Overview

The ABB Ranger2 Indoor Termination (SKU: R2IT15M4-N0380) is a high-reliability 15kV cable termination designed for indoor electrical distribution systems. Engineered to IEEE 48 standards, this termination supports cable insulation diameters from 1.30 inches to 2.10 inches, accommodating conductor sizes from #2 AWG to 1250 kcmil. The aluminum 2-hole spade connector ensures secure, low-resistance connections for stranded or compressed conductors up to 750 kcmil (Conductor Code 380) and solid conductors up to 900 kcmil. Compatible with tape shield, wire shield, and unshielded cable types, it provides versatile termination solutions for XLP and EPR cable constructions. The non-tracking silicone housing delivers superior weathering resistance and long-term performance in indoor environments, with optional insulating sleeves available for enhanced creepage and wildlife protection. The shrink-fit housing simplifies installation with common procedures and field-removable center cores, while the compact design allows for restricted-space applications and free-hanging installations. Key electrical ratings include a maximum design voltage to ground of 9.5kV, a coronal extinction voltage of ≤3pC at 13kV, and a lightning impulse withstand of 110kV crest. The termination operates reliably across an ambient temperature range of -22°F to +149°F (-30°C to +65°C) and at altitudes up to 3,300 feet (1,005 meters). Mounting options include free-hanging or optional support brackets, with installation guided by ABB’s IS-1135 instructions. This termination is ideal for utility and industrial power connections requiring secure, insulated termination points in indoor electrical infrastructure.

How to Install the 15kV Ranger 2 Shrink-fit Silicone Rubber Termination (R2IT15M4) on Tape Shielded Cables

This guide provides detailed instructions for installing the 15kV Ranger 2 Shrink-fit Silicone Rubber Termination (R2IT15M4) on tape shielded cables, covering cable preparation, ground braid installation, lug connection, cleaning, and final termination placement. Ensure all safety precautions are followed.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Crimping tool, Wire strippers, Cable cutting tool, Soldering iron, Solvent pads, Aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer, if needed)

Supplies needed:

15kV Ranger 2 Shrink-fit Silicone Rubber Termination kit, Preformed Ground Braid, Constant Force Spring, Silicone Lubricant, Copper Foil Tape, Gloves, Vinyl Tape, Terminal Lug or Connector

  1. Prepare Cable and Ensure Safety

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. Failure to follow instructions will result in damage and serious injury. This product should be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage safety. Check that the cable size fits within the insulation range specified. Train the cable into its final position and cut it to the required length. Prepare the cable by removing the jacket, semi-conductive layer, and insulation according to the dimensions provided, allowing for terminal lug depth and aluminum lug growth allowance. Prevent the tape shield from unrolling by holding its edge with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape.

  2. Install Ground Braid

    Wrap one band of vinyl tape around the cable jacket, 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end, to serve 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 marker. Secure the ground braid to the cable jacket using vinyl tape. Apply a second vinyl tape band directly over the original tape 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. Wrap the spring in the same direction as the ground braid and cinch it after the final winding. Secure the constant force spring with two wraps of vinyl tape.

  3. Install Terminal Lug or Connector

    Verify that the termination assembly will fit over the selected lug. If not, 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, ensuring not to 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 with solvent-saturated pads, taking care not to allow the solvent to touch the semi-conductive insulation shield. If abrasive cleaning is necessary, use only aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer) on the insulation only, avoiding the semi-conductive insulation shield. Be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below the kit's allowed specifications.

  5. Install Termination Body

    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 position and continue removing the core. Do not push or pull on the termination assembly while removing the core. Connect the ground braid to the system ground.
