Elastimold 162LR-C 15kV 200A Loadbreak Elbow Connector with Bimetallic 1-Hole Lug

The Elastimold 162LR-C is a 15kV, 200A loadbreak elbow connector engineered for dependable terminations on medium-voltage underground distribution systems. Part of the Elastimold ELA series of separable connectors, this elbow is built with a bimetallic 1-hole (BIMET 1H) lug sized to accept 2/0 STR stranded conductor for proper mechanical fit and electrical continuity. The loadbreak-rated, fully shielded elbow design allows crews to safely connect and disconnect energized underground circuits using standard loadbreak switching procedures. The 162LR-C is built to Elastimold's standard dimensional and electrical specifications for utility-grade medium-voltage service.

Key Features

  • Voltage Rating: 15kV rated construction for medium-voltage underground distribution applications.
  • Amperage Rating: 200A continuous current rating for loadbreak elbow service.
  • Loadbreak Elbow Design: Fully shielded LB configuration enables safe connection and disconnection of energized underground circuits using standard loadbreak switching procedures.
  • Lug Configuration: Bimetallic 1-hole (BIMET 1H LUG) termination helps reduce galvanic corrosion risk at the connection point.

Elastimold 162LR-C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What conductor size does the Elastimold 162LR-C elbow connector accept?
The lug on the 162LR-C is sized for 2/0 STR stranded conductor. It is a bimetallic one-hole lug, so the cable is bolted to the lug pad rather than crimped on. If your underground run is a different conductor size, you need a different elbow in the ELA series with a lug sized for that conductor, since the lug on this one is not interchangeable across sizes.
2) Can the 162LR-C be connected and disconnected while the circuit is energized?
Yes. The 162LR-C is a loadbreak elbow, which means crews can make and break the connection on an energized underground circuit using standard loadbreak switching procedures with a hotstick. A deadbreak elbow of the same voltage class cannot do that, it has to be de-energized and isolated first. If your operating practice calls for switching at the padmount without killing the feeder, loadbreak is the type you want.
3) Is a 200A loadbreak elbow enough for a padmount transformer termination?
The 162LR-C carries a 200A continuous rating, which is the standard class for URD and padmount transformer and switchgear terminations on 200A loadbreak bushings. If the equipment is built with 600A deadbreak bushing wells or interfaces, this elbow will not mate with it, you need a 600A class connector instead. Check the bushing rating on the transformer before ordering.
4) Why does the 162LR-C use a bimetallic lug instead of a plain copper or aluminum one?
The one-hole lug on the 162LR-C is bimetallic, so it can take an aluminum conductor on one side and bolt to a copper or tinned pad on the other without putting dissimilar metals in direct contact. That reduces galvanic corrosion at the termination, which matters in a vault or pedestal where moisture collects. For utilities running aluminum URD cable, this is the lug configuration that avoids a mixed-metal joint.
5) Is the 162LR-C elbow shielded for touch-safe use in an underground enclosure?
Yes, it is a fully shielded elbow design. The shielding is what allows it to be handled and operated in a padmount enclosure, pedestal, or vault as part of normal loadbreak switching rather than requiring an isolated dead-front barrier arrangement.
6) What is the Elastimold 162LR-C actually used for on an underground distribution system?
It terminates a medium-voltage underground cable onto a loadbreak bushing, typically at a padmount transformer or switchgear, on URD feeders and industrial distribution. The elbow is the separable connection point in the circuit, so it is also what crews operate when they need to sectionalize or isolate a segment of underground feeder. Order it matched to the conductor, since the lug accepts 2/0 STR.
7) Is the 162LR-C the same as an Elastimold ELA series part, or a different family?
The 162LR-C is an ELA series separable connector from Elastimold, ordered under manufacturer part number 162LR-C. The LR in the designation goes with its loadbreak configuration and the C suffix with the bimetallic one-hole lug build. If you are matching existing stock on a system, that full part number is what identifies this specific lug and conductor combination rather than an adjacent elbow in the same series.
