How to Install the 15kV Ranger 2 Cable Termination (R2T15J2)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing the cable, installing the lug or connector, cleaning the cable insulation, and installing the silicone rubber termination for 15kV Ranger 2 cable terminations for indoor/outdoor applications.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Approved solvent applicator, Aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer, if needed), Knife or cable stripping tools

Supplies needed:

Silicone Rubber Termination, Lubricant, Grey Silicone Rubber Tape, Sealing Mastic, Gloves, Connector (optional), Vinyl tape or binding wire, Approved solvent, Silicone grease

  1. Prepare the Cable

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. Verify the cable size fits within the kit range using the Termination Selection Chart. Train the cable into position and cut to the required length, ensuring sufficient neutral wire length for grounding. Prepare the cable using the specified dimensions, allowing for terminal lug depth and additional exposed conductor distance for aluminum lug crimping. Carefully wrap one band of sealing mastic around the cable jacket 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end, using a 50% stretch. Cut mastic flush without overlapping. Bend the neutral wires back over the mastic, press them into the seal, and 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 a 50% stretch, and cut flush. Finally, wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal, maintaining the 1/4 inch (6mm) dimension.

  2. Install the Lug or Connector

    If using lugs 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/lug and crimp it according to its specific 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.

  3. 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. Exercise caution to avoid reducing the cable insulation diameter below the kit's allowed range.

  4. Install the Termination Body

    Create a track-resistant moisture seal by wrapping a band of gray silicone rubber tape around the base of the terminal lug. Adjust the number of tape layers based on whether the barrel diameter is equal to or greater than the cable primary insulation, or smaller. 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 it is flush with the bottom. Slide the termination body onto the cable, aligning it 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.

  5. Complete Termination 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, overlapping the termination insulator by approximately 1 inch and extending 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.
