Overview

The ABB VSGADCP-35 is a 35kV, 600 Amp deadbreak grounding device (GAD) designed for safe, reliable circuit grounding in medium-voltage power distribution systems. This Elastimold® product features EPDM peroxide insulation with a conductive jacket and painted contact surface, ensuring proper grounding and electrical continuity. The unit includes a removable protective cap with a capacitive test point to verify voltage absence before grounding operations, enhancing safety during maintenance and emergency shutdowns. Key specifications include a 600 Amp continuous current rating and a 25kA symmetrical momentary rating (10 cycles). The VSGADCP-35 meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 requirements, with voltage withstand ratings of 34kV AC (1 minute) and 53kV DC (15 minutes). Corona extinction is tested at 11kV AC (3pC sensitivity), and impulse withstand is rated at 95kV BIL (1.2 x 50 microsecond wave). The grounding device connects to the back interface of 600A series elbow connectors (T-body) to provide a permanent, direct ground connection. The included silicone lubricant simplifies installation by reducing friction during mating. Dimensions are 7.633 inches in length with a maximum diameter of 3 inches. Applications include medium-voltage switchgear, transformers, and cable terminations in utilities, industrial facilities, and commercial installations. The conductive jacket ensures proper grounding and electrical continuity, while the painted contact surface enhances corrosion resistance for long-term performance in demanding electrical environments.
