Overview

The ABB K650SRA is a 15/25kV 600A deadbreak straight receptacle adapter designed to convert an IEEE 386 bushing interface to accept a K655BSR straight receptacle connector. This fully shielded, submersible molded rubber housing adapter ensures reliable medium-voltage cable system connections in industrial, utility, and commercial power distribution systems. The deadbreak design allows safe connection and disconnection under load without exposing live conductors, reducing arc hazards and improving worker safety during maintenance. The straight receptacle configuration simplifies installation in tight spaces or where angular terminations are impractical. The adapter meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 (latest revision) with ratings for 15kV and 25kV voltage classes, including 8.3kV/16.2kV max phase-to-ground operating voltage, 14.4kV/28kV max phase-to-phase, 95kV/140kV BIL impulse withstand, and 600A continuous current. It supports 25kA symmetrical momentary current for 10 cycles. The 100% peroxide-cured construction includes insulation and conductive EPDM materials for dielectric integrity. Each kit includes a bushing converter contact, lubricant tube, bushing adapter, bolt, and installation instructions.
