Overview

The ABB K656BLR-BIP is a 15/25 kV, 600 Amp Series Elbow, specifically a DeadBreak housing designed for robust electrical connections. This unit is supplied as a housing only, complete with a stud for secure attachment and a Basic Insulating Plug (BIP). It is engineered for applications requiring a reliable deadbreak connection in medium voltage systems. The 600 Amp rating ensures compatibility with standard load break applications. The DeadBreak design provides a fully shielded, submersible connection when properly mated with a corresponding bushing. The inclusion of the stud facilitates direct integration into switchgear and transformer terminations. The Basic Insulating Plug (BIP) is a key component for maintaining the integrity of the connection and ensuring proper insulation levels. This product is intended for use in power distribution networks where secure and safe termination of medium voltage cables is paramount. The SKU K656BLR-BIP identifies this specific configuration from ABB's Installation Products division. The absence of a seal indicates that sealing is to be handled by the mating component or application-specific requirements.
