How to Install the 650/675 ETP Elbow Tap Plug
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the 650/675 ETP Elbow Tap Plug, including cable preparation, component assembly, and grounding procedures for high-voltage systems.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Drive adapter, Torque wrench, Appropriate grounding connector tool
Supplies needed:
650/675 ETP Tap Plug, Lubricant (supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved), Double ended stud (if supplied), #14AWG copper wire (or equivalent), Appropriate grounding connector, Waterproofing material (if cable is jacketed), Insulated cap or elbow (DR(G), ESA, GLR, or LR), Cable, Spade contact, Elbow connector, Mating connector
- Ensure Safety and Inspect Components
WARNING: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high-voltage safety practices. Before starting, check the package contents for completeness and damage. Inspect all components for proper fit with the cable and/or mating products.
- Prepare Cable and Install Elbow
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 that it lies flat on the apparatus bushing contact.
- Prepare and Lubricate Components
Remove any protective caps from the elbow connector and the tap plug. If applicable, hand-tighten the double-ended stud into the tap plug. Clean and then thoroughly lubricate the entire mating connector interface, elbow connector interfaces, and the tap plug using the supplied lubricant or an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant.
- 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 a torque of 50-60 ft-lbs. Finally, remove the drive adapter from the tap plug.
- Install Grounding Wire
Insert one end of a #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 with the wire and twist it tightly, being careful not to damage the grounding eye.
- Connect Cable Shield 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. 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. Ensure sufficient length is left for elbow movement. For three-phase installations, all grounds must tie to a common point. If the cable is jacketed, install appropriate waterproofing at the jacket terminus to prevent moisture ingress.
- Install Final Cap or Connector and Verify Seating
Clean and lubricate the entire tap plug interface. Install either a DR(G), ESA, GLR, or LR of the appropriate voltage class onto the tap plug interface, following the specific instructions provided with that product. Verify complete assembly by ensuring no portion of the yellow band on the tap plug is visible when viewed from the side, indicating full seating.
