How to Install the 10TL Adapter for Flat Metallic Tape Shielded Cable
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 10TL adapter on flat metallic tape shielded cables, ensuring proper preparation and connection with Elastimold distribution products. DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal. This product should be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Knife, Rag, Wire strippers, Soldering iron, Measuring tape or ruler
Supplies needed:
10TL Adapter housing, Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Approved safety solvent, PVC insulating electrical tape (3/4 inch wide), Vinyl plastic electrical tape, #14 AWG (2.08mm²) wire, Grounding lead, Solder, 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) beyond this specified dimension.
- Remove Metallic Shielding Tape
Carefully remove the metallic tape, ensuring the cut ends are 3/4 inch (19mm) from the edge of the remaining outer jacket.
- Remove Semiconducting Tape
Remove the semiconducting tape, leaving 1 inch (25mm) from the edge of the outer jacket intact.
- Apply Retainer and Marker Tapes
Wrap 1.5 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 create a 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.
- Clean and Lubricate Cable and Adapter
Clean the outer jacket and thoroughly clean the cable insulation with a rag soaked in an approved safety solvent, wiping from the cable end towards the outer jacket. Lubricate the prepared cable section and the inside of the 10TL adapter with the supplied lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE).
- Install the 10TL Adapter
Slide the 10TL adapter onto the prepared cable using a forward side-to-side twisting motion. Continue until the adapter is flush with the tape marker applied in Step 4. The adapter's step will serve as a guide for subsequent Elastimold product assembly.
- Install the Elastimold Product
Install the associated ELASTIMOLD distribution product by following its specific installation instructions. Ensure that after installation, the gap between the Elastimold product and the step on the 10TL adapter does not exceed 1/8 inch (3mm).
- Remove Tape Marker
Carefully remove the vinyl plastic electrical 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 adapter's end, remove 1.5 inches (38mm) of the outer jacket. Use #14 AWG (2.08mm²) wire to fasten a grounding lead to the exposed metallic shielding tape with several wraps. Solder the grounding lead securely to the metallic tape, taking care to avoid excessive heat that could damage the cable. After soldering, wrap the soldered area with electrical insulating tape, overlapping each cable jacket by approximately 1.5 inches (38mm).
