How to Install 10TL Adapters on Flat Metallic Tape Shielded Cable
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 10TL adapter on flat metallic tape shielded cables with tape insulation shields, ensuring proper cable preparation and connection with Elastimold distribution products. Always de-energize apparatus during installation and follow all safety practices for high voltage electrical equipment.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Wire strippers, Measuring tape, Soldering iron, Rag
Supplies needed:
10TL Adapter housing, Lubricant, PVC insulating electrical tape (3/4 inch wide), Vinyl plastic electrical tape, #14 AWG (2.08mm²) wire, Grounding lead, Solder, Approved safety solvent, Electrical insulating tape
- Prepare the Cable Outer Jacket
Refer to the Elastimold product instructions for the semiconductive shield removal dimension. Remove the cable's outer jacket a distance of 2 inches (51mm) more than this specified dimension.
- Remove Metallic Tape
Remove the metallic tape to a point 3/4 inch (19mm) from the edge of the outer jacket.
- Remove Semiconducting Tape
Remove the semiconducting tape to a point 1 inch (25mm) from the edge of the outer jacket.
- Apply Retainer and Marker Tapes
Wrap 1-1/2 to 2 turns of 3/4 inch (19mm) wide PVC insulating electrical tape over the semiconducting and metallic tapes, 1/2 inch (13mm) from the edge of the outer jacket, to serve as a tape retainer. Wrap 2 turns of vinyl plastic electrical tape over the outer jacket, 1 inch (25mm) from its edge, to serve as a tape marker.
- Clean and Lubricate Cable
Clean the outer jacket and thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of semiconducting residue using a rag soaked with an approved safety solvent. Always wipe from the end of the cable toward the outer jacket. Lubricate the cable as shown in the diagram and the inside of the adapter.
- Slide Adapter onto Cable
Slide the 10TL adapter onto the cable using a forward side-to-side twisting motion until it is flush with the tape marker. The step on the adapter will serve as a marker for assembling ELASTIMOLD products.
- Install ELASTIMOLD Product
Install the ELASTIMOLD product by following the installation instructions supplied with that specific product. After installation, a maximum gap of 1/8 inch (3mm) between the ELASTIMOLD product and the adapter's step is permissible.
- Remove Tape Marker
Remove the tape marker from the cable after the ELASTIMOLD product has been fully assembled.
- Ground the Metallic Shielding Tape
Approximately 2 inches (51mm) back from the end of the adapter, remove the outer jacket a distance of 1-1/2 inches (38mm). Using #14 AWG (2.08mm²) wire and a grounding lead, fasten the grounding lead to the metallic shielding tape by making several wraps with the #14 AWG wire. Solder the ground lead to the metallic tape, avoiding excessive heat to prevent cable damage. After soldering, wrap the soldered area with electrical insulating tape, overlapping each cable jacket approximately 1-1/2 inches (38mm).
