Overview

The ABB 15PCJ2F2240 is a 15kV Power Cable Joint, Style 2, designed for reliable medium-voltage power distribution. This permanent, fully shielded, and fully submersible splice is ideal for both new installations and cable repairs. It is rated per IEEE Standard 404 for 15kV voltage class, featuring an 110kV BIL impulse withstand and 35kV AC withstand rating. The joint accommodates cable insulation diameters from 0.640 inches to 0.820 inches and is suitable for copper conductors sized AWG Stranded 1/0 or Solid 2/0. The universal housing and separate cable adapters offer installation flexibility across various cable types, including those with concentric neutral, extruded insulation shielding, fabric tape shielding, or lead jacketing, when used with appropriate adapters. The molded conductive shield ensures a virtually indestructible ground shield for deadfront construction, while the molded conductive insert prevents electrical stress on entrapped air. A grounding eye is provided for convenient connection to the molded conductive shield. The cable entrance creates an electrical and water seal, eliminating the need for taping insulation shielding. Connectors meet ANSI C119.4 Class A and Class 3 ratings. The joint's pin and socket interlock can withstand pulls of up to 500 lbs. Continuous current rating matches the cable rating, with a short-time current rating up to 35kA. Cyclic aging tests include 30 days at 26.1kV AC continuous with load current for 8 hours daily, reaching 130°F conductor temperature. Manufacturer: ABB - Installation Products. SKU: 15PCJ2F2240.

Special Features
Power Cable Joints utilize permanently crimped connectors. PCJ housings are fully insulated, shielded and sealed for direct-burial, vault, submersible and other servere service applications. Units have been designed and tested per IEEE Standard 404 to ensure system matched performance and ratings equal to the cable to which the splice will be installed. Power Cable Joints are available in two styles. Style 1 uses a single-piece housing that is sized to accommodate a specific range of cable - ideally suited to straight splicing of the same or similar cable. Style 2 designs incorporate a universal housing with separate cable adapters to allow transition splices of different types and sizes of cable

How to Install the 15/25/35PCJ2W Cable Joint

This guide provides detailed instructions for the permanent, fully shielded, and submersible installation of the 15/25/35PCJ2W series straight joint for aluminum and/or copper conductor, wire shielded cables. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning.

Estimated time: 2h

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Circular cutting tool, Glass scraper, Wirebrush, Hex wrench, Crimping tool

Supplies needed:

Joint Housing, Splice (Conductor Contact), Cable Adapters, Lubricant, Retaining Collars, Hose Clamp, Electrical tape, #14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent), Appropriate connector (user supplied), Heat/cold shrink jacket (user supplied)

  1. Perform Safety Checks and Initial Preparation

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before installation or removal. Inspect all components for damage, rating, and compatibility. Examine mating cable ends for moisture and contaminants. Remove graphite coatings 12 inches (30.5cm) beyond the cable jacket cut using a circular cutting tool or glass scraper; avoid sanding. If conductors contain strand filled or water-blocking material, contact the cable manufacturer for welding/crimping procedures.

  2. Prepare Cable Jackets and Position Housing

    Using a stripping guide, carefully remove the cable jacket of both cables for a distance of 11-1/4 inches (285.7mm). Fold back the shield wires and tape the end of the wires on Cable 1, allowing enough extra length to rejoin later. Clean the surface of the insulation shield, shield wires, and jacket for a distance of 30 inches (760mm). Slide the joint housing onto Cable 1 to a distance of 30 inches (760mm).

  3. Prepare Cable Insulation

    Using the stripping guide, carefully remove the insulation shield and cable insulation. CAUTION: DO NOT CUT OR NICK THE INSULATION, as this could lead to assembly failure. Wrap two turns of tape 1 inch (25mm) from the edge of the insulation shield on both cables to serve as a marker. Clean the cable insulation thoroughly, then lubricate it to create a build-up or ramp of lubricant at the edge of the insulation shield.

  4. Install Cable Adapters and Retaining Collars

    Lubricate the inside of both ends of one cable adapter. Install this cable adapter onto Cable 1 until it meets the tape marker. Repeat this process for the other cable adapter on Cable 2. Select the retaining collars and partially thread the proper size setscrews. Position each retaining collar over the insulation, flush against its respective cable adapter. Using the supplied hex wrench, tighten each set screw one or two turns at a time to keep the collar centered, then continue tightening until the screws are below the collar surface.

  5. Splice Conductors

    Thoroughly clean the ends of the cable adapters and the cable where shown. Install a hose clamp around the adapter on the opposite side of the splice from where the housing is stored to hold the adapter in place. Tape over the hose clamp to form a smooth surface. Wirebrush the exposed conductors of both cables and immediately insert them into the splice. Verify the 'Check' dimension does not exceed 8-1/2 inches (215mm); redo assembly if it does. Crimp the splice according to its recommendations. Wipe off all excess inhibitor. Check the distance between cable adapters; redo assembly if it exceeds 8-3/4 inches (222mm). Clean and lubricate the outside surface of the cable adapters.

  6. Complete Joint Assembly and Grounding

    Slide the joint housing into its final position, centering it over the cable adapters. Remove all tape, ensuring that no cable or adapter insulation is exposed after positioning the joint. Reshape the shield wires and secure them to the ends of the joint. Insert one shield wire from Cable 1 (if #14 AWG or larger) through the joint grounding eye, and repeat for Cable 2. If shield wires are smaller than #14 AWG, use separate #14 AWG copper wire or equivalent. Connect the joint grounding wires and remaining shield wires using an appropriate connector. Reconstruct the cable jacket (where applicable) over both cables and over the joint housing using heat/cold shrink materials (not included).
