How to Install the R2T28M2 Ranger 2 Shrink-Fit Silicone Rubber Termination

This guide provides detailed instructions for the safe and proper installation of the R2T28M2 Ranger 2 Shrink-Fit Silicone Rubber Termination, including cable preparation, ground braid installation, and termination assembly for tape shielded cables.

Tools needed:

Crimping tool, Wire strippers, Measuring tape, Utility knife

Supplies needed:

R2T28M2 Termination Kit (includes silicone rubber termination, lubricant, gray silicone rubber tape, constant force spring, preformed ground braid, sealing mastic, copper foil tape, gloves), Vinyl electrical tape, Approved solvent, Compatible terminal lug or connector, Aluminum oxide abrasive (optional, 120 grit or finer)

  1. Safety and Initial Inspection

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. Inspect all kit contents for completeness and damage. Verify all components are compatible with the cable and mating products. Read these instructions entirely before starting and have all required tools ready, maintaining cleanliness throughout the procedure.

  2. Prepare Cable

    Verify the cable size fits within the insulation range specified in the Termination Selection Chart. Train the cable into its final position and cut it to the required length, allowing for terminal lug depth and conductor growth during crimping. Prepare the cable jacket, semi-con, and insulation according to the dimensions provided in Table 1. To prevent the tape shield from unrolling, secure its edge with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape.

  3. Install Ground Braid

    Wrap one band of sealing mastic around the cable jacket, 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end, using 50% stretch. 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 with vinyl tape and press the solder block firmly into the mastic. Apply a second mastic band over the solder block and the first mastic band, maintaining the 1/4 inch (6mm) dimension. Wrap two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape around the mastic seal. Wrap the ground braid once around the cable tape shield, trim any excess to prevent overlap, and secure it in place with the constant force spring, wrapping in the same direction as the braid. Cinch the spring after the final winding and secure it with two wraps of vinyl tape.

  4. Install Lug or Connector

    Confirm that the termination assembly can fit over the selected lug. If not, slide the termination onto the cable before installing the lug (do not remove the core at this stage). Position the connector or lug and crimp it according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the last 3/8 to 1/2 inch of the connector remains uncrimped. After crimping, remove any excess oxide inhibitor and all sharp crimp flashings or edges.

  5. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation thoroughly with an approved solvent. Exercise caution to prevent the solvent from touching the semi-conductive insulation shield. If abrasive cleaning is necessary, use only aluminum oxide abrasive, 120 grit or finer, exclusively on the insulation. Do not use abrasive on the semi-con insulation shield, and ensure the cable insulation diameter is not reduced below the kit's allowed range.

  6. Install Termination Body

    Create a track-resistant moisture seal between the termination insulator and the lug/connector using the gray silicone rubber electrical tape from the kit. Wrap a band of this tape around the base of the terminal lug. If the barrel diameter is equal to or greater than the cable primary insulation, use no more than two layers. If the barrel diameter is smaller, build up the tape band to match the insulation diameter. Apply a liberal coating of silicone grease to the edge of the semi-conductive insulation shield 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 begin to remove the core by unwinding it counter-clockwise, starting with the loose end. Ensure the termination body, not the core, is butted against the leading edge of the mastic seal. Continue removing the core completely, taking care not to push or pull on the termination assembly during this process.

  7. Complete Termination Sealing and Grounding

    Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area, but avoid lubricating 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. Overlap the termination insulator by approximately 1 inch and extend the tape wrapping over a non-crimped region of the lug/connector barrel using a half-lap configuration. Connect the ground braid securely to the system ground. Finally, confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches.
