How to Install the R2T15M2 Ranger 2 Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the R2T15M2 15kV Ranger 2 Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination on tape shielded cables, covering cable preparation, ground braid installation, lug connection, and termination application.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Approved solvent, Aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer, optional), Utility knife or scissors

Supplies needed:

R2T15M2 Silicone Rubber Termination kit (includes termination, lubricant, gray silicone rubber tape, constant force spring, preformed ground braid, sealing mastic, copper foil tape, gloves), Terminal Lug or Connector (compatible with cable), Vinyl tape, High voltage insulated caps or connectors (if replacing shipping covers)

  1. Prepare Cable

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. Before starting, verify kit contents, cable size, and compatibility. Train the cable into position and cut to the required length. Prepare the cable by removing the jacket, semi-con, and insulation to the specified dimensions, allowing for terminal lug depth and aluminum lug growth. Secure the tape shield edge with the supplied copper foil tape.

  2. Install Ground Braid

    Apply the first band of mastic 1/4" (6mm) from the jacket end with 50% stretch, cutting flush. Position the preformed ground braid with the solder block centered over the mastic and secure it to the cable jacket with vinyl tape. Apply a second mastic band over the solder block. Wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal. Wrap the ground braid around the cable tape shield, trim excess, and secure it with the constant force spring and two wraps of vinyl tape.

  3. Install Lug or Connector

    Confirm the termination assembly fits over the selected lug. If not, slide the termination onto the cable before installing the lug. Position the connector/lug and crimp according to the manufacturer’s directions, leaving the last 3/8" to 1/2" uncrimped. Remove any excess oxide inhibitor and sharp crimp flashings or edges.

  4. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation with an approved solvent, taking care not to touch the semi-con insulation shield. If abrasive cleaning is necessary, use only aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer) on the insulation, ensuring the cable insulation diameter is not reduced below the kit's allowance.

  5. Install Termination Body

    Create a track-resistant moisture seal at the base of the terminal lug using gray silicone rubber tape (1-2 layers or built up to insulation diameter). Apply silicone grease to the edge of the semi-con insulation shield. Pull the removable core flush with the bottom of the termination. Slide the termination body onto the cable, align with the mastic seal, and carefully remove the core by unwinding counter-clockwise. Do not push or pull the termination during core removal.

  6. Complete Sealing and Grounding

    Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area, avoiding 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" 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.
