Overview

The ABB K151SR-C0220 is a 200 ampere, 15/25 kV deadbreak elbow connector designed for reliable medium-voltage cable terminations in underground distribution systems. This straight receptacle model features an aluminum compression lug for secure conductor termination and supports cable insulation diameters between 0.805 inch and 1.060 inch. The unit is rated for compressed stranded #2 AWG or solid #1 AWG conductors, equivalent to 33.62 mm² cross-sectional area, ensuring compatibility with standard medium-voltage cable sizes used in utility and industrial applications. This deadbreak elbow is part of ABB's K151SR series, optimized for deadfront switchgear and pad-mounted transformers where load-break operations are not required. The compression lug design provides low-resistance connections, reducing heat generation and improving system efficiency. Note that mounting bails are required for installation but must be ordered separately to match specific application requirements. Common applications include underground residential distribution (URD), commercial power systems, and industrial facilities requiring safe, insulated cable terminations. The deadbreak design allows for safe connection and disconnection under load without exposing live components, enhancing worker safety during maintenance operations. The aluminum construction ensures corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in outdoor and harsh environments. Key specifications: 200 A continuous current rating, 15/25 kV voltage rating, and compatibility with 0.805-1.060 inch cable insulation diameters. The compression lug accepts #2 AWG compressed stranded or #1 AWG solid conductors, providing flexibility for various cable configurations. This product meets utility-grade standards for medium-voltage cable accessories, ensuring compliance with industry safety and performance requirements.

How to Install the K151SR/151SR Straight Receptacle

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing the cable, crimping the conductor, and installing the K151SR/151SR Straight Receptacle for high-voltage electrical connections.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

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

Supplies needed:

K151SR/151SR Straight Receptacle, Conductor Contact (male), Nylon Venting Rod, Lubricant (supplied), Crimp Chart, #14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent), Elastimold bail, Silicone grease

  1. De-energize and Prepare for Safety

    Before beginning, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Verify the absence of voltage using appropriate testing equipment. Read the entire installation instructions and gather all required tools and supplies. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating products. Failure to follow these safety instructions will result in serious or fatal injury.

  2. Prepare the Cable Jacket and Shield

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

  3. Remove Insulation and Crimp Conductor Contact

    Remove 7/8 inch to 1 inch (or 1 3/4 inches to 1 7/8 inches for #1 stranded/compr. and #1/0 comp./solid aluminum cable) of cable insulation and conductive shield. Cut the insulation squarely; do not pencil. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately insert them into the crimp barrel, which contains inhibitor. Crimp the socket terminal onto the bared conductor, ensuring it remains fully seated. Start crimps at the crimp line and rotate each successive crimp 90 degrees. Refer to the supplied crimp chart. If using aluminum cable, carefully wipe excess inhibitor from the contact and cable insulation.

  4. Prepare Insulation and Clean Cable

    Remove the semi-conductive shield 7 9/16 inches to 7 5/8 inches back from the end of the pin with a straight, smooth, 'squared' cut. DO NOT CUT OR NICK THE INSULATION. 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. If using an ECS or MA grounding device, install it now following its instructions.

  5. Lubricate and Insert Cable into Receptacle

    Remove the protective cap from the straight receptacle, keeping the cable insulation and receptacle 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. Push the cable into the housing until the base of the pin chamfer is flush with the inside face of the receptacle. If the receptacle is not to be immediately connected, replace the protective cover (note: this cover is for dirt protection only and is not an insulating device; use an Elastimold insulating plug K150DP if insulation is required).

  6. Connect to Mating Plug (if applicable)

    To connect to a mating plug, first 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, then pull out the nylon rod. Secure the electrical connection with an Elastimold bail.

  7. Ground the Cable

    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.
