Overview

ABB Installation Products 15-25kV 600 Series Deadbreak Separable Wye Joint Package (SKU: K656CY-H0260) is a 3-way deadbreak connector for medium-voltage cable systems. It accommodates cable insulation diameters from 0.850" to 1.050" and includes an aluminum compression lug compatible with conductor sizes AWG/kcmil compressed stranded 3/0, compacted solid 4/0, or mm² compact 95. The deadbreak design enables safe, load-break operation without live part exposure, ideal for underground/overhead distribution systems requiring maintenance or reconfiguration. It features a test point for voltage verification without cable disconnection, reducing downtime during commissioning or troubleshooting. Part of ABB’s 600 Series, this joint package supports hot-stick operation for safe installation/maintenance in energized environments. Use it for branching medium-voltage circuits, connecting lateral cables, or extending distribution lines in substations, switchgear, or pad-mounted transformers. The aluminum compression lug ensures long-term mechanical integrity and low-resistance electrical contact, minimizing heat generation and power loss.
