How to Install the R2T15M1/R2T28M Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination
This guide provides detailed instructions for installing the 15kV and 28kV Ranger 2 Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination on various cable types, including tape shield, wire shield, and UniShield® cables. It covers cable preparation, ground braid installation, lug/connector attachment, and the final termination body installation.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Crimping tool, Wire strippers, Soldering iron, Utility knife, Solvent applicator pads, Aluminum oxide abrasive (120 grit or finer), Measuring tape or ruler
Supplies needed:
R2T15M1/R2T28M Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination kit (includes termination, lubricant, gray silicone rubber tape, constant force spring, preformed ground braid, sealing mastic, copper foil tape, gloves), Vinyl electrical tape, Terminal lug or connector, Approved solvent, Oxide inhibitor (for aluminum lugs), Scotcht No. 13 semi-conductive rubber tape (if applicable)
- Prepare the Cable
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. Verify the cable size fits within the termination's insulation range. Train the cable into position and cut it to the required length for installation. Prepare the cable by removing the jacket, shield (tape, wire, or semi-conductive jacket for UniShield®), and semi-conductive layer according to the specified dimensions, allowing for the depth of the terminal lug and any growth allowance for aluminum lugs. For tape shield cables, secure the tape shield edge with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape. For wire shield cables, bend the leading 1-1/2" (38mm) of exposed shield wires back to the jacket edge. For UniShield® cables, follow specific instructions for removing the semi-conductive jacket and managing shield wires.
- Install the Ground Braid
Carefully wrap one band of sealing mastic (using 50% stretch) around the cable jacket 1/4" (6mm) from the jacket end. Position the preformed ground braid with the short tail over the cable shield and the solder block centered over the mastic strip. Secure the ground braid to the cable jacket using vinyl tape and press the solder block firmly into the mastic. Apply a second mastic band (50% stretch) over the solder block and the previously applied mastic, maintaining the 1/4" (6mm) dimension, and cut flush. Wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal. Wrap the ground braid around the cable shield one complete wrap, trim any excess to prevent overlap, and secure it in place with the constant force spring. Wrap the spring in the same direction as the ground braid, cinch (tighten) it after the final winding, and secure it with two wraps of vinyl tape. SPECIAL NOTE: If the cable has a cloth or paper semi-conductive insulation shield, overwrap it with one half-lapped layer of highly stretched semi-conductive rubber tape such as Scotcht No. 13.
- Install the Lug or Connector
Check to ensure the termination assembly fits over the selected lug. If the lug 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 3/8" to 1/2" of the connector. Remove any excess oxide inhibitor and all sharp crimp flashings and edges following crimping.
- 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 (grit 120 or finer) on the insulation, avoiding the semi-conductive insulation shield. Be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below that allowed by the kit.
- Install the Termination Body and Complete Seals
Create a track-resistant moisture seal by wrapping a band of gray silicone rubber electrical 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-conductive 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 begin to 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. Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area (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 electrical tape, overlapping the termination insulator by approximately 1" and extending the tape wrapping 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".
