Multi-tap Lugs
Typical Installation
Considerations
• AVT may be installed on the line side or load side of
the disconnect
• It may be possible to terminate one AVT sensor lead
on the load side lug of a disconnect and the other
AVT sensor lead on the upstream lug of the next
component. If this method is used, there must not
be any circuit elements installed between the AVT
sensor leads.
• Lugs must be rated to accept multiple wires and
compatible with the 14 AWG AVT sensor leads
• Multi-tap lugs can be added or changed on some
electrical disconnects
• AVT sensor leads must have ferrules applied at all
termination points
SCCR Impact
• Changing or adding a lug may impact SCCR
• If the lugs are already present in the circuit and
considered in the SCCR calculations, there is no
impact to the SCCR rating.
NOTE: The AVT is not part of the power circuit, as it
only acts as a sensing/monitoring device and does
not carry power.
Limitations
• If extending the sensor leads, the total length of the
sensor leads plus the sensor lead extensions must
be less than 10ft from the isolation module to the
connection point on the power conductor (to
comply with NEC tap rule)
• AVT sensor leads must not be terminated in the
same port.
• Lugs must be compatible with the electrical
disconnect.
