Overview

The ABB K656CH-DP0593493 25kV Compact H Joint Kit is a high-reliability termination solution for medium-voltage power cables. This kit supports two cable insulation diameter ranges: size M (1.370–1.630 in) for 750 kcmil conductors with aluminum lugs, and size L (1.180–1.465 in) for 500 kcmil conductors with aluminum lugs. Designed for 25kV class applications, it includes a cold-shrinkable seal, copper rod, and crimp connector for secure, long-lasting installations. The kit’s compact design simplifies field assembly while ensuring consistent dielectric performance and environmental sealing. Ideal for utility, industrial, and commercial power distribution systems where space constraints and reliability are critical. Compatible with standard 750 kcmil and 500 kcmil aluminum conductors, this joint kit reduces installation time by eliminating heat-shrink or tape-based sealing methods. The aluminum lugs provide low-resistance terminations, and the integrated cold-shrink technology ensures a watertight seal without the need for torches or specialized tools.
