Overview

The ABB K650J4-6 is a 15/25kV, 600A 4-point deadbreak junction designed for medium-voltage cable systems in utility, industrial, and commercial applications. This hardware package includes stainless steel mounting brackets and straps, providing essential structural support for deadbreak connections in underground, vault, padmount, and subsurface installations. Key specifications include a continuous current rating of 600A with a momentary rating of 25kA symmetrical for 10 cycles. The junction supports both 15kV and 25kV voltage classes, meeting ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 requirements. For the 15kV class, it handles a maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage of 8.3kV and phase-to-phase voltage of 14.4kV, with a basic impulse level (BIL) of 95kV. For the 25kV class, it supports 16.2kV phase-to-ground and 28kV phase-to-phase, with a BIL of 140kV. The fully shielded, fully submersible molded rubber housing is constructed from 100% peroxide-cured EPDM materials, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments. The deadbreak design allows for safe, insulated disconnection under load, minimizing downtime during maintenance or reconfiguration. The junction is compatible with Elastimold® 600A Series Elbow connectors, including models K655, K655BE, and 655BEA3, enabling seamless integration into existing medium-voltage distribution networks. Applications include sectionalizing, looping, tapping, and equipment bypass in subsurface vaults, padmount enclosures, and overhead distribution systems. The stainless steel mounting bracket and back plate allow for secure installation on flat surfaces, while the included protective caps (650PPC-01) and lubricant tubes (82-08) ensure proper installation and maintenance. Each kit includes the molded junction body, mounting hardware, installation instructions (IS-0207), and protective components for immediate deployment.

How to Install a K650J4-6 Deadbreak Junction (Universal Mount)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing a K650J4-6 two-, three-, or four-point deadbreak junction using the universal mount method. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized and installation is performed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Wrench/Socket Set (for 3/8" and 1/2" hex nuts/screws), Wire Strippers

Supplies needed:

Deadbreak Junction, Base Bracket, Base Plate, Universal Brackets, Mounting Hardware Prepack, Suitable Fasteners (for initial bracket mounting), Grounding Wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded), ELASTIMOLD Approved Lubricant, HV Insulated Caps

  1. Determine Mounting Location and Mark Slots

    Ensure all apparatus are de-energized. Select the desired location for the junction assembly. Use the base plate as a template, place it on the mounting surface, and mark all slot locations for drilling or fastener placement.

  2. Attach Initial Universal Brackets

    Secure two (2) universal brackets to the flat mounting surface using suitable fasteners. Tighten these fasteners securely to prevent any movement during operation.

  3. Attach Remaining Universal Brackets

    Connect the remaining two (2) universal brackets to the two (2) universal brackets already mounted on the surface. Position them at the desired angle and secure them using the supplied hardware (3/8" hex head cap screw, external tooth lock washer, and 3/8" hex nut). Tighten securely.

  4. Assemble Junction to Base Bracket and Base Plate

    Attach the deadbreak junction to the base bracket assembly and base plate. Use two (2) 1/2" hex head cap screws, two (2) 1/2" split lock washers, and two (2) 1/2" hex nuts, securing them to the center mounting holes on the bracket assembly. Tighten securely.

  5. Mount Junction Assembly to Universal Brackets

    Attach the assembled deadbreak junction to the universal brackets using the supplied hardware (1/2" hex head cap screw, 1/2" split lock washer, and 1/2" hex nut). Ensure the parking stand is in the upright position before tightening securely.

  6. Ground the Assembly

    Connect a grounding wire (accommodating No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded) to the grounding lug provided on the base bracket. Ensure that both the base bracket assembly and the junction's black conductive jacket are properly grounded.

  7. Prepare Operating Interfaces

    Remove all protective shipping caps from the operating interfaces and clean them thoroughly. Lubricate each interface with an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant; do not substitute. If any operating interfaces are not utilized, install appropriate HV insulated caps on the unused bushings before energizing the circuit.
