Overview

The ABB K650-J2-4 is a 15/25kV 600 Series Deadbreak 2-Point Junction designed for medium-voltage cable splicing and termination applications. This rubber junction provides a reliable, insulated connection point for two cables in underground or aerial distribution systems. Rated for 15kV and 25kV class systems, it ensures dielectric integrity and environmental protection in harsh utility environments. The deadbreak design allows for safe, load-break operation without interrupting service, making it ideal for maintenance and emergency repairs. Constructed from high-quality EPDM rubber, the junction resists ozone, UV, and moisture degradation while maintaining flexibility across temperature extremes. Compatible with 600 Series connectors, this junction supports copper or aluminum conductors and meets industry standards for medium-voltage applications. Typical uses include utility substations, switchgear, and overhead/underground distribution networks where reliable, insulated splices are critical.

How to Install the K650-J2-4 Deadbreak Junction (Universal Mount)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the K650-J2-4 two-, three-, or four-point deadbreak junction using the universal mount method. It covers mounting, assembly, and grounding procedures.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Wrench set, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Suitable fasteners (for mounting), Grounding wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded), HV insulated caps (if needed), ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant

  1. Ensure De-energization and Safety

    Before beginning installation, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. Failure to follow safety instructions can result in serious injury or death.

  2. Determine Mounting Location and Mark Slots

    Determine the desired location for the junction assembly. Use the base plate as a template, place it on the mounting surface, and mark the slot locations for drilling or fastener placement.

  3. Secure Two Universal Brackets

    Attach two universal brackets to the flat mounting surface using suitable fasteners. Tighten them securely to prevent any movement during operation.

  4. Assemble Remaining Universal Brackets

    Attach the remaining two universal brackets to the two brackets already mounted on the surface at the desired angle using the supplied hardware (3/8” hex head cap screw, external tooth lock washer, 3/8” hex nut). Tighten securely.

  5. Assemble Junction to Base Bracket and Plate

    Assemble the deadbreak junction to the base bracket assembly and base plate. Use two 1/2” hex head cap screws, two 1/2” split lock washers, and two 1/2” hex nuts, attaching them to the center mounting holes on the bracket assembly. Tighten securely.

  6. Mount Junction Assembly to Universal Brackets

    Attach the complete deadbreak junction assembly to the universal brackets using the supplied hardware (1/2” hex head cap screw, 1/2” split lock washer, 1/2” hex nut). Ensure the parking stand is in the upright position and tighten all fasteners securely.

  7. Ground the Junction Assembly

    The base bracket assembly and the junction’s black conductive jacket must be grounded. Connect a suitable grounding wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded) to the grounding lug provided on the base bracket for this purpose.

  8. Prepare for Operation

    Before energization, remove all protective shipping caps and clean the operating interfaces. Lubricate each interface with an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant. If not all operating interfaces are utilized, install appropriate HV insulated caps on the unused bushings. Do not use protective shipping caps for this purpose.
