Overview

The ABB K1601WJ4-5 is a 15/25kV, 200 Amp loadbreak 4-way well junction designed for medium-voltage electrical distribution systems. This fully shielded, fully submersible molded rubber housing unit provides reliable power distribution and sectionalizing in utility and industrial applications. Constructed with 100% peroxide-cured insulation and conductive EPDM materials, the junction ensures long-term durability and performance in demanding environments. Key specifications include a continuous and loadbreak current rating of 200 Amps, with a momentary and fault close rating of 10kA symmetrical for 10 cycles. For 15kV class systems, the unit meets an operating voltage of 8.3kV phase-to-ground (14.4kV max phase-to-phase), 95kV BIL impulse withstand, 34kV AC one-minute withstand, and 53kV DC 15-minute withstand. For 25kV class systems, it supports 15.2kV max phase-to-ground (26.3kV max phase-to-phase), 125kV BIL impulse withstand, 40kV AC one-minute withstand, and 78kV DC 15-minute withstand. Corona extinction is rated at 3pC sensitivity for both voltage classes. The K1601WJ4-5 is designed to mate with Elastimold® Elbow connectors through a variety of inserts, including models 1601A4, 2701A4, 1602A3R, and 276BWP. The unit includes a replaceable stud (available separately as 1000-150) and is supplied with U-straps and two back plates for front or back surface mounting. A tube of lubricant (82-08) and installation instructions (IS-0443) are also included for ease of installation. This loadbreak junction is ideal for applications requiring safe disconnection of circuits under load, such as utility substations, industrial power distribution, and renewable energy systems. Its fully shielded and submersible design ensures reliable operation in wet or harsh conditions, making it a critical component for medium-voltage networks.

How to Install the K1601WJ4-5 Two--, Three--, and Four--Point Well Junctions

Installation guide for mounting and wiring the K1601WJ4-5 well junctions. These junctions are used for sectionalizing, looping, tapping, or apparatus change out.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Drill, Screwdriver, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Mounting hardware, Grounding lug (if mounting surface is insulating), 14 AWG minimum ground wire, Silicone lubricant

  1. Determine location and drill mounting holes

    Select the desired location for the junction assembly. Drill holes in the mounting surface according to the dimensions provided in the documentation. Ensure the holes are the correct diameter for mounting.

  2. Assemble and mount the well junction

    Assemble the well junction, shield plate, and hold down brackets using the supplied fasteners. Attach the assembly to the flat mounting surface. Tighten all fasteners securely to prevent movement during operation.

  3. Ground the assembly

    Ensure the shield plate, hold down brackets, and black conductive rubber shield are properly grounded. If the mounting surface is conductive and grounded, no additional grounding is needed. If the mounting surface is insulating, attach a grounding lug (not provided) with one of the mounting bolts and connect a 14 AWG minimum ground wire to the lug and a ground bus.

  4. Prepare for operation

    Remove any protective shipping caps from the operating interfaces and clean them. Apply silicone lubricant (do not substitute) to the operating interfaces before assembly with an ELASTIMOLD product. If not all operating interfaces will be utilized, install an ELASTIMOLD insulated cap or insulated plug on the unused interface(s) before energization. Do not use the protective shipping covers for this purpose.
