Overview

The ABB K150-DR is a 15/25kV, 200 ampere deadbreak insulated cap designed for safe and reliable termination of medium-voltage cables in industrial and utility applications. This fully shielded, fully submersible cap meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 and is engineered for de-energized operation, providing a secure insulated seal to prevent moisture ingress and contamination. Key specifications include a maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage of 8.3kV (15kV class) or 15.2kV (25kV class), with phase-to-phase ratings of 14.4kV and 26.3kV respectively. The cap delivers 95kV BIL (15kV) or 125kV BIL (25kV) impulse withstand, 34kV/40kV AC one-minute withstand, and 53kV/78kV DC 15-minute withstand. It supports continuous 200A current and withstands 10kA symmetrical fault current for 10 cycles. The K150-DR is compatible with standard Elastimold® deadbreak bushings and mating products including K150T, K150 Junctions, and K151SP Straight Plug. Its peroxide-cured insulation and jacket ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments. The included nylon vending rod simplifies installation and removal in confined or overhead applications. Applications include underground distribution systems, pad-mounted transformers, switchgear, and other medium-voltage environments where reliable insulation and environmental protection are critical. Note: Bails are required for proper installation but are not included with this cap. Order bails separately to match your specific application requirements.

How to Install the K150DR/150DR Deadbreak Insulated Cap

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing the Elastimold 150DR and K150DR deadbreak insulated caps onto compatible plug portions of various Elastimold products to insulate them.

Estimated time: 15m

Supplies needed:

Elastimold 150DR or K150DR Insulated Cap, Nylon Venting Rod (supplied), Lubricant (supplied), Ground wire (No. 14 AWG or 2mm2 or larger)

  1. De-energize Apparatus

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation or removal of parts. For deadbreak connectors, always de-energize before operating. Failure to follow this instruction will result in serious or fatal injury.

  2. Lubricate the Plug Portion

    Lubricate the plug portion of the mating product desired to be dead-ended with the lubricant supplied. Keep grease away from the metal center end of the plug. Do not substitute the lubricant.

  3. Install the Insulated Cap

    Insert the nylon venting rod into the dead-end receptacle to exhaust the air during assembly. Push the insulated cap onto the plug as far as possible until the two parts butt together. Remove the nylon venting rod.

  4. Connect Ground Wire

    Connect a ground wire to the grounding eye of the insulation cap and to system ground. The ground wire should be No. 14 AWG size (2mm2) or larger.
