BURNDY WEJTAP™

CONNECTION SYSTEM

BURNDY

, a leading manufacturer of quality

electrical connectors for over 70 years, introduces

the WEJTAP™ SYSTEM, a system that adds

further dimension to the existing BURNDY

group

of proven, reliable connection systems.

WEJTAP™ COMPONENTS

are designed to

provide a reliable system connection. The system

consists of WEJTAP™ connectors, installation

tools (including a variety of hotline and lineman

accessories) and a unique power-booster.

WEJTAP™ CONNECTORS

use an aluminum

alloy wedge that is power-driven between the run

and the tap cables locking them into a “C” shaped

tempered aluminum alloy spring-body. The spring-

body maintains consistent pressure throughout

the life of the connection to ensure reliability

during severe electrical and climatic conditions.

The wedge’s wiping action combined with factory

installed PENTX 1530 provides superior contact

integrity. The wedge is automatically locked onto

the spring-body by a skiving action produced

by a lance at the forward end of the WEJTAP™

installation tool.

The

WEJTAP™ TOOL

is a one-piece assembly

that consists of a head and power unit. Two

color-coded interchangeable heads accept

all WEJTAP™ connectors and STIRRUP™.

The design of the tool recognizes the need for

simplicity and speed of operation as well as

outstanding safety features such as automatic

gas release vented away from the operator, fast

simple breech loading and fast advance when

engaging the connector assembly. No loose

parts to drop or misplace and a booster ejection

system that provides further safety to the operator.

Fewer simplified hotline devices and handy

lineman accessories complete an outstanding tool

package.

• Large conductor chamfer on ends of wedge

◊ Instant hand or visual identification of

large run grooves. Ensures correct

wedge orientation.

• Color-coded WEJTAP™ connector and booster

packaged together

◊ Easy selection by installer.

• Factory coated grooves with PENTX 1530

◊ Maintains low contact resistance,

assists in protection against climatic

conditions and is compatible with

common insulations.

• One-piece tool

◊ No project delays due to dropped or

lost parts.

• Fewer and improved hotstick accessories

◊ Simplifies hotline installation and saves

time.

• Contained booster ejection system

◊ Safe for operator guards against the

booster being ejected in direction of

the installer.

Features and Benefits

• Automatic gas release vented away from

operator

◊ Eliminates manual gas venting and

improves safety.

• Simplified loading

◊ Speeds installation — no threads — just

depress safety bar, twist and pull

open — load — push and twist to close

prior to applying connector.

• Acme-type threads

◊ Provides smooth, fast engagement of

tool and connector — saves installer’s

time.

The

WEJTAP™ POWER-BOOSTER

Patented

is a self-contained device that provides the force

necessary to drive the wedge into direct contact

with the conductors. The booster is activated only

when properly positioned in the tool assembly.

A power cell in the booster is recessed to guard

against premature discharge. The tool/booster

system is designed to activate and deactivate

the booster automatically should the operator

decide to remove the tool from a connector prior

to completing the installation. The deactivated

booster may be safely removed from the tool.

WEJTAP™ AND

TEST DATA

WEJTAP™ connectors have been subjected to

extensive tests simulating the most severe service

and weather conditions. In addition. the WEJTAP™

system meets or exceeds the industry standards of

ANSI C119.4 Class 3, NEMA CC3 1973 Class AA,

500 Heat Cycles.

As with all BURNDY

connectors, the WEJTAP™

has been designed to operate cooler than the

attached conductors. The WEJTAP™ connectors

have also been subjected to the ASTM B117-73 Salt

Spray Test. The results are shown to the right.

WEJTAP™

C-member bodies are color-coded and the

wedges are marked with nominal conductor run

and tap ranges. WEJTAP™ connector packages

are labeled with a variety of common conductors

with their nominal ranges.

■ WEJTAP™ connector wedges are

marked with nominal ACSR, Aluminum

and Copper concentric standard

conductors.

■ Red WEJTAP™ connector range

Run 8-1/0 Tap 8-2

■ Blue WEJTAP™ connector range

Run 2-300 Tap 6-300

■ Yellow WEJTAP™ connector range

Run 266.8-1590 Tap 6-1590

All WEJTAP™ wedges contain a clearly defined

chamfer on the large end of the run conductor

groove to identify the “large run” groove. Installers

will appreciate the convenience of visual or hand

identification for correct wedge positioning.

WEJTAP™ wedges are driven between the

run and tap conductors and activate the spring

characteristics of the “C” shaped body. This

action maintains contact pressure even when the

connection is subjected to severe climatic and

electrical conditions.

WEJTAP™ COVER

WEJTAP™ Covers are installed on WEJTAP™

connectors to prevent them from coming in contact

with other taps or exposed ground points. The

covers are rugged snap-on devices available in

four sizes to cover all connector sizes.

The BURNDY

WEJTAP™ System has a wide

variety of connectors available for many different

conductor ranges.

Color coded boosters and connectors ensure

proper matching during installation.

The BURNDY

Power Booster is designed and

engineered for the highest reliability and safety.

Proven rimfire design means misfires are almost

nonexistent. Close manufacturing component

tolerances provide maximum resistance to

moisture or submersion.

NOTE:

The recommended connector and booster are ordered separately.

Catalog number is for the POWERLUG™ only. Use the Tap Groove

Connector diameter, along with the application run conductor diameter, to

choose the correct WEJTAP

connector.

* Electrically, the three smaller conductors are the likely taps, however,

during installation, they are located in the larger run groove due to their

larger aggregate sum.

Product Specifications

1. Utilizes WEJTAP™ connectors for

securing the switch to the distribution

line in tension applications.

2. Utilizes industry recognized and

proven GST&D Products, LTD. blade

components along with dual Advance

Rubber Products, Inc., Insulators

attached to a BURNDY

designed yoke

plate assembly.

3. WEJTAP™ In-Line Disconnect

designed for use in gloving and hot

stick applications in conjunction with an

industry standard load break tool.

4. Dual insulators minimize the switch

movement during opening and closing

of the blade.

5. Installation steps are minimized. The

switch can be snapped directly on the

line and secured with our conductor

pivot retainer, designed into the switch

frame.

6. WEJTAP™ tooling is used to secure

the “C Member” to the built-in wedge

feature of the frame. Providing reliable

mechanical and electrical performance.

7. The blade is positioned on the switch

to simplify cutting the conductor during

installation.

8. In-Line Disconnect is removable and

reuseable.

9. Other conductor sizes available. Please

contact factory.

Overhead Distribution and Transmission

Bolted Wedge In-Line Disconnect Switch

WADM Bolted Wedge

In-Line Disconnect Switch

Combining with the best features of the

WEJTAP™ In-Line Disconnect Switch, the

WADM Bolted Wedge enhances the range

taking capabilities with an innovative hybrid

bolted connector while maintaining the time

saving features.

1. Bolted hybrid connector combines

bolted technology with wedge features

to make a reliable connection while

taking the guess work of knowing when

“tight is tight”.

2. Spring loaded pivot retainer snaps onto

the conductor freeing the hands of the

installer to quickly and safely complete

the installation.

3. Dual insulators minimize the switch

rotation during opening and closing,

especially in mid-span applications.

4. The switch can be easily removed and

reused (reconditioning required).
