How to Install the 15kV Ranger 2 Shrink-Fit Silicone Rubber Termination (R2IT15M Series)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the indoor installation of the 15kV Ranger 2 Shrink-Fit Silicone Rubber Termination (R2IT15M series), covering cable preparation, ground braid installation, lug connection, and termination body placement. Specific cable preparation steps are detailed for tape shielded cables.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Cable preparation tools (e.g., cable knife, wire strippers), Crimping tool, Measuring tape or ruler, Solvent and cleaning pads, Abrasive (aluminum oxide, grit 120 or finer, if needed)

Supplies needed:

15kV Ranger 2 Shrink-Fit Silicone Rubber Termination kit (R2IT15M series), Preformed Ground Braid, Constant Force Spring, Silicone Lubricant, Copper Foil Tape, Vinyl Tape, Terminal Lug or Connector, Cable (Tape shield, Wire shield, or UniShield® type)

  1. Safety First: De-energize and Inspect

    DANGER: De-energize all apparatus in the work area before beginning installation. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all kit parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Ensure this product is installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment.

  2. Prepare Cable (Tape Shielded Cable Example)

    Verify the cable size fits within the termination's insulation range. Train and cut the cable to the required installation length. Remove the cable jacket, semi-conductive layer, and insulation to the specified dimensions (e.g., 9-1/4" (235mm) jacket removal), allowing for terminal lug depth and aluminum lug growth allowance. Secure the tape shield edge with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape to prevent unrolling. (Note: Cable preparation steps vary for Wire Shielded and UniShield® cables; refer to the full documentation for specific instructions for those types).

  3. Install Ground Braid

    Carefully wrap one band of vinyl tape around the cable jacket 1/4" (6mm) from the jacket end. Position the preformed ground braid with the 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 one complete wrap, trim any excess to prevent overlap, and secure it in place with the constant force spring, wrapping the spring in the same direction as the braid. Cinch (tighten) the spring after the final winding and secure it with two wraps of vinyl tape.

  4. Install Terminal Lug or Connector

    Check to ensure the termination assembly (with its core) fits over the selected lug or connector. If the lug will not fit, clean the 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 the last 3/8" to 1/2" (10-13mm) of the connector is not crimped. Remove any excess oxide inhibitor and all sharp crimp flashings or edges following crimping.

  5. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation thoroughly with solvent-saturated pads, taking care not to allow 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 shield, and ensure the cable insulation diameter is not reduced below the kit's allowed specifications.

  6. Install Termination Body and Ground

    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 removing the core, ensuring not to push or pull on the termination assembly during this process. Finally, connect the ground braid to the system ground.
