How to Install the R2T15M4 Silicone Rubber Termination on Tape Shielded Cables
This guide provides detailed instructions for installing the 15kV Ranger 2 Shrink-fit Silicone Rubber Termination (R2T15M4) on tape shielded cables, covering cable preparation, ground braid installation, and final termination setup. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before starting.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Cable preparation tools, Crimping tool, Measuring tape or ruler, Approved solvent, Aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer, if needed)
Supplies needed:
R2T15M4 Silicone Rubber Termination kit, Silicone lubricant, Gray silicone rubber electrical tape, Constant force spring, Preformed ground braid, Sealing mastic, Copper foil tape, Gloves, Vinyl tape, Terminal lug or connector
- Prepare the Cable
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. Verify the cable size fits within the insulation range specified in the Termination Selection Chart. Train the cable into position and cut it to the required length. Prepare the cable using the dimensions provided in Table 1, allowing for the depth of the terminal lug and additional exposed conductor distance for aluminum lug growth. Secure the edge of the tape shield with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape to prevent unrolling.
- Install the Ground Braid
Carefully wrap one band of sealing mastic around the cable jacket 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end, using 50% stretch, and cut it flush without overlapping. Position the preformed ground braid with its short tail over the tape shield and the solder block centered over the mastic strip. Secure the ground braid to the cable jacket using 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, and cut it flush. Wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal. Wrap the ground braid around the cable tape shield one complete wrap, trim any excess to prevent overlap, and secure it in place with the constant force spring. Wrap the spring in the same direction as the ground braid, cinch it after the final winding, and secure it with two wraps of vinyl tape. For cloth or paper semi-conductive shields, overwrap with one half-lapped layer of highly stretched semi-conductive rubber tape.
- Install the Terminal Lug or Connector
Check that the termination assembly fits over the selected lug. If it does not, 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, ensuring not to crimp the last 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch of the connector. Remove any excess oxide inhibitor and all sharp crimp flashings and edges after crimping.
- Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel
Wipe the cable insulation with an approved solvent, ensuring the solvent does not touch the semi-conductive insulation shield. If abrasive material is necessary, use only aluminum oxide abrasive (grit 120 or finer) on the insulation, not on the semi-conductive insulation shield. Be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below the kit's allowed specifications.
- Install the Termination Body
Create a track-resistant moisture seal between the termination insulator and the lug/connector by wrapping a band of gray silicone rubber electrical tape around the base of the terminal lug. Adjust the number of tape layers (not exceeding two) if the barrel diameter is equal to or greater than the cable primary insulation, or form the tape band to equal the insulation diameter if the barrel is smaller. Cover the edge of the semi-conductive 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 until it is flush with the bottom of the termination. Slide the termination body onto the cable, aligning it 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. Continue removing the core without pushing or pulling on the termination assembly.
- Complete Moisture Seal and Ground Connection
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. Complete the lug area moisture seal using the remaining gray silicone rubber electrical tape, 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. Connect the ground braid to the system ground. Finally, confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches.
