Elastimold 161LR-C Loadbreak Elbow Connector, 15kV 200A

Elastimold 161LR-C Loadbreak Elbow Connector, 15kV 200A

The Elastimold 161LR-C is a 15kV, 200A loadbreak elbow connector from the Elastimold ELA Series of separable connectors engineered for medium-voltage underground distribution systems. Built within the 15/35kV voltage class shared across the ELA elbow family, this loadbreak elbow is designed for the safe connection and disconnection of energized underground circuits using standard loadbreak switching procedures. The 161LR-C is configured for use with a bimetallic 1-hole (BIMET 1H) lug termination sized for stranded conductors such as 2/0 STR, providing a dependable, utility-grade connection point for underground residential distribution (URD) and padmount transformer systems. As part of Elastimold's separable connector line, the 161LR-C is built to the manufacturer's standard dimensional and electrical specifications for medium-voltage utility service.

Key Features

• Voltage Class: Rated 15kV within the 15/35kV voltage class shared across the Elastimold ELA elbow family for medium-voltage underground distribution applications.
