Overview

The ABB 600ECS-G2-2 Cold-Shrinkable Seal is a field-proven solution for jacketed cable sealing applications, engineered by ABB Installation Products for reliable environmental protection. This model features an integrated copper rod and constant force spring, delivering consistent sealing pressure across jacket diameters from 1.28 inches to 2.30 inches, with a maximum installed diameter of approximately 2.75 inches. The cold-shrink EPDM rubber construction provides superior resistance to moisture, chemicals, ultraviolet light, and ozone, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Unlike heat-shrink alternatives, this seal eliminates the need for torches or specialized tools, reducing installation time and eliminating the risk of thermal damage to cable components. The constant force spring mechanism automatically adjusts to maintain optimal sealing pressure as cables settle or experience environmental changes, ensuring long-term integrity. Designed for medium-voltage cables with copper tape shields, the 600ECS-G2-2 includes mastic strips for enhanced sealing performance. Temperature range spans from -40°C (-40°F) to 65°C (149°F), providing reliable operation in extreme conditions. Ideal for cable elbows, terminations, and accessory installations where resealing is required, this seal outperforms tape or traditional heat-shrink products in durability and ease of use. SKU: 600ECS-G2-2.

How to Install the 600 ECS-G2 Jacketed Cable Grounding and Sealing Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 600 ECS-G2 kit, designed for grounding and sealing jacketed copper tape shielded cables with an outer diameter range of 1.28” to 2.30” (32-58mm). Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before starting.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Cleaning cloth, Utility knife, Wire strippers, Cutting tool (for braid), Crimping tool (for grounding connector)

Supplies needed:

Cold Shrink Tube, Mastic (3 pieces), Ground Rod (#2 AWG equivalent), Flat Copper Braid, Conductive Copper Tape, Spring Coil, Vinyl Tape (not supplied with kit), Suitable grounding connector (not supplied with kit)

  1. Prepare for Installation and Safety Check

    DANGER: De-energize all apparatus before beginning installation. Ensure you are competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Inspect all kit parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with your cable and mating products. Wipe the outer jacket of the cable clean for a distance of 30” (750mm).

  2. Slide Cold Shrink Tube onto Cable

    Slide the cold shrink tube (loose end first) onto the cable for a distance of 18” (458mm) from the end where the kit will be installed.

  3. Strip Cable Jacket and Shield

    Carefully remove the outer jacket for a distance of 4” (102mm) beyond the semi-con shield skive dimension recommended by the product manufacturer. Then, remove the copper tape shield for a distance of 1.5” (38mm) from the end of the semi-con shield.

  4. Secure Copper Tape and Apply First Mastic Wrap

    Wrap conductive copper tape around the edge of the remaining copper tape shield to keep it firmly in place. Apply one wrap of mastic around the cable, as indicated in the product diagram.

  5. Position Grounding Assembly

    Place the grounding assembly against the outer jacket of the cable, ensuring it is correctly aligned as shown in the installation diagrams.

  6. Wrap Flat Braid

    Wrap the flat copper braid over the grounding assembly five times. After wrapping, cut off any excess flat braid.

  7. Secure Spring Coil

    Wrap the spring coil around the end of the flat braid. Finger tighten the spring coil and then secure the end of the coil with a short piece of conductive copper tape.

  8. Apply Mastic and Tape to Ground Rod

    Place the ground rod against the cable. Apply a second piece of mastic over the ground rod. Overwrap this mastic with two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape to secure and seal it.

  9. Seal Cable Entrance with Mastic and Tape

    Wrap a third piece of mastic around the cable entrance of the connector or product being used. Overwrap this mastic with two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape to ensure a proper seal.

  10. Activate and Position Cold Shrink Tube

    Pull the loose cord from the back of the cold shrink tube 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, ensuring it overlaps the elbow or joint end by at least 1” (25mm) for a proper seal. If cable adapters are used, ensure the tube overlaps the adapter and butts against the accompanying housing. Continue unwinding the cord clockwise until the tube fully collapses and seals.

  11. Ground the Assembly

    Using a suitable connector (not supplied with this kit), ground the entire assembly in accordance with standard utility practices and local electrical codes.
