How to Install 15kV & 28kV Ranger 2 Cable Terminations

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation of 15kV and 28kV Ranger 2 Cable Terminations on concentric and jacketed concentric neutral cables for indoor/outdoor applications. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before starting and that installation is performed by competent personnel.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Approved solvent applicator (e.g., clean cloth), Abrasive (aluminum oxide, 120 grit or finer, if needed), Measuring tape or ruler, Utility knife or cable preparation tools

Supplies needed:

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

  1. Perform Initial Checks and Safety

    Check the contents of the package to ensure they are complete and undamaged. Verify all components for proper fit with the cable and/or mating products. Read the entire installation instructions before starting. Ensure all required tools are at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. This product should be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment.

  2. Prepare Cable Dimensions

    Confirm the cable size fits within the kit range as shown in the Termination Selection Chart. Train the cable into position and cut to the required length, allowing sufficient neutral wire length for grounding. Prepare the cable by removing the jacket, neutral wires, semi-con, and conductor to the specified dimensions, allowing for the depth of the terminal lug and additional exposed conductor distance for crimping growth (e.g., 1/4" (6mm) for #2-350 Kcmil).

  3. Apply Mastic and Secure Neutral Wires

    Carefully wrap one band of sealing mastic around the cable jacket 1/4" (6mm) from the jacket end, using a 50% stretch. Cut the mastic flush without overlapping. Bend the neutral wires back over the mastic and press them into the seal. Secure the neutral wires to the cable jacket 4-6" (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 cutting flush. Wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal, carefully maintaining the 1/4" (6mm) dimension.

  4. Install 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 yet). Position the connector/lug and crimp it according to its directions, ensuring not to crimp the last 1/4" to 3/8" of the connector. Remove any excess oxide inhibitor and sharp crimp flashings after crimping.

  5. 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 must be used, apply it only on the insulation, not the semi-con insulation shield. Use only aluminum oxide abrasive, grit 120 or finer, and be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below the kit's allowed range.

  6. Prepare Termination for Installation

    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 smaller than the cable primary insulation, use the tape to build up the band to equal 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.

  7. Install Termination Body

    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 begin to remove the core by unwinding it counter-clockwise, starting with the loose end. Ensure the termination body, not the core, remains butted up to the leading edge of the mastic seal. Do not push or pull on the termination assembly while removing the core material.

  8. Complete Skirt and Moisture Seal

    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" and extend the tape wrapping over a non-crimped region of the lug/connector barrel with a half-lap configuration.

  9. Ground Neutral Wires and Final Check

    Twist the concentric neutral wires together and connect them securely to the system ground. Confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches.
