Installation Instructions: 650/675 ETP (1)
Elbow Tap Plug
CONTENTS: Tap Plug, Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Stud (if supplied), Installation Instructions.
The 650/675 ETP has a voltage rating of 15kV (8.3kV line---to--- ground and 14.4kV line---to--- line) and is designed to providea
200 ampere loadbreak tap at system voltage as indicated on the ETP. A yellow band provides indication of full seating. This
product is identified by a white band.
WARNING: THE AVAILABLE FAULT CURRENT MUST BE LIMITED TO 10,000 AMPERES WHEN USING
THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING RATINGS APPLY TO THIS PRODUCT:
600 Ampere Deadbreak Interface: 650ETP(1)---600 ampere load current and 25,000 amperes short
circuit current for 10 cycles.
675ETP(1)---900 ampere load current and 25,000 amperes short
circuit current for 10 cycles.
200 Ampere Loadbreak Interface: 200 amperes load current and 10,000 amperes fault---close current.
For higher short circuit current: 1) this interface must only be operated
de---energized; and 2) elbows used for taps or grounding must be
adequately secured such as with a bail.
DANGER
All apparatus must be de--energized during installation
or removal of part(s).
Do not touch or move energized products in the work
area.
These instructions do not attempt to provide for every
possible contingency.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in
damage to the product and serious or fatal injury.
This product should be installed only by competent
personnel trained in good safety practices involving
high voltage electrical equipment. These instructions
are not intended as a substitute for adequate training or
experience in such safety practices.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON PARTS, INSTALLATION RATINGS AND COMPATIBILITY, CALL THE NEAREST ELASTIMOLDROFFICE.
All apparatus must be installed and operated in
accordance with individual user, local, and national
work rules.
For loadbreak products follow operating instructions.
All deadbreak connectors must be de--energized before
operating. All 200A deadbreak connectors must be
mechanically secured with bails when connected.
If this product is supplied with a protective shipping
cover(s), remove this shipping cover(s) and replace
with the appropriate HV insulated cap(s) or
connector(s) before submerging or energizing the
circuit.
Inspect parts for damage, rating and compatibility with
mating parts.
Excess distortion of the assembled product may result
in its failure.

STEP 1
Prepare cable using spade contact and install elbow
according to the (K)650LR or 750LR installation
instructions. Before crimping, align spade contact on
cable so that it lies flat on the apparatus bushing
contact.
CORRECT POSITION WRONG POSITION
STEP 2
1. Remove the protective caps from the elbow connector
and the tap plug.
2. Tighten by hand double ended stud (if applicable) into
the tap plug.
3. Clean, then lubricate the entire mating connector
interface, elbow connector interfaces and the tap plug
as noted with the lubricant supplied or ELASTIMOLD
approved lubricant.
STEP 3
1. Assemble elbow connector on mating connector.
2. Assemble the tap plug into the elbow connector.
3. Insert the drive adapter into the tap plug. Turn in a
clockwise direction while pushing the elbow and tap
plug toward the mating connector.
4. Continue to rotate the drive adapter clockwise, with the
appropriate tool to a torque of 50 --- 60 ft---lbs. Remove
the drive adapter from tap plug.

FOR CONCENTRIC WIRE SHIELDED CABLE
Twist the shield wires together. Connect them and the
grounding eye wire to ground using an appropriate
connector.
Leave sufficient length to allow movement of the elbow if
required.
For three ---phase installations, all grounds from all three
phases must be tied to a common ground point.
If cable is jacketed, install appropriate waterproofing at
jacket terminus to prevent moisture from entering.
