ABSTRACT:
A cable tap assembly for connecting a tapping concentric cable to a high-voltage energized concentric cable. The tap assembly includes a two-piece housing having openings through which the cables extend. The tapped cable extends through two of the openings, and the tapping cable extends through a third opening. A fourth opening in the housing permits access for engaging a clamping assembly with the center conductor of the tapped cable. The clamping assembly includes two hinged members having knife contacts thereon. When the hinged members are forced together, the knife contacts pierce the insulation and make contact with the center conductor of the tapped cable. The tapping cable is electrically connected to the clamping assembly. A liquid insulating material is injected into the housing and allowed to solidify. The housing and the clamping assembly may first be positioned around the grounded portion of the tapped cable and then moved over to a prepared ungrounded portion of the tapped cable. When in position, the clamping means is tightened to make contact with the center conductor.
