How to Install the R2T15J2-N0220 15kV Ranger 2 Cable Termination

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the R2T15J2-N0220 15kV Ranger 2 Cable Termination on concentric and jacketed concentric neutral cables for indoor/outdoor applications, ensuring proper cable preparation, lug installation, and termination sealing.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Cable preparation knife, Wire strippers, Crimping tool

Supplies needed:

Lubricant (Silicone), Grey Silicone Rubber Tape, Sealing Mastic, Gloves, Vinyl tape, Approved solvent, Aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer), Compatible terminal lug or connector, Binding wire (optional), Cable Support Bracket (optional)

  1. Ensure Safety and Prepare for Installation

    DANGER: De-energize all apparatus during installation or removal. Install and operate in accordance with individual user, local, and national work rules. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all parts for damage, rating, and compatibility with mating parts. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. Check the contents of the package to ensure they are complete and undamaged. Verify all components fit properly with the cable and/or mating products. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.

  2. Prepare the Cable Jacket and Neutral Wires

    Verify the cable size fits within the kit range. Train the cable into position and cut it to the required length, allowing sufficient neutral wire length for the grounding connection. Prepare the cable using the dimensions shown in the instructions, ensuring to allow for the depth of the terminal lug and additional exposed conductor distance for aluminum lugs. Using 50% stretch, carefully wrap one band of sealing mastic around the cable jacket 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end; cut flush without overlapping. Bend the neutral wires back over and press them into the sealing mastic, then secure them to the cable jacket 4-6 inches (100-150mm) from the cut edge using vinyl tape or binding wire. Apply a second mastic band over the neutral wires and the previously applied mastic, using 50% stretch, and cut flush. Wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal, carefully maintaining the 1/4 inch (6mm) dimension.

  3. Install the Terminal Lug or Connector

    If using a lug that will not fit through the termination core, 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. Do not crimp the last 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch of the connector. After crimping, remove any excess oxide inhibitor and sharp crimp flashings.

  4. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation with an approved solvent, ensuring the solvent does not touch the semi-con insulation shield. If an abrasive is necessary, use only aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer) on the insulation only; do not use it on the semi-con insulation shield. Be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below the kit's allowed specifications.

  5. Install the Termination Body

    Create a track-resistant moisture seal between the termination insulator and the lug/connector using the gray silicone rubber tape from the kit. Wrap a band of silicone tape around the base of the terminal lug; if the barrel diameter is equal to or greater than the cable primary insulation, the tape band should not exceed 2 layers. If the barrel diameter is smaller, use the tape strip to form the tape band equal to the insulation diameter. Cover the edge of the semi-con insulation shield with a liberal coating of silicone grease to fill the step at the semi-con cut-off. For lower terminations with a fold-down skirt, pull the loose end of the removable core through the top of the termination until the core is flush with the bottom. Slide the termination body onto the cable, aligning the terminator with the forward edge of the mastic seal. Carefully remove the core by unwinding it counter-clockwise, starting with the loose end. Ensure the termination body, not the core, is butted up to the leading edge of the mastic seal. Do not push or pull on the termination assembly while removing the core material.

  6. Complete Sealing and Grounding

    Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area, but do not lubricate the skirt tabs. Carefully fold down the skirt over the mastic seal. Complete the lug area moisture seal using the remaining gray silicone rubber tape. Overlap the termination insulator by approximately 1 inch and extend the tape wrapping over a non-crimped region of the lug/connector barrel with a half-lap configuration. Twist the concentric neutral wires together and connect them securely to the system ground. Finally, confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches.
