How to Install the 15kV & 28kV Ranger 2 Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the 15kV & 28kV Ranger 2 Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination on tape shield, wire shield, or UniShield® cables, including cable preparation, ground braid installation, and termination sealing.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Crimping tool, Soldering iron, Wire strippers, Measuring tape or ruler, Utility knife or cable preparation tool, Aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer), Solvent saturated pads or clean cloths
Supplies needed:
R2T15/28M Shrink Fit Silicone Rubber Termination Kit (includes: Silicone Rubber Termination, Lubricant, Gray Silicone Rubber Tape, Constant Force Spring, Preformed Ground Braid, Sealing Mastic, Copper Foil Tape, Gloves), Vinyl electrical tape, Approved electrical solvent, Terminal lug or connector, Scotch® No. 13 semi-conductive rubber tape (optional, for specific cable types), Cable support bracket (optional)
- Perform Pre-Installation Safety Checks and Preparations
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products in the work area. Inspect the kit contents 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 and have all required tools at hand, maintaining cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Prepare the Cable
Train the cable into position, cut to the required length, and prepare the cable end according to the specific cable type (tape shield, wire shield, or UniShield®) and the dimensions provided in the Termination Selection Chart and Table 1. Allow for the depth of the terminal lug and any growth allowance for aluminum lugs. For tape shield cables, prevent unrolling with copper foil tape. For wire shield cables, bend shield wires back. For UniShield® cables, install and remove the constant force spring to aid jacket removal and bend shield wires back.
- Install the Ground Braid
Carefully wrap one band of 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 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 into the mastic. Apply a second mastic band over the solder block and the first mastic, then wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape over the mastic seal. Wrap the ground braid around the cable shield one complete wrap, trim excess, and secure it with the constant force spring, cinching it tightly and securing with two wraps of vinyl tape. SPECIAL NOTE: For cloth or paper semi-conductive insulation shields, overwrap with one half-lapped layer of highly stretched semi-conductive rubber tape such as Scotch® 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/lug and crimp it according to the manufacturer's directions, ensuring not to 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 only, avoiding the semi-conductive shield. Be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below that allowed by the kit.
- Install the Termination Body
Create a track-resistant moisture seal between the termination insulator and the lug/connector by wrapping a band of gray silicone rubber electrical tape around the base of the terminal lug. Cover the edge of the semi-conductive insulation shield with a liberal coating of silicone grease to fill the step. Pull the loose end of the removable core through the top of the termination until the core is flush with the bottom of the termination. 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. Make sure the termination body, not the core, is butted up to the leading edge of the mastic seal. Continue to remove the core, ensuring not to push or pull on the termination assembly while doing so.
- Complete Termination Sealing and Grounding
Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area, ensuring not to 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. Confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5".
