Overview

The ABB Ranger2 Termination (SKU: R2IT15M2-N0310) is a high-reliability, indoor-rated termination designed for 15kV applications with cable insulation diameters ranging from 0.84 to 1.38 inches. This termination supports both concentric neutral and jacketed concentric neutral cables, making it versatile for medium-voltage distribution systems. The included aluminum 2-hole spade connector accommodates conductor sizes from #2 AWG up to 1250 kcmil, covering 400 kcmil stranded or 500 kcmil solid conductors—ideal for high-current industrial and utility installations. Engineered for compatibility with ABB’s Ranger2 series, this termination ensures secure, low-resistance connections in indoor environments where space and reliability are critical. The 15kV voltage rating aligns with ANSI C119.4 and IEEE 386 standards, providing consistent performance in power distribution networks. The compact design and durable aluminum construction reduce installation time while maintaining long-term mechanical and electrical integrity. Common applications include substation terminations, switchgear connections, and industrial motor control centers where medium-voltage cable terminations require precise insulation management and robust conductor termination. The 2-hole spade connector simplifies installation with standard hardware, eliminating the need for custom fittings. For projects requiring reliable 15kV indoor terminations with broad conductor compatibility, the Ranger2 Termination delivers consistent performance and compliance with utility-grade specifications.

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

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the R2IT15M2-N0310 15kV Ranger 2 Shrink fit Silicone Rubber Termination on tape shielded cables for indoor applications.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Cable cutter, Crimping tool, Deburring tool/knife, Solvent, Cleaning pads, Aluminum oxide abrasive (120 grit or finer)

Supplies needed:

R2IT15M2-N0310 Termination Kit, Vinyl tape, Copper foil tape, Silicone lubricant/grease, Terminal lug/connector, Gloves, Semi-conductive rubber tape (e.g., Scotcht No. 13, if needed)

  1. De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Kit

    WARNING: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect the kit contents to ensure they are complete, undamaged, and compatible with the cable and mating parts. Read all instructions before starting.

  2. Prepare Cable for Termination

    Verify the cable size fits the termination selection chart. Train the cable into position and cut it to the required length. Prepare the cable according to the specified dimensions: 9-1/4” (235mm) jacket removal length, 1-1/2” (38mm) for terminal lug depth plus growth allowance, and 3/4” (19mm) tape shield. Secure the tape shield edge with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape to prevent unrolling.

  3. Install Ground Braid and Markers

    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 the solder block centered over this 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.

  4. Secure Ground Braid with Constant Force Spring

    Wrap the ground braid around the cable tape shield for one complete wrap, trim any excess to prevent overlap, and secure it in place with the constant force spring. Wrap the spring in the same direction as the ground braid, cinching it after the final winding. Secure the spring with two wraps of vinyl tape. For cloth or paper semi-conductive shields, overwrap with one half-lapped layer of highly stretched semi-conductive rubber tape (e.g., Scotcht No. 13).

  5. Install and Crimp 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 it according to the manufacturer’s directions, leaving the last 3/8” to 1/2” uncrimped. Remove excess oxide inhibitor and all sharp crimp flashings/edges.

  6. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation with solvent-saturated pads, ensuring solvent does not touch the semi-conductive insulation shield. If abrasive cleaning is necessary, use only aluminum oxide abrasive (120 grit or finer) on the insulation only. Do not use abrasive on the semi-conductive insulation shield, and avoid reducing the cable insulation diameter.

  7. Install Silicone Rubber Termination Body

    Liberally coat the edge of the semi-conductive insulation shield with 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 removing the core, avoiding pushing or pulling on the assembly.

  8. Connect Ground Braid to System Ground

    Connect the installed ground braid securely to the system ground.
