Overview

The ABB Ranger2 Termination (SKU: R2T15M1-N0230) is a 15kV outdoor cable termination designed for medium-voltage power distribution systems. This termination supports cable insulation diameters from 0.64 inch (16 mm) to 2.10 inch (53 mm), accommodating conductor sizes from #2 AWG through 1250 kcmil. It is compatible with tape shield, wire shield, or unshielded cable configurations, including XLP and EPR insulation types. Key features include a non-tracking silicone housing with superior weathering resistance and memory characteristics, ensuring long-term performance in outdoor environments. The shrink-fit housing design simplifies installation with common procedures and field-removable center core for easy access. The termination includes four sheds for enhanced creepage and strike distances, meeting 15kV outdoor service requirements. Electrical ratings include a maximum design voltage to ground of 9.5 kV, a coronal extinction voltage of ≤3 pC at 13 kV, and a lightning impulse withstand of 110 kV crest. It also withstands 45 kV for 10 seconds wet (60Hz), 50 kV for 1 minute dry (60Hz), and 35 kV for 5 hours dry (60Hz). The DC withstand rating is 15 minutes. The termination is designed for use in utility power lines, renewable energy projects, industrial facilities, and substations requiring reliable 15kV terminations. Optional connectors include copper stem, one-hole, and two-hole spade connectors (#2-1250 kcmil), with support brackets available in four sizes (0.80-2.40 inch O.D.). The pull-down jacket seal feature ensures secure installation in restricted spaces or free-hanging applications. Insulating silicone sleeves are available for additional creepage or wildlife protection needs.

How to Install the R2T15M1-N0230 Ranger 2 Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination on Tape Shielded Cables

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the R2T15M1-N0230 Ranger 2 Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination on tape shielded cables, including cable preparation, ground braid installation, lug connection, and termination placement.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Crimping tool, Cable preparation tools, Approved solvent, Aluminum oxide abrasive (120 grit or finer, if needed)

Supplies needed:

R2T15M1-N0230 Silicone Rubber Termination kit, Silicone lubricant, Gray silicone rubber electrical tape, Constant force spring, Preformed ground braid, Sealing mastic, Copper foil tape, Gloves, Terminal lug or connector (compatible with cable), Vinyl tape, Oxide inhibitor (for aluminum lugs)

  1. Prepare the Cable

    DANGER: De-energize all apparatus before starting. Verify the cable size fits the termination range. Train the cable into position and cut to the required length. Prepare the cable according to the provided dimensions, allowing for terminal lug depth and aluminum lug growth. Secure the tape shield edge with a single wrap of copper foil tape to prevent unrolling.

  2. Install the Ground Braid

    Wrap one band of mastic (50% stretch) around the cable jacket 1/4 inch (6mm) from the end, cutting flush. Position the preformed ground braid with the short tail over the tape shield and the solder block centered over the mastic. Secure the braid to the jacket with vinyl tape and press the solder block into the mastic. Apply a second mastic band (50% stretch) over the solder block and previous mastic, maintaining the 1/4 inch dimension, and cut flush. Wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal. Wrap the ground braid around the cable tape shield once, trim excess, and secure with the constant force spring, wrapping in the same direction. Cinch the spring and secure it with two wraps of vinyl tape.

  3. Install the Lug or Connector

    Check that the termination assembly fits over the selected lug. If not, 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 and crimp it according to the manufacturer's directions, avoiding crimping the last 3/8 to 1/2 inch. Remove any excess oxide inhibitor and all sharp crimp flashings or edges after crimping.

  4. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation with an approved solvent, ensuring the solvent does not touch the semi-conductive insulation shield. If abrasive cleaning is necessary, use only aluminum oxide abrasive (120 grit or finer) on the insulation, not the semi-conductive shield, and be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below the kit's allowed range.

  5. Install the Termination Body

    Create a track-resistant moisture seal by wrapping gray silicone rubber electrical tape around the base of the terminal lug. Apply a liberal coating of silicone grease to the edge of the semi-conductive insulation shield to fill the step. For lower terminations with a fold-down skirt, pull the loose end of the removable core through the top 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 counter-clockwise, ensuring the termination body (not the core) is butted against the leading edge of the mastic seal. Do not push or pull the assembly during core removal.

  6. Complete Moisture Seal and Ground Connection

    Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area (do not lubricate skirt tabs). Carefully fold down the skirt over the mastic seal. Complete the lug area moisture seal using the remaining gray silicone rubber electrical tape, overlapping the termination insulator by approximately 1 inch and extending over a non-crimped region of the lug/connector barrel with a half-lap configuration. Connect the ground braid to the system ground. Finally, confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches.
