How to Install the 15kV Ranger 2 Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination (Tape Shielded Cable)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 15kV Ranger 2 Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination on tape shielded cables for indoor applications, covering cable preparation, ground braid installation, lug connection, cleaning, and termination body placement.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Crimping tool, Cable knife, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

15kV Ranger 2 Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination kit, Vinyl tape, Solvent saturated pads, Copper foil tape, Terminal lug or connector, Silicone grease, Gloves

  1. De-energize and Prepare Cable

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. Verify cable size fits the termination range. Train the cable into position and cut to the required length. Prepare the cable by removing the jacket (9-1/4"/235mm) and allowing for terminal lug depth (1-1/2"/38mm plus growth allowance). Secure the tape shield edge with a single wrap of supplied copper foil tape to prevent unrolling. Ensure 3/4" (19mm) of insulation is exposed.

  2. Install Ground Braid

    Wrap one band of vinyl tape 1/4" (6mm) from the cable jacket end as a marker. Position the preformed ground braid with its short tail over the tape shield and solder block centered over the vinyl tape. Secure the ground braid to the cable jacket with vinyl tape. Apply a second vinyl tape band directly over the first marker and solder block, maintaining the 1/4" (6mm) dimension. Wrap the ground braid around the cable tape shield once, trim excess, and secure with the constant force spring. Cinch the spring and secure it with two wraps of vinyl tape.

  3. Install Terminal Lug or Connector

    Ensure the termination assembly fits over the selected lug; if not, clean the insulation and slide the termination onto the cable before installing the lug (do not remove the core yet). Position the connector/lug and crimp according to the manufacturer’s directions, leaving the last 3/8" to 1/2" uncrimped. After crimping, remove any excess oxide inhibitor and all sharp crimp flashings or edges.

  4. Clean Cable Insulation

    Wipe the cable insulation with solvent-saturated pads, taking care not to let solvent touch the semi-conductive insulation shield. If abrasive cleaning is necessary, use only aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer) on the insulation, avoiding the semi-conductive shield. Ensure the cable insulation diameter is not reduced below the kit's allowed range.

  5. Install Termination Body and Ground

    Apply a liberal coating of silicone grease to the edge of the semi-conductive insulation shield to fill the step at the cut-off. Slide the termination body onto the cable, aligning its edge with the forward edge of the vinyl tape marker. Carefully begin to remove the core, rechecking the termination position as you proceed. Do not push or pull on the termination assembly while removing the core. Finally, connect the ground braid to the system ground.
