How to Install the 15kV Ranger 2 Cable Termination (R2T15J4 Series)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the installation of 15kV Ranger 2 Cable Terminations (R2T15J4 series) for both indoor and outdoor applications on concentric and jacketed concentric neutral cables. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Cable strippers, Crimping tool, Utility knife, Cleaning rags

Supplies needed:

Silicone rubber termination, Silicone lubricant, Grey silicone rubber tape, Sealing mastic, Gloves, Connector/Lug, Vinyl tape or binding wire, Approved solvent, Aluminum oxide abrasive (optional)

  1. Prepare the Cable

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Verify the cable size fits within the kit's specified range. Train the cable into its final position and cut it to the required length, ensuring sufficient neutral wire length for grounding connections. Prepare the cable according to the specified dimensions, allowing for terminal lug depth and additional conductor length for aluminum lug crimping. Carefully wrap one band of sealing mastic around the cable jacket 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end, using a 50% stretch, and cut it flush without overlapping. Bend the neutral wires back over the mastic, press them into 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 band, using a 50% stretch, and cut it flush. Finally, wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal, carefully maintaining the 1/4 inch (6mm) dimension.

  2. 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 or lug and crimp it according to the manufacturer's directions. Do not crimp the last 1/4 to 3/8 inch of the connector. After crimping, remove any excess oxide inhibitor and sharp crimp flashings.

  3. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

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

  4. Install the Termination

    Wrap a band of gray silicone rubber tape around the base of the terminal lug to create a track-resistant moisture seal, adjusting the number of layers based on the barrel diameter relative to the cable primary insulation. Liberally coat the edge of the semi-con insulation shield with 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 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 from the loose end, ensuring the termination body is butted against the leading edge of the mastic seal without pushing or pulling the assembly. Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area (do not lubricate skirt tabs), then carefully fold down the skirt over the mastic seal. Use the remaining gray silicone rubber tape to complete the moisture seal in the lug area, overlapping the termination insulator by approximately 1 inch 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 connect them to the system ground. Finally, confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches.
