Overview

The ABB K151SP-D0220 is a 200 Amp, 15/25kV deadbreak elbow connector engineered for reliable medium-voltage cable terminations in underground distribution systems. This straight plug configuration accommodates cable insulation diameters from 0.890 inch to 1.220 inch, making it compatible with conductor sizes including #2 AWG compressed stranded and solid #1 AWG (33.62 mm² equivalent). The unit features an aluminum compression lug for secure, low-resistance connections and is rated for deadbreak operation, enabling safe connection and disconnection under load conditions without de-energizing the system. Designed for utility substations, industrial power systems, and commercial facilities, the K151SP-D0220 meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 for separable insulated connectors. It supports 15kV and 25kV voltage classes with phase-to-ground operating voltages up to 8.3kV (15kV class) and 15.2kV (25kV class), respectively. The connector delivers 200 Amp continuous current with 10kA symmetrical momentary ratings for 10 cycles. Impulse withstand ratings are 95kV BIL (15kV class) and 125kV BIL (25kV class), ensuring robust protection against transient events. The fully shielded, fully submersible molded rubber housing is constructed with 100% peroxide-cured EPDM materials for long-term durability in harsh environments. A provision for ground wire connection enhances safety, while the wide cable range minimizes the need for multiple size-specific components. The K151SP-D0220 is compatible with Elastimold® accessories such as the K151T tee splice and K151SR straight receptacle, providing flexible system integration. Note that bail hardware is required for installation and must be ordered separately to match system requirements.

How to Install the K151SP Straight Plug

This guide provides instructions for installing the K151SP Straight Plug, designed to connect solid dielectric type cables to other ELASTIMOLD products on 15kV and 25kV class systems. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Rag, Approved solvent

Supplies needed:

Conductor Contact (female), Nylon Venting Rod, Lubricant, Inhibitor, ELASTIMOLD bail, Copper wire (#14 AWG or equivalent)

  1. Prepare Cable Jacket and Shield

    For Jacketed Concentric Neutral cable, cut and remove the cable jacket 8 inches from the cable end, ensuring sufficient concentric neutral wires for grounding. 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. Note: If using an ECS or MA grounding device, follow its specific instructions for outer jacket cut back.

  2. Prepare Cable Insulation and Conductor

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

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

  5. Lubricate Cable and Collar

    Slide the collar, smaller end first, onto each cable. Refer to the bailing instruction sheet. 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.

  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 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), taking care not to cut the rod. Insert the plug assembly into the receptacle as far as possible. Pull out the nylon rod. Secure the electrical connection with an ELASTIMOLD bail, referencing the Bailing Instruction Sheet (150TB-4).

  8. Connect Grounding Device

    If an ELASTIMOLD grounding device is not being used, connect a customer-supplied length of #14 AWG (or equivalent) copper wire through the grounding tab and twist tightly. 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.
