Overview

The ABB K151SP-C0240 is a 15/25kV, 200 Amp deadbreak straight plug engineered for reliable medium-voltage cable terminations. Designed for use with underground distribution (UD) cables featuring concentric neutral and extruded insulation shielding, this plug ensures secure electrical connections in critical power distribution systems. The K151SP-C0240 accommodates cable insulation diameters from 0.805 inches to 1.060 inches and supports conductor sizes up to 1/0 AWG (compressed stranded) or 2/0 AWG (solid), equivalent to 53.49 mm². Its fully shielded, fully submersible molded rubber housing provides robust environmental protection, while the 100% peroxide-cured EPDM construction delivers long-term dielectric integrity and resistance to moisture ingress. The aluminum compression lug ensures reliable conductor termination, and the plug includes provision for ground wire connection for enhanced safety. This deadbreak straight plug is designed to mate with compatible Elastimold® products such as the K151T tee splice and K151SR straight receptacle, enabling flexible system configurations. Note: Bails are required for installation but must be ordered separately. The K151SP-C0240 meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386, with voltage ratings of 8.3kV phase-to-ground and 14.4kV phase-to-phase for 15kV class, and 15.2kV phase-to-ground and 26.3kV phase-to-phase for 25kV class.

How to Install the K151SP Straight Plug

Comprehensive guide for preparing cables and installing the K151SP Straight Plug for 15kV and 25kV class systems, ensuring proper connection and grounding. This product connects solid dielectric type cables to other Elastimold products.

Tools needed:

Wire brush, Crimping tool, Rag, Approved solvent

Supplies needed:

K151SP Straight Plug, Conductor Contact (female), Nylon Venting Rod, Lubricant (supplied with kit), Collar, Silicone grease, ELASTIMOLD bail, #14 AWG or equivalent copper wire, Sealing material, Solid dielectric type cable

  1. Prepare Cable End

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before starting installation. For Jacketed Concentric Neutral cable: Cut and remove the cable jacket 8 inches from the cable end. Allow sufficient concentric neutral wires for connecting to a ground point. For Copper Tape Shield cable: Cut and remove the cable jacket 7-1/2 inches from the cable end. Then, remove the copper tape shield 6-1/2 inches from the end of the cable. If using an ECS or MA grounding device, follow its specific instructions for outer jacket cut back.

  2. Prepare Conductor and Crimp Terminal

    Remove 7/8 inch to 1 inch (or 1-3/4 inches to 1-7/8 inches for #1 stranded/compressed and #1/0 compressed/solid aluminum cable) of cable insulation and conductive shield, cutting squarely. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately insert them into the crimp barrel containing inhibitor. Crimp the socket terminal onto the bared conductor, holding the crimp barrel against the cable insulation. Start crimps at the crimp line and rotate each successive crimp 90 degrees. Wipe excess inhibitor from the contact and cable insulation.

  3. Prepare Semi-Conductive Shield and Clean

    Temporarily remove the plastic pin from the socket. Remove the semi-conductive shield to a point 7-3/4 inches to 7-13/16 inches back from the end of the socket with a straight, smooth, squared cut. Do not cut or nick the insulation. Replace the plastic pin. Pencil the insulation 1/8 inch. Clean the outer jacket and thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of semi-conducting residue by wiping with a rag wet with an approved solvent, from the cable end toward the outer jacket. If using an ECS or MA grounding device, install it according to its instructions.

  4. Lubricate Cable and Install Collar

    Slide the collar, smaller end first, onto the cable. Keep the cable insulation and plug clean. Apply the supplied lubricant sparingly to the cable and to the inside of the housing. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants as they may be harmful to the product.

  5. Insert Cable into Housing

    Push the cable into the housing until the leading edge of the socket contact is flush with the front edge of the plug. Remove the plastic pin from the socket and discard it.

  6. Connect to Mating Receptacle

    Lubricate the nose of the plug with silicone grease. Place the nylon rod into the receptacle face until it bottoms (approximately 1-3/4 inches), ensuring the rod is not cut. Insert the plug assembly into the receptacle as far as possible. Pull out the nylon rod. Secure the electrical connection with an ELASTIMOLD bail. CAUTION: A bailing arrangement is required when this product is used with any mating Elastimold deadbreak product.

  7. Ground the Connector

    If an ELASTIMOLD grounding device is not being used, connect a length of #14 AWG (or equivalent) copper wire (customer supplied) through the grounding tab and twist tightly. Connect this grounding assembly to the system ground by merging it with the cable shield of each cable. Seal the grounding wires and connections to prevent corrosion.
