Overview

The ABB K656CY-DP0590523 15-25kV 600 Series Deadbreak Separable Wye Joint Package (3-Way) delivers reliable, high-current distribution in medium-voltage applications. Designed for 600A continuous current, this deadbreak joint supports aluminum compression lugs for conductor sizes ranging from 350-750 kcmil (compressed stranded) or 185-900 mm² (compacted solid). The package includes two M0380 connectors (1.370-1.630 inch insulation diameter) and one K0300 connector (1.090-1.310 inch insulation diameter), ensuring compatibility with a broad range of cable configurations. Engineered for underground and pad-mounted switchgear, this wye joint simplifies three-way branching in radial or looped distribution systems. The separable design allows for hot-stick operation and safe maintenance without de-energizing the entire circuit. The integrated test point enables quick verification of circuit integrity, reducing diagnostic time during outages or commissioning. Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum, the joint withstands harsh environmental conditions while maintaining low contact resistance for long-term reliability. Key applications include utility substations, commercial/industrial power distribution, renewable energy interconnections, and critical infrastructure projects. The 600 Series designation aligns with ABB’s proven deadbreak technology, offering a field-proven solution for medium-voltage networks up to 25kV. For installations requiring compliance with IEEE 386 standards, this joint provides the necessary dielectric strength and mechanical durability. Order by SKU K656CY-DP0590523 for precise fitment and performance in your 15-25kV system.
