Overview

The ABB 600 Series 15-25kV 3-Way Deadbreak Insulated Bus Bar with Test Point (SKU: K656CYSL-BUS) is a high-voltage, deadbreak-rated bus bar designed for reliable 60 Hz electrical distribution in medium-voltage systems. This 3-pole insulated bus bar provides a secure, deadfront connection solution for underground and overhead distribution networks, switchgear, and pad-mounted transformers. The deadbreak design allows for safe, energized connections and disconnections without de-energizing the system, reducing downtime during maintenance or upgrades. The integrated test point enables quick voltage verification without removing the bus bar, while the spiking aid simplifies installation and ensures proper alignment of conductors. Rated for 15-25kV, this bus bar is built for compatibility with industry-standard 600 Series components, ensuring seamless integration into existing ABB and third-party systems. The insulated construction provides dielectric strength and protection against environmental contaminants, making it suitable for outdoor and indoor applications in utility, industrial, and commercial installations. The 3-way configuration supports branching of circuits, optimizing space and reducing the need for additional junction hardware.
