How to Install the 10TL Adapter for Flat Metallic Tape Shielded Cables

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 10TL adapter on flat metallic tape shielded cables, ensuring proper cable preparation, adapter placement, and grounding. This installation requires supplementary instructions for the specific ELASTIMOLD distribution product being used.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Knife, Rag, Soldering iron, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

10TL Adapter housing, Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), 3/4 inch (19mm) wide PVC insulating electrical tape, Vinyl plastic electrical tape, #14 AWG (2.08mm²) wire, Grounding lead, Electrical insulating tape, Approved safety solvent, ELASTIMOLD distribution product

  1. De-energize and Prepare Cable Jacket

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. Consult 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. Ensure all work is performed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices.

  2. Remove Metallic Tape

    Carefully remove the metallic tape to a point 3/4 inch (19mm) from the edge of the outer jacket.

  3. Remove Semiconducting Tape

    Remove the semiconducting tape to a point 1 inch (25mm) from the edge of the outer jacket, exposing the cable insulation.

  4. 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 outer jacket edge, to serve as a tape retainer. Then, wrap 2 turns of vinyl plastic electrical tape over the outer jacket, 1 inch (25mm) from its edge, to create a tape marker.

  5. Clean and Lubricate Cable and Adapter

    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 cable end towards the outer jacket. Lubricate the prepared cable and the inside of the 10TL adapter. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE the provided lubricant.

  6. 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 subsequent ELASTIMOLD product assembly.

  7. Install ELASTIMOLD Product

    Install the ELASTIMOLD distribution product by following its specific installation instructions. After installation, a maximum gap of 1/8 inch (3mm) between the ELASTIMOLD product and the step on the 10TL adapter is permissible.

  8. Remove Tape Marker

    After the ELASTIMOLD product is fully assembled, remove the tape marker from the cable.

  9. Ground Metallic Shielding Tape

    WARNING: UNGROUNDED SHIELDS ARE DANGEROUS. 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 wrapping the #14 AWG wire several times. 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 and overlap each cable jacket by approximately 1-1/2 inches (38mm). Attach the grounding lead to the system ground.
