Overview

The ABB K655LRTP-H0240-DRG Stick-Op Connector Kit is a 600 Amp, 25kV medium-voltage compression connector designed for reliable, deadfront-safe terminations in utility, industrial, and commercial power distribution systems. This kit includes an aluminum compression lug compatible with cable insulation diameters from 0.850" to 1.050", supporting compressed stranded 1/0 AWG or compacted solid 2/0 conductors. The integrated insulated cap meets NEC requirements for exposed terminations, reducing phase-to-phase and ground fault risks in both indoor and outdoor installations. Engineered to ANSI/IEEE Standard 386, the K655LRTP-H0240-DRG delivers a 15.2kV maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage and 26.3kV phase-to-phase rating, with a 125kV BIL impulse withstand and 40kV AC one-minute withstand. The connector supports 600 Amp continuous current and 25kA symmetrical momentary current for 10 cycles, making it suitable for feeder circuits up to 25kV in substations, underground vaults, pad-mounted transformers, switchgear, and motor control centers. The Stick-Op design eliminates the need for separate heat or cold-shrink components, simplifying installation while ensuring a gas-tight seal that resists moisture ingress and corrosion. The all-copper current path and peroxide-cured EPDM molded rubber construction provide long-term conductivity with minimal thermal expansion, while the compression design ensures consistent performance under load cycling. The kit includes a hex-broach for torque installation, silicone lubricant, and a cable adapter for compatibility with a range of conductor sizes and insulation diameters. Typical applications include renewable energy interconnections, primary distribution lines, and medium-voltage terminations requiring environmental and load cycling resistance. The connector’s deadfront construction reduces space requirements, a critical factor at higher voltage levels, and allows direct testing and grounding without cable movement. Installation requires standard compression tools per ABB torque specifications.

How to Install the ELASTIMOLD 273/375DRG(3) Insulated Cap with Ground Lead

This guide provides instructions for safely installing the ELASTIMOLD 273/375DRG(3) Insulated Cap with Ground Lead onto de-energized 25kV or 35kV class loadbreak bushing interfaces, ensuring proper insulation, shielding, and watersealing. Installation must be performed by competent personnel using appropriate safety practices and tools.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Hotstick (minimum 8 ft)

Supplies needed:

ELASTIMOLD 273/375DRG(3) Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, Lubricant (supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved), Protective Cover (for storage)

  1. Connect Electrostatic Grounding Wire

    Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground, ensuring enough slack for hot-stick operation of the insulated cap. CAUTION: Train the electrostatic grounding wire so it does not contact the bushing interface during operation. WARNING: If the ground lead disconnects during operation, do not attempt to reattach without first pulling the insulated cap off the bushing with the hotstick. All apparatus must be de-energized during installation.

  2. Prepare Insulated Cap

    Remove the protective cover from the insulated cap. Lubricate the cap's internal mating surface using only the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants. Do not substitute, as other lubricants may be harmful to this product and its mating products. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime. Always replace the protective cover when not in use.

  3. Attach Insulated Cap to Bushing

    Firmly attach a hotstick (minimum 8 ft recommended) to the insulated cap pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing, and push it home with a fast, firm, straight motion. Make certain it is fully mated, with the locking ring seated. Detach the hotstick from the insulated cap. Do not touch or move energized products.
