How to Install the R2T28J2 Cable Termination

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the R2T28J2 Ranger 2 Cable Termination for 28kV indoor/outdoor applications on concentric and jacketed concentric neutral cables.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Measuring tape, Utility knife, Cleaning cloths, Vinyl tape or binding wire

Supplies needed:

R2T28J2 Silicone Rubber Termination kit, Approved solvent, Aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer, optional), Silicone grease, Terminal lug or connector, Grounding connection materials

  1. Prepare for Installation and Safety Checks

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before starting installation. This product must be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage safety practices. Inspect all kit contents for completeness and damage, and verify compatibility with the cable and mating products. Gather all required tools and maintain a clean work area throughout the procedure.

  2. Prepare the Cable

    Confirm the cable size fits within the kit's specified range. Train the cable into position and cut to the required length, ensuring sufficient neutral wire length for grounding. Prepare the cable according to the dimensions provided in Table 1 and the 'X' values for conductor exposure, allowing for terminal lug depth. Apply one band of sealing mastic with 50% stretch, 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end, cutting it flush without overlap. Bend neutral wires back over the mastic and secure them to the cable jacket 4-6 inches (100-150mm) from the cut edge using vinyl tape or binding wire. Apply a second mastic band over the neutral wires and the first mastic, cutting it flush. Wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape over the mastic seal, maintaining the 1/4 inch (6mm) dimension.

  3. Install the Terminal Lug or Connector

    If using a lug that will not fit through the termination core, clean the cable insulation and slide the termination body onto the cable before installing the lug (do not remove the core yet). Position the terminal lug or connector and crimp it according to its directions, ensuring the last 1/4 to 3/8 inch (6-10mm) of the connector is left uncrimped. After crimping, remove any excess oxide inhibitor and sharp crimp flashings.

  4. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation thoroughly with an approved solvent, taking care not to let the solvent touch the semi-con insulation shield. If abrasive cleaning is necessary, use only aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer) on the insulation, avoiding the semi-con shield. 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 a band of grey silicone rubber tape around the base of the terminal lug. If the barrel diameter is smaller than the cable primary insulation, build up the tape band to match the insulation diameter. Apply a liberal coating of silicone grease to the edge of the semi-con 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 of the termination. Slide the termination body onto the cable, aligning its forward edge with the mastic seal. Carefully remove the core by unwinding it counter-clockwise from the loose end, ensuring the termination body remains butted against the mastic seal without pushing or pulling the assembly.

  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 grey silicone rubber tape, overlapping the termination insulator by approximately 1 inch (25mm) and extending the tape wrapping over a non-crimped region of the lug/connector barrel with a half-lap configuration. Twist the concentric neutral wires together and securely connect them to the system ground. Finally, confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches (38mm).
