Overview

The ABB K656LR-K2330 Series Deadbreak Elbow is a 15/25kV, 600 Amp deadbreak connector designed for reliable medium-voltage cable terminations. This elbow includes an integrated test point for safe voltage verification without service interruption, along with a full accessory kit: insulated plug, cap, stud, lug, and cable adapter. The unit accommodates cable insulation diameters from 1.090 inch to 1.310 inch and supports conductor sizes of 500 kcmil (compressed/stranded) or 600 kcmil (compact/solid), as well as 250/300 mm² compact conductors. The copper compression lug ensures low-resistance, high-integrity connections in medium-voltage distribution systems. This deadbreak elbow is ideal for underground residential and commercial power distribution, renewable energy interconnections, and industrial substations where safe, hot-stick operable terminations are required. The deadbreak design allows for connection and disconnection under load without de-energizing the system, reducing downtime during maintenance or reconfiguration. The integrated test point enables field verification of voltage presence or absence, enhancing safety and operational efficiency. The included accessories simplify installation and ensure compliance with industry standards for medium-voltage terminations.
