Overview

The ABB K656LR-J0280 is a 15/25 kV, 600 Amp Series Deadbreak Elbow designed for reliable and safe termination of medium-voltage power cables in underground distribution systems and industrial power applications. This deadbreak elbow features a built-in test point for diagnostic testing without disrupting service, allowing for voltage verification and fault detection while the system remains energized. The unit includes a complete accessory kit consisting of an insulated plug, insulating cap, threaded stud, aluminum compression lug, and a cable adapter to ensure a secure and weatherproof connection. The integrated aluminum compression lug is engineered for low-resistance performance and is compatible with conductor sizes ranging from 250 kcmil (compressed or stranded) to 300 kcmil (compact or solid), providing flexibility for various cable configurations. The deadbreak design ensures that the connection is de-energized before separation, significantly enhancing safety for maintenance personnel by eliminating the risk of arc flash during disconnection. The cable adapter is specifically designed to accommodate cable insulation diameters between 0.980 inches and 1.180 inches, ensuring proper fit and sealing to maintain system integrity and prevent moisture ingress. Manufactured by ABB - Installation Products, this deadbreak elbow is part of the K656LR series, known for its durability and compliance with industry standards for medium-voltage cable terminations. The SKU for this product is K656LR-J0280, and it is classified under the UNSPSC Code 39121421, which identifies it as a medium-voltage cable termination component. The product’s design prioritizes both operational reliability and personnel safety, making it a trusted solution for critical power distribution environments.
