Overview

The ABB K655DSR-L0330 is a 25kV, 600 Amp deadbreak straight receptacle elbow designed for reliable medium-voltage cable connections. Rated for direct testing, this elbow accommodates cable insulation diameters from 1.180 to 1.465 inches and features an aluminum lug compatible with 500 stranded/compressed or 600 compact/solid conductors. At 17 inches long, it provides a compact yet robust solution for underground distribution systems. This deadbreak elbow is engineered for deadfront applications, ensuring safe operation when cables are energized. It mates directly with the ABB K650SRA plug, forming a secure, moisture-resistant interface that meets ANSI C119.4 standards for medium-voltage separable connectors. The aluminum lug construction ensures long-term conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the molded EPDM rubber housing delivers dielectric integrity and environmental protection. Common applications include utility substations, switchgear, and pad-mounted transformers where 25kV class cables require reliable, insulated terminations. The straight design simplifies installation in tight spaces, reducing labor time compared to angled alternatives. Compliance with IEEE 386 and UL 2225 standards ensures suitability for outdoor and indoor environments.
