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.
  • Amperage Rating: 200A continuous current rating supports demanding loadbreak switching duty on underground distribution circuits.
  • Loadbreak Elbow Design: LB configuration allows safe connect/disconnect of energized underground circuits using standard loadbreak switching procedures.
  • Lug Configuration: Configured for use with a bimetallic 1-hole lug (BIMET 1H LUG) termination that helps reduce galvanic corrosion risk at the connection point.
  • Conductor Compatibility: Lug sized to accept stranded conductors such as 2/0 STR for a proper mechanical fit and reliable electrical continuity.
  • Series Construction: Part of the Elastimold ELA series of separable connectors, built to the manufacturer's standard dimensional and electrical specifications for utility-grade medium-voltage service.
  • Separable Connector Interface: Elbow-style interface is designed to mate with standard loadbreak bushings and switchgear components used throughout underground distribution systems.

Elastimold 161LR-C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Elastimold 161LR-C loadbreak elbow accept 2/0 stranded cable?
Yes. The 161LR-C comes configured with a bimetallic 1-hole lug sized for stranded conductors up to 2/0 STR. If your cable is larger than 2/0, this is the wrong elbow - you need a connector built for that conductor range instead.
2) Can I disconnect an energized circuit with the Elastimold 161LR-C, or do I have to de-energize first?
It's a loadbreak elbow, so it is built for connecting and disconnecting energized underground circuits using standard loadbreak switching procedures with a hotstick. That is the difference between this and a deadbreak elbow, which must only be operated on a de-energized circuit.
3) Will this Elastimold elbow mate with the loadbreak bushing inserts on my existing switchgear?
The 161LR-C is a separable elbow-style connector intended to mate with standard 200A loadbreak bushings and switchgear components used in underground distribution. Match the interface by current class: a 200A loadbreak elbow goes on a 200A loadbreak bushing insert, not a 600A deadbreak bushing well.
4) Why does the 161LR-C use a bimetallic lug instead of a straight copper or aluminum one?
The bimetallic 1-hole lug lets you terminate aluminum conductor onto the copper-side connection without putting dissimilar metals in direct contact, which reduces galvanic corrosion at the termination. That is useful on URD runs where the cable is aluminum and the hardware is not.
5) What is the Elastimold 161LR-C actually used for on an underground distribution system?
It terminates a medium-voltage underground cable onto a loadbreak bushing - padmount transformers, switchgear, URD feeder and cable connections, and anywhere crews need to do loadbreak switching on a 15kV, 200A circuit. It is a cable termination and switching point, not a splice.
6) What part number do I order for the Elastimold 15kV 200A loadbreak elbow with a 1-hole bimetallic lug?
Order Elastimold 161LR-C. That is the single configuration: ELA series, 15kV, 200A loadbreak, bimetallic 1-hole lug for up to 2/0 STR, black.
