How to Install the R2T15/28J Ranger 2 Cable Termination

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the R2T15/28J Ranger 2 Cable Termination for 15kV and 28kV indoor/outdoor applications on concentric and jacketed concentric neutral cables.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Approved solvent, Aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer, optional), Vinyl tape or binding wire, Gloves

Supplies needed:

R2T15/28J Silicone Rubber Termination kit, Lubricant (included in kit), Grey Silicone Rubber Tape (included in kit), Sealing Mastic (included in kit), Connector or Lug (compatible with cable), System ground connection materials

  1. Ensure Safety and Prepare for Installation

    DANGER: De-energize all apparatus before installation or removal. Ensure installation is performed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. Check the kit contents for completeness and inspect all components for damage and compatibility with the cable and mating products. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. Confirm the cable size fits within the kit's specified range.

  2. Prepare the Cable End

    Train the cable into its final position and cut it to the required length, allowing sufficient neutral wire length for grounding. Prepare the cable by stripping the jacket, neutral wires, and semi-con insulation shield according to the dimensions provided in the instructions, allowing for terminal lug depth and conductor growth during crimping. Carefully wrap one band of sealing mastic around the cable jacket 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end, stretching 50%, and cut flush without overlap. Bend the neutral wires back over the mastic 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 first mastic, stretching 50% and cutting flush. Wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal, maintaining the 1/4 inch (6mm) dimension.

  3. Install the Terminal Lug or Connector

    If using a lug that does 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 or lug onto the prepared conductor and crimp it according to the manufacturer's directions. Do not crimp the last 1/4 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, taking care not to allow the solvent to touch the semi-con insulation shield. If abrasive cleaning is necessary, use only aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer) on the insulation only, ensuring not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below the kit's allowed range. Do not use abrasive on the semi-con insulation shield.

  5. Install the Silicone Rubber Termination Body

    Create a track-resistant moisture seal by wrapping a band of gray silicone rubber tape around the base of the terminal lug. If the barrel diameter is smaller than the cable primary insulation, build up the tape 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. 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 it with the forward edge of the mastic seal. Carefully remove the core by unwinding it counter-clockwise, starting with the loose end, ensuring the termination body butts against the mastic seal without pushing or pulling the assembly. Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area (do not lubricate skirt tabs), then carefully fold down the skirt over the mastic seal.

  6. Complete Moisture Seal and Grounding Connections

    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 securely connect them to the system ground. Finally, confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches.
