Overview

The ABB K650RTW 15/25kV 600 Series Deadbreak Reducing Tap Well is a high-current, deadbreak connector designed for medium-voltage distribution systems. Rated for 600/200 Amps, it provides a reliable tap point for branching 15/25kV cables in underground or overhead systems. The compact design measures 5.37 inches in length and 3 inches in width (excluding bracket), making it suitable for tight installation spaces. This deadbreak design ensures safe, hot-stick operable connections without de-energizing the system, reducing downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Compatible with 600A class equipment, the K650RTW supports both 15kV and 25kV class applications, including utility, industrial, and commercial power distribution networks. The reducing tap feature allows connection of smaller conductors to a larger main conductor, optimizing system flexibility. ABB’s 600 Series connectors are built for durability in harsh environments, with proven performance in field applications.
