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

This guide provides detailed instructions for installing the 10TL adapter with Elastimold distribution products on flat metallic tape shielded cables, including cable preparation, adapter placement, and grounding procedures. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before starting.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Knife, Rag, Approved safety solvent, Soldering iron, Wire strippers, Measuring tape or ruler

Supplies needed:

10TL Adapter housing, Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), PVC insulating electrical tape (3/4 inch wide), Vinyl plastic electrical tape, #14 AWG (2.08mm²) wire, Grounding lead, Elastimold distribution product (to be installed with adapter), Electrical insulating tape

  1. Prepare for Installation and De-energize Circuit

    Before beginning, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Check the package contents for completeness and inspect all components for proper fit with the cable and mating products. Have all required tools ready and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices.

  2. Remove Cable Outer Jacket

    Refer to the Elastimold product instructions for the semiconductive shield removal dimension (typically Step 2). Remove the cable's outer jacket a distance of 2 inches (51mm) more than this specified dimension.

  3. Remove Metallic Tape

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

  4. Remove Semiconducting Tape

    Remove the semiconducting tape to a point 1 inch (25mm) from the edge of the remaining outer jacket.

  5. Apply Tape Retainer and Marker

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

  6. Clean and Lubricate Cable and Adapter

    Clean the outer jacket and thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of semiconducting residue. Use a rag soaked with an approved safety solvent, wiping from the end of the cable toward the outer jacket. Lubricate the prepared cable and the inside of the 10TL adapter with the supplied lubricant.

  7. 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 the Elastimold product.

  8. Install Elastimold Product

    Install the associated 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 adapter is permissible.

  9. Remove Tape Marker and Ground Metallic Shielding

    Remove the tape marker from the cable after the Elastimold product is assembled. Approximately 2 inches (51mm) back from the end of the adapter, remove the outer jacket for 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 by approximately 1-1/2 inches (38mm).
