Overview

The ABB 650ETP is a 15kV, 600 Amp Series Loadbreak Elbow Tap Plug designed for medium-voltage electrical distribution systems. This component enables a 200 Amp tap off a mating 600 Amp connector, providing a reliable loadbreak interface for energized operation. The 650ETP meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 and is rated for 8.3kV phase-to-ground and 14.4kV phase-to-phase operating voltage. It features a 95kV BIL impulse withstand rating, 34kV AC one-minute withstand, and 53kV DC 15-minute withstand. The loadbreak interface supports 200 Amp continuous and loadbreak operation with a 10kA symmetrical 10-cycle momentary rating. The deadbreak interface handles 600 Amp continuous and 25kA symmetrical 10-cycle momentary rating. The 650ETP includes a hex-broach for torque-controlled installation and peroxide-cured insulation/jacket for durability. It is installed using the 600ATM assembly tool and mates with products such as 167DR, 167ESA-XX, and 165LR series connectors. Available configurations include factory-assembled stud (add 'SP' suffix) or loose stud (add 'S' suffix). This product is essential for creating secure, insulated tap connections in medium-voltage power distribution systems.

How to Install the 650/675 ETP Elbow Tap Plug

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing the 650/675 ETP Elbow Tap Plug, designed to provide a 200 ampere loadbreak tap at system voltage. Ensure all safety precautions are followed during installation.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Torque wrench, Drive adapter, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

650/675 ETP Elbow Tap Plug, Lubricant (supplied), Double-ended stud (if applicable), #14AWG copper wire, Grounding connector, Waterproofing material

  1. Perform Pre-Installation Checks and Safety Measures

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Do not touch or move energized products in the work area. Inspect all package contents for completeness and damage, and verify all components fit properly with the cable and/or mating products. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices.

  2. Prepare Cable and Install Elbow Connector

    Prepare the cable using a spade contact and install the elbow according to the (K)650LR or 750LR installation instructions. Before crimping, align the spade contact on the cable so it lies flat on the apparatus bushing contact.

  3. Prepare Tap Plug and Connectors

    Remove the protective caps from both the elbow connector and the tap plug. If applicable, hand-tighten the double-ended stud into the tap plug. Thoroughly clean and then lubricate the entire mating connector interface, elbow connector interfaces, and the tap plug using only the supplied lubricant or an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant.

  4. Assemble Elbow and Tap Plug

    Assemble the elbow connector onto the mating connector. Then, assemble the tap plug into the elbow connector. Insert the drive adapter into the tap plug and turn it clockwise while simultaneously pushing the elbow and tap plug towards the mating connector. Continue rotating the drive adapter clockwise with an appropriate tool to achieve a torque of 50-60 ft-lbs. Finally, remove the drive adapter from the tap plug.

  5. Install Grounding Eye Wire

    Insert one end of a length of #14AWG copper wire (or equivalent) through the grounding eye of the elbow. Leave sufficient length to allow for potential movement of the elbow. Form a small loop and twist it tightly, being careful not to damage the grounding eye.

  6. Connect Cable Shield and Grounding Eye Wire to Ground

    For concentric wire shielded cable, twist the shield wires together and connect them, along with the grounding eye wire, to a common ground point using an appropriate connector. Ensure sufficient length for elbow movement. For metallic tape shielded cable, connect the metallic shield to ground using a jumper of equivalent ampacity, and connect the elbow connector grounding eye wire to ground. Install appropriate waterproofing at the jacket terminus to prevent moisture ingress for both cable types.

  7. Install Mating Component to Tap Plug

    Clean and lubricate the entire tap plug interface. Then, install a DR(G), ESA, GLR, or LR of the appropriate voltage class to the tap plug interface, following the specific instructions provided with that product. Use only the supplied lubricant or an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant.

  8. Verify Full Seating

    Confirm the complete assembly of an insulated cap or elbow by visually checking that no portion of the yellow band is visible when viewed from the side. This indicates full seating.
