How to Install the 15kV Ranger 2 Indoor Silicone Rubber Termination

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 15kV Ranger 2 shrink fit silicone rubber termination (R2IT15M2) on tape shielded cables for indoor applications. It covers essential cable preparation, ground braid installation, lug connection, cleaning, and the final termination installation.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Cable knife, Crimping tool, Clean cloths, Abrasive pads (aluminum oxide, grit 120 or finer, optional)

Supplies needed:

15kV Ranger 2 Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination Kit (R2IT15M2), Electrical connector/lug (compatible with cable), Vinyl electrical tape, Cable cleaning solvent

  1. Prepare the Cable

    WARNING: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. Inspect the cable size to ensure it fits within the insulation range specified in the Termination Selection Chart. Train the cable into its final position and cut it to the required length. Prepare the cable using the dimensions provided in the documentation, allowing for the depth of the terminal lug and any growth allowance for aluminum lugs. Secure the edge of the tape shield with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape to prevent unrolling.

  2. Install the Ground Braid

    Carefully wrap one band of vinyl tape around the cable jacket 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end; this serves as a marker. Position the preformed ground braid with its short tail over the tape shield and the solder block centered over the vinyl tape strip. Secure the ground braid to the cable jacket using vinyl tape. Apply a second vinyl tape band directly over the original marker and ground braid solder block, maintaining the 1/4 inch (6mm) dimension. Wrap the ground braid around the cable tape shield one complete wrap, trim any excess to prevent overlap, and secure it in place with the constant force spring. Cinch (tighten) the spring after wrapping the final winding, then secure the spring with two wraps of vinyl tape.

  3. Install the Lug or Connector

    Before proceeding, check that the termination assembly will fit over your selected lug. If the lug will not fit through the termination core, clean the cable insulation and slide the termination onto the cable before installing the lug (do not remove the core at this time). Position the connector or lug and crimp it according to the manufacturer’s directions. IMPORTANT: Do not crimp the last 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch of the connector. After crimping, remove any excess oxide inhibitor and all sharp crimp flashings or edges.

  4. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation thoroughly with solvent-saturated pads. Exercise caution to prevent the solvent from touching the semi-conductive insulation shield. If abrasive cleaning is necessary, use it only on the insulation and never on the semi-conductive insulation shield. Use only aluminum oxide abrasive, grit 120 or finer, and be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below the kit's allowed specifications.

  5. Install the Termination Body

    Cover the edge of the semi-conductive insulation shield with a liberal coating of silicone grease to fill the step at the semi-con 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 by pulling counter-clockwise. Recheck the termination position and continue to remove the core. Do not push or pull on the termination assembly while removing the core. Finally, connect the ground braid to the system ground.
