How to Install the R2T28J2 Ranger 2 Cable Termination

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the R2T28J2 28kV Ranger 2 Cable Termination on concentric and jacketed concentric neutral cables for indoor/outdoor applications. Ensure all safety precautions are followed.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Vinyl tape or binding wire, Approved solvent, Aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer, if needed), Gloves

Supplies needed:

R2T28J2 Silicone Rubber Termination kit (includes termination, lubricant, grey silicone rubber tape, sealing mastic, gloves), Compatible copper or aluminum lug/connector, Concentric or Jacketed Concentric Neutral Cable, Silicone grease, Cable Support Bracket (optional)

  1. Prepare the Cable

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. Check that the cable size fits within the kit range. Train the cable into position and cut to the required length, allowing sufficient neutral wire length for grounding. Prepare the cable using the dimensions provided in the kit's Termination Selection Chart and Table 1, allowing for the depth of the terminal lug and additional exposed conductor distance for aluminum lugs.

  2. Apply Mastic and Secure Neutral Wires

    Using 50% stretch, carefully wrap one band of sealing mastic around the cable jacket 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end. Position the mastic carefully as it serves as a marker for the terminator; cut it flush without overlapping. Bend the neutral wires back over the mastic and press them into it, then 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 previously applied mastic, again using 50% stretch and cutting flush. Finally, wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal, carefully maintaining the 1/4 inch (6mm) dimension.

  3. Install the Lug or Connector

    Ensure that the chosen connector or lug will fit through the termination core. If it will not, clean the cable insulation and slide the termination body 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, ensuring not to crimp the last 1/4 to 3/8 inch of the connector. After crimping, remove any excess oxide inhibitor and sharp crimp flashings.

  4. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation with an approved solvent, taking care not to allow the solvent to touch the semi-con insulation shield. If an abrasive must be used, apply it only to the insulation, not the semi-con shield. Use only aluminum oxide abrasive, grit 120 or finer, and be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below the kit's specified allowance.

  5. Create Moisture Seal at Lug Base

    Create a track-resistant moisture seal between the termination insulator and the lug/connector using the gray silicone rubber tape provided in the kit. Wrap a band of silicone 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 two layers. If the barrel diameter is smaller than the cable primary insulation, use the tape strip to build up the tape band to equal the insulation diameter.

  6. Prepare and Install the Termination Body

    Cover the edge of the semi-con insulation shield with a liberal coating of silicone grease; this fills 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 of the termination. Slide the termination body onto the cable, aligning the terminator 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, and do not push or pull on the termination assembly while removing the core material.

  7. Complete Termination and Ground Neutral Wires

    Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area, but do not lubricate the skirt tabs. Carefully fold down the skirt over the mastic seal. With the termination installed, complete the lug area moisture seal using the remaining gray silicone rubber tape. Overlap the termination insulator by approximately 1 inch and extend 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 connect them securely to the system ground. Finally, confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches.
