Overview

The ABB K656CETP-L0330 is a deadbreak combo elbow connector designed for 25kV, 600 Amp applications. This unit integrates a 200 Amp loadbreak tap plug with a test point, enabling safe and efficient loadbreak operations without de-energizing the system. The connector accommodates cable insulation diameters between 1.180 and 1.465 inches (30.0 to 37.2 mm), making it compatible with a range of medium-voltage cables. Constructed from aluminum, the K656CETP-L0330 supports conductor codes 330 through 500 stranded/compressed or 600 solid/compact configurations. This versatility ensures reliable performance across various conductor types and sizes commonly used in industrial and utility applications. The absence of a sealing kit simplifies installation while maintaining compliance with industry standards for deadbreak connectors. Ideal for underground distribution systems, this combo elbow is widely used in pad-mounted transformers, switchgear, and junction enclosures. Its design facilitates hot-stick operation, allowing for safe and efficient maintenance without service interruption. The integral test point enables quick voltage verification, reducing diagnostic time and improving operational safety. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, the K656CETP-L0330 meets stringent utility-grade requirements for reliability and durability in medium-voltage networks.
