Overview

The ABB 200ECS-G3 Cold-Shrink Jacket Seal Restoration system is a field-proven solution for sealing compromised jacketed power cables, including XLP, EPR, and solid dielectric insulated types. Designed for compatibility with extruded shields such as copper tape shield cables, this system provides critical shielding and moisture ingress protection for medium-voltage applications. The 200ECS-G3 meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 and supports voltage classes up to 35kV, with operating voltages of 21.1kV phase-to-ground and 36.6kV phase-to-phase. It delivers 150kV BIL impulse withstand, 50kV AC one-minute withstand, and 78kV DC 15-minute withstand, ensuring robust electrical performance. The system is rated for 200 Amp continuous and loadbreak operation, with 10kA symmetrical momentary and fault close capability over 10 cycles. This cold-shrink solution features an integrated copper braid for reliable electrical grounding and a constant force spring mechanism that maintains consistent sealing pressure over time. The EPDM rubber construction provides resistance to chemicals, ultraviolet light, and ozone, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. The temperature range spans from -40°C to 65°C (-40°F to 149°F), ensuring performance in extreme conditions. The 200ECS-G3 accommodates jacket diameters from 0.80 inches to 1.50 inches, achieving a maximum installed diameter of approximately 2 inches. Installation requires no heat or special tools, simplifying deployment in confined spaces or sensitive equipment areas. The system is compatible with Elastimold products such as 165LR, 275LR, and 15PCJ, making it a versatile choice for medium-voltage cable sealing applications.

How to Install the 200 ECS-G3 Jacketed Cable Grounding and Sealing Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 200 ECS-G3 Jacketed Cable Grounding and Sealing Kit on jacketed copper tape shielded cables, ensuring proper grounding and sealing.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Cable knife, Wire strippers, Cleaning cloth

Supplies needed:

Cold Shrink Tube, Mastic, Flat Copper Braid, Conductive Copper Tape, Spring Coil, Vinyl Tape, Suitable grounding connector, #14 AWG Copper Wire

  1. Prepare Cable and Position Cold Shrink Tube

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Wipe the outer jacket of the cable clean for a distance of 30 inches (750mm). Slide the cold shrink tube (loose end first) onto the cable for a distance of 18 inches (458mm).

  2. Strip Cable Jacket and Copper Tape Shield

    Carefully remove the outer jacket for a distance of 4 inches (102mm) beyond the semi-con shield skive dimension as recommended by the product manufacturer. Next, remove the copper tape shield for a distance of 1 1/2 inches (38mm) from the end of the semi-con shield.

  3. Secure Shield and Apply Initial Mastic

    Wrap conductive copper tape around the edge of the remaining copper tape shield to keep it securely in place. Then, apply one wrap of mastic over this area.

  4. Install and Secure Copper Braid with Spring Coil

    Slightly flare the end of the flat copper braid that contains the solder block and place it on the copper shield, ensuring it is flush against the cable jacket. Wrap the spring coil around the braid and cable for two complete turns. Bend the braid back over the spring, then wrap the remainder of the spring coil around both the braid and cable. Finger tighten the spring coil and secure its end with a short piece of conductive copper tape. Verify that the solder block of the braid is centered on top of the mastic tape.

  5. Apply Additional Mastic and Vinyl Tape

    Apply mastic over the installed braid. Overwrap this mastic with two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape. Wrap a third piece of mastic around the cable entrance of the connector being used. Overwrap this mastic with two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape for a complete seal.

  6. Activate Cold Shrink Tube

    Pull the loose end of the cold shrink tube's cord from the back and unwind it in a clockwise direction until the plastic core is flush with the end of the cold shrink tube. Slide the cold shrink tube into its final position and continue to unwind the cord clockwise. The cold shrink tube will collapse, sealing the product end first. IMPORTANT: Ensure the tube overlaps the elbow or joint end by at least 1 inch (25mm) for a proper seal when no cable adapters are used, or overlaps the adapter and butts against the accompanying housing when adapters are used.

  7. Ground the Assembly

    Using a suitable connector (not supplied with this kit) and #14 AWG copper wire, ground the entire assembly in accordance with standard utility practices and local electrical standards.
