How to Install the 15kV Ranger 2 Silicone Rubber Termination for Tape Shielded Cables
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the indoor installation of the 15kV Ranger 2 Shrink fit Silicone Rubber Termination on tape shielded cables, covering cable preparation, ground braid installation, lug connection, cleaning, and final termination setup. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Crimping tool, Wire strippers, Abrasive (aluminum oxide, grit 120 or finer), Soldering iron
Supplies needed:
15kV Ranger 2 Silicone Rubber Termination kit, Preformed Ground Braid, Constant Force Spring, Silicone Lubricant, Copper Foil Tape, Vinyl Tape, Solvent saturated pads, Terminal lug or connector, Gloves
- Prepare the Cable for Termination
Ensure the cable size is compatible with the termination kit using the Termination Selection Chart. De-energize all apparatus before starting. Train the cable into its final position and cut it to the required length. Prepare the cable by removing 9-1/4" (235mm) of the jacket, allowing for 1-1/2" (38mm) depth of the terminal lug plus any growth allowance for aluminum lugs (1/4" to 3/4" depending on size). Remove 3/4" (19mm) of the tape shield and 3/4" (19mm) of the insulation. Secure the edge of the tape shield with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape to prevent unrolling.
- Install the Ground Braid
Wrap one band of vinyl tape around the cable jacket 1/4" (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 this vinyl tape marker. 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" (6mm) dimension. 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, wrapping in the same direction as the braid. Cinch the spring after the final winding and secure it 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.
- Install the Terminal Lug or Connector
Verify that the termination assembly will fit over your selected lug. If the lug is too large for the termination core, clean the cable insulation and slide the termination body 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 instructions, ensuring not to crimp the last 3/8" to 1/2" (10-13mm) of the connector. After crimping, remove any excess oxide inhibitor and all sharp crimp flashings or edges.
- Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel
Thoroughly wipe the cable insulation with solvent-saturated pads, taking care not to let the 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 insulation shield. Ensure that the cable insulation diameter is not reduced below the kit's specifications.
- Install the Silicone Rubber Termination
Apply a liberal coating of silicone grease to the edge of the semi-conductive insulation shield 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's position and continue to remove the core completely. Avoid pushing or pulling on the termination assembly during core removal. Finally, connect the ground braid to the system ground.
