Overview

The ABB K650RTP 600 Series Deadbreak Reducing Tap Plug is a medium-voltage cable accessory designed for 15/25kV systems. This deadbreak plug supports a continuous current rating of 600A on the main line and 200A on the tap line, making it suitable for distribution transformers, switchgear, and pad-mounted transformers. The plug features a deadbreak interface, allowing connections to be made and broken under load without de-energizing the system, which reduces downtime during maintenance or reconfiguration. It is rated for 15kV phase-to-ground and 25kV phase-to-phase, meeting ANSI C119.4 and IEEE 386 standards for deadbreak connectors. The design includes a reducing feature to accommodate smaller tap conductors while maintaining full-rated performance. Typical applications include utility substations, commercial and industrial power distribution, and renewable energy systems where medium-voltage cable tapping is required. The plug is constructed with high-quality EPDM rubber for environmental resistance and a tin-plated copper alloy contact for long-term conductivity. Installation requires standard tools and follows ABB’s documented procedures for deadbreak connectors. The K650RTP is part of ABB’s Installation Products portfolio, ensuring compatibility with ABB’s broader medium-voltage system components.
