How to Install the CTP202N Ground Grid Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the CTP202N direct burial ground grid connector, including cable preparation and crimping procedures. Ensure power is disconnected before starting.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Wire brush (WWB1) or rough cloth, Hydraulic Crimping Tool (TBM15, TBM15CR-LI, or TBM15I), Crimping Die (15517), Die Adapter (15500-TB, if using TBM15, TBM15CR-LI, or TBM15I)

Supplies needed:

CTP202N Ground Grid Connector, Electrical Cable (#1 STR. - 2/0 STR. or #6 SOL. - #2 STR.)

  1. Ensure Safety and Review Instructions

    Before beginning, read and understand all instructions and safety information. Disconnect all power to prevent risk of electrical shock. Ensure the installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

  2. Clean Cable Ends

    Using a wire brush (WWB1) or a rough cloth, thoroughly clean the cable of all visible dirt until a bright copper finish is achieved. This ensures optimal conductivity for the connection.

  3. Position Cable in Connector

    Insert the cleaned cable end(s) into the CTP202N connector. Ensure that the cable end(s) protrude at least 3/4 inch (19mm) beyond the connector to ensure a secure and proper connection.

  4. Secure Connector with Crimps

    Using the specified hydraulic tool (TBM15, TBM15CR-LI, or TBM15I) and the appropriate die (15517), perform 3 crimps on the connector. If using TBM15, TBM15CR-LI, or TBM15I, ensure the 15500-TB die adapter is also used. Follow the tool's instructions for proper crimping technique to achieve a secure connection.
