Overview

The ABB Ranger2 Termination (SKU: R2T28J4-N0310) is a 25/28 kV outdoor cable termination designed for Concentric Neutral (CN) and Jacketed Concentric Neutral (JCN) cables with insulation diameters from 1.30 to 2.10 inches. This termination system leverages shrink-fit technology and Elastimold’s pull-down jacket seal feature to deliver a versatile solution covering a wide range of applications with minimal model variation. The R2T28J4-N0310 accommodates conductor sizes from #2 AWG up to 1250 kcmil, supporting both 400 kcmil stranded/compressed and 500 kcmil compact/solid configurations. The included Aluminum 2-hole spade connector ensures secure, high-conductivity connections with excellent corrosion resistance for outdoor installations. The non-tracking silicone housing provides superior weathering characteristics and memory, while the six-shed design maximizes creepage and strike distances for long-term service in demanding field conditions. The field-removable center core simplifies installation, and the compact design allows for restricted-space applications or free-hanging installations. Optional insulating silicone sleeves are available for enhanced creepage or wildlife protection. This product is ideal for utilities and industrial facilities requiring reliable medium-voltage power distribution termination solutions.

How to Install the R2T28J4 Ranger 2 Cable Termination

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 15kV & 28kV Ranger 2 Cable Termination on concentric and jacketed concentric neutral cables for indoor/outdoor applications. It covers cable preparation, lug installation, cleaning, and termination assembly.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Crimping tool, Wire strippers, Cable cutting tool, Measuring tape

Supplies needed:

R2T28J4 Silicone Rubber Termination, Silicone Lubricant, Grey Silicone Rubber Tape, Sealing Mastic, Gloves, Electrical Connector/Lug, Vinyl tape or binding wire, Approved solvent, Aluminum oxide abrasive (optional), Silicone grease

  1. De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Components

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Verify that the kit contents are complete and undamaged, and that all components fit properly with the cable and/or mating products. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning.

  2. Prepare the Cable

    Train the cable into position and cut it to the required length for installation, ensuring sufficient neutral wire length for the grounding connection. Prepare the cable using the dimensions provided in the instructions, allowing for the depth of the terminal lug and additional exposed conductor distance for crimping. Apply the first band of sealing mastic around the cable jacket 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end, using 50% stretch, and cut it flush without overlap. Bend the neutral wires back over and press them into the sealing mastic, 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, using 50% stretch, and cut it flush without overlap. 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

    If using a lug that 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 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch of the connector. Remove any excess oxide inhibitor and sharp crimp flashings after crimping.

  4. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation with an approved solvent. Do not allow the solvent to touch the semi-con insulation shield. If abrasive must be used, apply it only on the insulation (not the semi-con shield), use aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer), and be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below that allowed by the kit.

  5. Install the Termination Body

    Create a track-resistant moisture seal by wrapping a band of gray silicone rubber tape around the base of the terminal lug. Adjust the number of layers based on whether the barrel diameter is equal to or smaller than the cable primary insulation. Cover the edge of the semi-con insulation shield with a liberal coating of silicone grease to fill 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. 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, starting with the loose end, ensuring the termination body (not the core) is butted up to the leading edge of the mastic seal. Do not push or pull on the termination assembly during core removal.

  6. Complete Termination Sealing and Grounding

    Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area (do not lubricate 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 inch and extending over a non-crimped region of the lug/connector barrel with a half-lap configuration. Twist the concentric neutral wires together and connect them to the system ground. Confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches.
