Overview

The ABB K1501J2U-8 is a 200 Amp, 15/25kV deadbreak 2-way junction designed for reliable medium-voltage power distribution in industrial and utility applications. This fully shielded, fully submersible molded rubber housing connector provides a secure 2-point junction for de-energized operations, ensuring safe and efficient power flow in critical infrastructure. The deadbreak design allows for hot-stick operation without interrupting service, making it ideal for maintenance and network reconfiguration. Key specifications include 200 Amp continuous current rating with 10kA symmetrical momentary withstand for 10 cycles. Voltage ratings meet ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 requirements: 8.3kV phase-to-ground and 14.4kV maximum phase-to-phase for 15kV class systems; 15.2kV phase-to-ground and 26.3kV maximum phase-to-phase for 25kV class systems. Impulse withstand ratings are 95kV BIL for 15kV and 125kV BIL for 25kV classes. The junction features 11kV AC corona extinction at 3pC sensitivity for 15kV and 19kV AC for 25kV. The K1501J2U-8 is designed to mate with Elastimold® elbow connectors including models 156LR, K150T, K150DR, and K151SR. The molded EPDM construction with conductive materials provides full shielding and submersible protection. Mounting hardware accommodates both flat and curved surfaces with 0°, 30°, or 45° tilt arrangements. Center-to-center spacing is fixed at 4 inches for precise alignment with compatible components. This deadbreak junction is engineered for use in substations, distribution networks, and industrial facilities requiring high-current, medium-voltage termination solutions. The stainless steel bracket included in the kit provides robust mounting versatility. Note that bails are required accessories for proper installation and must be ordered separately. The product is supplied with installation instructions, protective shipping caps, and lubricant tubes for field assembly.

How to Install K1501 Series Deadbreak Junctions

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation and mounting of ELASTIMOLD K1501J2U-8, K1501J3U-8, and K1501J4U-8 deadbreak junctions on flat surfaces.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Wrench or Socket Set, Drill, Wire Strippers, Measuring Tape, Marking Tool

Supplies needed:

Suitable Fasteners (user-supplied), Ground Wire (user-supplied, sized appropriately), Hold-down Bails (supplied with elbow), Lubricant (included with junction), K1501 Series Deadbreak Junction (K1501J2U-8, K1501J3U-8, or K1501J4U-8), Universal Mounting Brackets (included with junction)

  1. De-energize Apparatus and Verify Safety

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of any part(s). Verify that all apparatus is de-energized before beginning the installation. Ensure all individual user, local, and national work rules are followed. Do not touch or move energized products.

  2. Prepare for Mounting

    Determine the desired mounting angle (adjustable from 0° through 45° above or below the horizontal in 15° increments) and the desired direction of the slotted bracket. Loosely attach the pre-assembled universal mounting brackets to the junction back plate. Place the junction assembly against the wall in the desired location and mark the slot locations on the wall for drilling.

  3. Mount Brackets to Wall

    Remove the slotted mounting brackets from the junction assembly. Attach the brackets securely to the wall using suitable fasteners (supplied by the user) at the marked locations. CAUTION: One or both of the mounting brackets can be reversed to change the distance required between bolt centers.

  4. Assemble Junction to Brackets

    Re-assemble the deadbreak junction to the slotted mounting brackets. Tighten all bolts securely to ensure no movement during operation. Verify that the parking stands are in an upright position.

  5. Connect System Ground

    Attach a suitable wire to the ground lug on the junction. Connect this wire to the system ground. Ensure the ground wire is sized to carry the rated fault current or the system fault current if less than the product rating.

  6. Attach Hold-Down Bails

    Attach the hold-down bails (supplied with the elbow connector) to the junction. All 200A deadbreak connectors must be mechanically secured with bails when connected.
