brackets.

  2. Mount Universal Brackets

    Secure two universal brackets to the marked slot locations on the flat surface using suitable fasteners. Tighten these fasteners securely to prevent any movement during operation. Attach the remaining two universal brackets to the previously mounted brackets at the desired angle using the supplied 3/8 inch hex head cap screws, external tooth lock washers, and 3/8 inch hex nuts. Tighten securely.

  3. Assemble and Mount Deadbreak Junction

    Assemble the deadbreak junction to the base bracket assembly and base plate. Use two 1/2 inch hex head cap screws, two 1/2 inch split lock washers, and two 1/2 inch hex nuts, attaching them to the center mounting holes on the bracket assembly. Tighten securely. Attach the complete deadbreak junction assembly to the universal brackets using the supplied 1/2 inch hex head cap screws, 1/2 inch split lock washers, and 1/2 inch hex nuts. Ensure the parking stand is in the upright position and tighten all fasteners securely.

  4. Ground the Assembly

    Connect a grounding wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded) to the grounding lug provided on the base bracket. Ensure the base bracket assembly and the junction's black conductive jacket are properly grounded.

  5. Prepare for Operation

    Remove all protective shipping caps from the operating interfaces and clean them. Lubricate each interface with an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant; do not substitute, as other lubricants may be harmful. If all operating interfaces are not utilized, install appropriate HV insulated caps on unused bushings before energization. Do not use shipping caps for this purpose, as they are not insulated.
