How to Install the R2T15M4 Silicone Rubber Termination on Tape Shielded Cables
This guide provides detailed instructions for installing the R2T15M4 Ranger 2 Shrink-fit Silicone Rubber Termination on 15kV tape shielded cables, covering cable preparation, ground braid installation, lug connection, and termination placement.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Crimping tool, Wire strippers, Soldering iron, Cable preparation knife, Solvent applicator pads, Aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer, if needed)
Supplies needed:
R2T15M4 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 electrical tape, Approved solvent, Semi-conductive rubber tape (e.g., Scotcht No. 13, if cable has cloth or paper semi-con shield)
- De-energize and Prepare Cable
DANGER: De-energize all apparatus before beginning installation. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. Verify cable size fits within the termination kit's insulation range. Train the cable into position and cut it to the required length. Prepare the cable by removing the jacket, tape shield, and semi-conductive layer according to the specified dimensions, allowing for terminal lug depth and aluminum lug growth allowance. Secure the edge of the tape shield with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape.
- Install Ground Braid
Wrap one band of sealing mastic around the cable jacket 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end, stretching it to 50%. Position the preformed ground braid with its short tail over the tape shield and the solder block centered over the mastic. Secure the ground braid to the cable jacket with vinyl tape and press the solder block into the mastic. Apply a second mastic band over the solder block and previous mastic, maintaining the 1/4 inch (6mm) dimension. 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 it with the constant force spring, wrapping in the same direction. Cinch the spring and secure it with two wraps of vinyl tape. If the cable has a cloth or paper semi-conductive shield, overwrap it with one half-lapped layer of highly stretched semi-conductive rubber tape.
- Install Terminal Lug or Connector
Ensure the termination assembly can fit over the selected lug. If the lug will not fit through the termination core, clean the cable insulation and slide the termination onto the cable before installing the lug (do not remove the core at this time). Position the terminal lug or connector and crimp it according to the manufacturer's instructions, leaving the last 3/8 to 1/2 inch uncrimped. Remove any excess oxide inhibitor and sharp crimp flashings or edges following crimping.
- Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel
Wipe the cable insulation with an approved solvent, ensuring no solvent touches 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 shield, and be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below that allowed by the kit.
- Install and Seal the Termination
Create a track-resistant moisture seal by wrapping a band of gray silicone rubber electrical tape around the base of the terminal lug. Adjust the tape layers (max 2) or build up the band to match the insulation diameter if the lug barrel is smaller than the cable primary insulation. Liberally coat the edge of the semi-conductive insulation shield with silicone grease to fill the step. Pull the loose end of the removable core through the top of the termination 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 it counter-clockwise, ensuring the termination body (not the core) butts against the leading edge of the mastic seal. Continue removing the core without pushing or pulling the termination assembly. Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area (avoiding skirt tabs) and carefully fold down the skirt over the mastic seal. Complete the lug area moisture seal with 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.
