Overview

The ABB K465LR-K-240MMSQ is a 15/25kV, 630 Amp deadbreak elbow connector engineered for secure, insulated cable termination in medium-voltage applications. This deadbreak configuration eliminates the need for de-energizing the system during installation or maintenance, enhancing operational safety and reducing downtime. The connector accommodates cable insulation diameters from 1.090 inches to 1.310 inches (27.686–33.274mm), making it compatible with a wide range of medium-voltage cables. Designed for 240 mm² conductors, the K465LR-K-240MMSQ features a compression lug for a robust, low-resistance connection. The included components—elbow connector housing, compression lug, stud, insulated plug with cap, tube lubricant, cable adapter, installation instructions, and crimp chart—ensure a complete, ready-to-install solution. Ideal for utility, industrial, and commercial medium-voltage systems, this deadbreak elbow is suitable for applications such as switchgear, transformers, and cable terminations where reliable, maintenance-free connections are critical. The absence of a test point simplifies installation while maintaining full dielectric integrity. With a current rating of 630 Amps and voltage rating of 15/25kV, the K465LR-K-240MMSQ delivers dependable performance in demanding electrical environments.
