Overview

The ABB K465LR-J0290 is a deadbreak elbow connector engineered for medium-voltage cable systems operating at 15/25 kV with a continuous current rating of 630 A. This fully shielded, submersible connector accommodates cable insulation diameters between 0.980 inch and 1.180 inch (24.892-29.972 mm), making it suitable for 300 stranded/compressed or 350 solid/compact conductors, as well as 150 mm² cross-sections. The unit includes an aluminum compression lug for reliable conductivity and mechanical strength, ensuring long-term performance in underground and pad-mounted distribution systems. The deadbreak design enables safe, hot-line maintenance without interrupting service, reducing downtime during installations or repairs. The kit includes all necessary components: elbow connector housing, compression lug, stud, insulated plug with cap, tube lubricant, cable adapter, installation instructions, and crimp chart. This eliminates guesswork during installation and ensures proper assembly. Common applications include utility substations, switchgear, transformers, and underground residential or commercial distribution networks. The aluminum compression lug provides superior corrosion resistance and conductivity compared to copper alternatives in moist or chemically aggressive environments. The integrated test point absence (as specified) simplifies design while maintaining operational safety. For systems requiring reliable, maintenance-free medium-voltage connections, the ABB K465LR-J0290 delivers consistent performance with minimal risk of failure.
