Overview

The ABB K465LR-H0260 is a 15/25kV, 630-amp deadbreak elbow connector designed for reliable medium-voltage cable terminations in industrial and utility applications. This deadbreak elbow (without test point) meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 (latest revision), ensuring compliance with critical electrical safety and performance requirements for underground and pad-mounted distribution systems. Key specifications include a cable insulation diameter range of 0.850–1.050 inches (21.590–26.670 mm), making it compatible with 3/0 stranded/compressed, 4/0 solid/compact conductors, or 95mm² cables. The compression lug is constructed from aluminum for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the elbow housing and components are manufactured from high-durability insulating polymers to withstand environmental stresses. The kit includes all necessary installation components: elbow connector housing, aluminum compression lug, mounting stud, insulated plug with cap, tube lubricant, cable adapter, detailed installation instructions, and a crimp chart for proper conductor sizing. This deadbreak design allows for safe, hot-stick operable connections without de-energizing the system, reducing downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Typical applications include underground residential distribution (URD), pad-mounted transformers, switchgear terminations, and secondary power distribution networks. The product’s compliance with ANSI/IEEE 386 ensures interoperability with other certified components in compliant systems. For precise installation, refer to the included crimp chart and follow ABB’s step-by-step guidelines to achieve optimal mechanical and electrical performance.
