Overview

The ABB J2-26-35 is a 2-point, 35kV molded multipoint junction designed for medium-voltage electrical distribution systems. This unit features a fully shielded, fully submersible molded rubber housing with 100% peroxide-cured insulation and conductive EPDM materials for long-term reliability in harsh environments. The junction incorporates one 200 Amp deepwell bushing well interface and one 600 Amp bushing interface, enabling flexible connection strategies for sectionalizing, looping, tapping, or equipment bypass in subsurface, vault, or padmount applications. Key electrical ratings include a maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage of 21.1kV, a 150kV BIL impulse withstand rating (1.2 x 50 microsecond wave), and a 50kV AC one-minute withstand rating. The unit supports continuous current ratings of 600A or 200A with momentary fault close capabilities of 25kA symmetrical for 10 cycles (600A) or 10kA symmetrical for 10 cycles (200A). Corona extinction sensitivity is maintained at 3pC. Constructed with 304 stainless steel brackets to prevent rusting and corrosion, the J2-26-35 is engineered for direct, secure connections in power distribution networks. Its modular design allows for space-saving installations in critical areas, with standardized mating for Elastimold elbow connectors (both 600A and 200A). The no-tilt mounting configuration ensures stable, secure installation without angle adjustment, making it ideal for utility, industrial, and substation applications where reliable power branching and interface management are essential. The SKU J2-26-35 is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, designed to meet ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 requirements.

How to Install J2, J3, or J4 Deadbreak Junctions (Universal Mount)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing 15/25/35kV, 600/900 Ampere two-, three-, or four-point deadbreak junctions using the universal mount method. It covers mounting, assembly, grounding, and initial preparation for operation.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wrench (for hex nuts and cap screws), Wire strippers, Marking tool, Drill

Supplies needed:

Deadbreak Junction (J2, J3, or J4), Base Bracket, Base Plate, Universal Brackets (4), Mounting Hardware Prepack (includes various hex head cap screws, lock washers, hex nuts), Suitable fasteners (for mounting brackets to surface, user-supplied), Grounding wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded, user-supplied), ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant, HV insulated cap(s) (for unused bushings)

  1. Safety First: De-energize and Prepare

    Before beginning installation, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death. Determine the desired location for the junction assembly. Use the base plate as a template, place it on the mounting surface, and mark the slot locations for drilling.

  2. Attach Initial Universal Brackets

    Secure two universal brackets to the flat mounting surface using suitable fasteners. Tighten them securely to prevent any movement during operation.

  3. Attach Remaining Universal Brackets

    Attach the remaining two universal brackets to the two brackets already mounted on the surface at the desired angle using the supplied hardware (3/8” Hex Head Cap Screw, Ext. Tooth Lock Washer, 3/8” Hex Nut). Tighten securely.

  4. Assemble Junction to Base Bracket and Base Plate

    Assemble the deadbreak junction to the base bracket assembly and base plate. Use two 1/2” hex head cap screws, two 1/2” split lock washers, and two 1/2” hex nuts, attaching them to the center mounting holes on the bracket assembly. Tighten securely.

  5. Attach Junction Assembly to Universal Brackets

    Attach the assembled deadbreak junction to the universal brackets using the supplied hardware (1/2” Split Lock Washer, 1/2” Hex Nut, 1/2” Hex Head Cap Screw). Ensure the parking stand is in the upright position and tighten all connections securely.

  6. Ground the Assembly

    Ground the base bracket assembly and the junction’s black conductive jacket. A grounding lug is provided on the base bracket, accommodating wire sizes from No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded. Connect a suitable grounding wire and ensure a secure connection.

  7. Prepare Operating Interfaces

    Remove all protective shipping caps from the operating interfaces and clean them thoroughly. Lubricate each interface with an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant. Do not substitute with other lubricants, as they may harm the product or its mating product(s).

  8. Install Insulated Caps on Unused Bushings

    If not all operating interfaces will be utilized, install appropriate HV insulated caps on the unused bushings before energizing the circuit. Do not use the protective shipping caps for this purpose, as they are not insulated and are only intended to keep interfaces clean during handling and installation.
