Overview

The ABB K655L2-M0330-S is a 600 Amp, 2-way deadbreak connector designed for medium-voltage cable systems rated at 15/25 kV. This deadbreak connector accommodates cable insulation diameters between 1.370 inch and 1.630 inch, making it suitable for 500 kcmil compressed stranded or 600 kcmil compacted solid aluminum conductors. The compression-style aluminum lug ensures a secure, low-resistance connection while maintaining compatibility with standard 600 Series equipment. This connector is engineered for deadbreak applications, allowing safe connection and disconnection under load without de-energizing the system. The cold-shrinkable jacket seal provides environmental protection against moisture, dust, and contaminants, ensuring long-term reliability in underground, vault, and pad-mounted installations. The deadbreak design eliminates the need for hot work permits, reducing installation time and improving safety for utility crews. Common applications include utility substations, switchgear, transformers, and cable terminations in medium-voltage distribution networks. The aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, while the compression lug design ensures consistent performance across repeated load cycles. This connector meets industry standards for medium-voltage cable accessories and is manufactured by ABB Installation Products, a leader in electrical connection solutions. Key specifications include: - Voltage rating: 15/25 kV - Current rating: 600 A - Conductor range: 500 kcmil (compressed stranded) or 600 kcmil (compacted solid) - Insulation diameter range: 1.370" to 1.630" - Material: Aluminum compression lug with cold-shrinkable jacket seal - Series: 600 Series This product is ideal for utilities, contractors, and industrial facilities requiring reliable, code-compliant medium-voltage cable connections with deadbreak functionality.
