15kV Loadbreak Reducing Tap Plug
Richards 15kV Loadbreak Reducing Tap Plug (P615LRTP) converts a 15/25kV 600A deadbreak interface (IEEE 386 Fig. 11) to a 15kV 200A loadbreak interface (IEEE 386 Fig. 5) for use with a loadbreak elbow or cap.
The LRTP has a 15/16″-9 threaded nose for installation into a similarly threaded lug. The joined elbow & plug assembly can then be safely operated with a hotstick.
Designed and validated against the following industry standards:
- ANSI/IEEE Std. 386: For Separable Insulated Connector Systems
- ANSI C119.4: For Electric Connectors
- IEEE Std. 592: For Exposed Semiconducting Shields
