Overview

ABB K151SP-C0250 is a 200 Amp, 15/25kV deadbreak elbow connector designed for reliable medium-voltage cable terminations. This straight plug connector features a deadbreak interface, allowing safe connection and disconnection under load without interrupting service. The unit accommodates cable insulation diameters from 0.805 inch to 1.060 inch, making it compatible with a range of medium-voltage cables. The integrated aluminum compression lug supports conductor sizes from 2/0 AWG compressed stranded to 3/0 AWG solid, or 67.43 mm², ensuring versatility for various installation requirements. This deadbreak elbow is constructed for use in underground distribution systems, pad-mounted transformers, switchgear, and other medium-voltage applications where safe, load-break connections are required. The straight plug design simplifies installation in tight spaces while maintaining electrical integrity. Note that installation requires separate ordering of bails, which are not included. Designed for medium-voltage systems up to 25kV, this connector meets industry standards for deadbreak operation, providing a secure, insulated interface that minimizes risk of arcing or electrical faults. Its robust construction supports long-term reliability in outdoor and indoor environments, including utility, industrial, and commercial installations.

How to Install the K151SP Straight Plug

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the K151SP Straight Plug, designed for connecting solid dielectric type cables to one another or to electrical apparatus on 15kV and 25kV class systems.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Cable cutting tool, Cable jacket stripping tool, Insulation stripping tool, Wire brush, Crimping tool, Rag

Supplies needed:

K151SP Straight Plug, Conductor Contact (female), Nylon Venting Rod, Lubricant (supplied with product), Plastic Pin, Approved solvent, Silicone grease, ELASTIMOLD bail (if used), #14 AWG copper wire (customer supplied, if no ELASTIMOLD grounding device), Sealing material (for grounding wires)

  1. Observe Safety Precautions and Prepare Cable

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage safety practices. Inspect all parts for damage, rating, and compatibility. For jacketed concentric neutral cable, cut and remove the cable jacket 8 inches from the end, allowing sufficient neutral wires for grounding. For copper tape shield cable, cut and remove the cable jacket 7-1/2 inches from the end, then remove the copper tape shield 6-1/2 inches from the cable end.

  2. Prepare Cable Insulation and Conductor

    Remove 7/8 inch to 1 inch of cable insulation and conductive shield. For #1 stranded/compressed and #1/0 compressed/solid aluminum cable, remove 1-3/4 inches to 1-7/8 inches. Cut squarely, do not pencil. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately insert them into the crimp barrel, which contains inhibitor.

  3. Crimp the Socket Terminal

    Crimp the socket terminal onto the bared conductor, holding the crimp barrel against the cable insulation. Refer to the crimp chart provided with the contact. Start crimps at the crimp line imprinted on the barrel and rotate each successive crimp or indent 90 degrees. Carefully wipe any excess inhibitor from the contact and cable insulation.

  4. Prepare Semi-Conductive Shield and Clean Insulation

    Temporarily remove the plastic pin. 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, always wiping from the end of the cable toward the outer jacket.

  5. Lubricate Cable and Position Collar

    Slide the collar, smaller end first, onto each cable. Keep the cable insulation and plug clean. Apply the supplied lubricant sparingly to the cable as shown and to the inside of the housing. Do not substitute other lubricants, as they may be harmful to the product or its mating product.

  6. Install 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.

  7. Connect to a 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 the aid of an ELASTIMOLD bail, referencing the Bailing Instruction Sheet (150TB-4).

  8. Connect System Ground (if applicable)

    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. Then, connect the grounding assembly of the connector to the system ground by merging it with the cable shield of each cable. Seal the grounding wires and connections to prevent corrosion.
