Overview

The ABB K650ETP is a 25kV, 600/200A loadbreak elbow tap plug designed for medium-voltage distribution systems. This Elastimold® product enables a 200A tap from a 600A mainline connector, providing a reliable loadbreak interface for energized operation. The K650ETP is rated for 25kV phase-to-phase voltage with a maximum operating voltage of 26.3kV and a 125kV BIL impulse withstand rating (1.2 x 50 microsecond wave). It supports continuous current of 200A at the loadbreak interface and 600A at the deadbreak interface, with momentary ratings of 10kA symmetrical for 10 cycles and 25kA symmetrical for 10 cycles, respectively. The elbow tap plug features a hex-broach design for precise torque control during installation, ensuring consistent performance. Its peroxide-cured insulation and jacket provide durability in harsh environments, including exposure to moisture, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations. The K650ETP meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 and includes a protective shipping cap, lubricant, and installation instructions. Compatible with the ABB 600ATM assembly tool, the K650ETP simplifies installation and removal in confined spaces such as vaults, manholes, and pad-mounted transformers. It mates with a range of Elastimold® products, including 273DR, 273DRG, 273ESA-XX, 275LR, and others, ensuring versatility in medium-voltage applications. The compact dimensions (9.861 inches in length and 3 inches in widest diameter) allow for tight installations in underground residential, commercial, and industrial systems where reliable loadbreak operation is critical.

How to Install the K650/675 ETP Elbow Tap Plug

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and connection of the K650/675 ETP Elbow Tap Plug, including cable preparation, lubrication, assembly, and grounding procedures. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Wire preparation tools, Torque wrench, Drive adapter

Supplies needed:

Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Double-ended stud (if applicable), Spade contact, #14AWG copper wire or equivalent, Appropriate grounding connector, Jumper of equivalent ampacity, Appropriate waterproofing, DR(G), ESA, GLR, LR, or insulated cap/elbow arrester of appropriate voltage class

  1. Ensure Safety and Inspect Components

    De-energize all apparatus before beginning installation. Inspect all components for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Ensure all parts fit correctly with the cable and/or mating products. If supplied with protective shipping covers, remove them and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before submerging or energizing the circuit.

  2. Prepare Cable and Install Elbow

    Prepare the cable using a spade contact and install the elbow as described in the (K)650LR or 750LR installation instructions. Before making the first crimp on the spade contact, align it on the cable so that the spade lies flat on the apparatus bushing contact.

  3. Prepare Connectors and Lubricate

    Remove the protective caps from the elbow connector and the tap plug. Finger tighten the double-ended stud (if applicable) into the tap plug. Clean and thoroughly 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. Turn the drive adapter in a clockwise direction while simultaneously pushing the elbow and tap plug toward the mating connector. Continue rotating the drive adapter clockwise with an appropriate tool to a torque of 50-60 ft-lbs. 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, leaving sufficient length to allow movement of the elbow if required. Make a small loop and twist it tightly, taking care not to damage the grounding eye.

  6. Ground Concentric Wire Shielded Cable

    If using concentric wire shielded cable, twist the shield wires together. Connect these twisted shield wires and the grounding eye wire to ground using an appropriate connector. For three-phase installations, all grounds from all three phases must be tied to a common ground point. If the cable is jacketed, install appropriate waterproofing at the jacket terminus to prevent moisture from entering.

  7. Ground Metallic Tape Shielded Cable

    If using metallic tape shielded cable, connect the metallic shield of the cable to ground using a jumper of equivalent ampacity to the metallic shield. Install appropriate waterproofing at the jacket terminus to prevent moisture from entering. Connect the elbow connector grounding eye wire to ground.

  8. Install Final Connector or Cap

    Clean and lubricate the entire tap plug interface. Install a DR(G), ESA, GLR, or LR of the appropriate voltage class onto the tap plug interface, following the instructions supplied with each of these products.

  9. Verify Seating Indication

    Complete assembly of an insulated cap or elbow is indicated by no portion of the yellow seating indicator being visible when viewed from the side.
