How to Install the R2T35M2 35kV Silicone Rubber Termination for Tape Shielded Cable
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the R2T35M2 35kV Ranger 2 Shrink fit Silicone Rubber Termination on tape shielded cables, including cable preparation, ground braid installation, lug connection, and termination placement.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Crimping tool, Wire strippers, Knife, Measuring tape
Supplies needed:
Silicone Rubber Termination Halves, Silicone Lubricant, Gray Silicone Rubber Electrical Tape, Constant Force Spring, Preformed Ground Braid, Sealing Mastic, Copper Foil Tape, Gloves, Vinyl Tape, Approved Solvent, Aluminum Oxide Abrasive (120 grit or finer), Terminal Lug/Connector (compatible with cable)
- Prepare the Cable and Apply Copper Foil Tape
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. This product should be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Verify the cable size fits within the insulation range and cut the cable to the required length. Measure and remove the cable jacket, semi-conductive layer, and tape shield according to the specified dimensions, allowing for terminal lug growth. Secure the tape shield edge with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape to prevent unrolling.
- Install the Ground Braid Assembly
Wrap one band of sealing mastic (using 50% stretch) around the cable jacket 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket end, cutting it flush without overlap. Position the preformed ground braid with the 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 firmly into the mastic. Apply a second mastic band (50% stretch) over the solder block and previous mastic, then 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. Cinch the spring tightly after wrapping 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 and Clean the Terminal Lug/Connector
Check to ensure the termination assembly fits over the selected lug. If the lug 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 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch of the connector. Remove any excess oxide inhibitor and all sharp crimp flashings and edges following crimping. Wipe the cable insulation with an approved solvent, taking care not to allow the solvent to touch the semi-conductive insulation shield. If abrasive must be used, apply it only on the insulation (not the semi-con shield) using aluminum oxide abrasive, grit 120 or finer, and be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below the kit allowance.
- Install the Lower Termination Half
Create a track-resistant moisture seal between the termination insulator and the lug/connector using the supplied gray silicone rubber electrical tape. Wrap a band of silicone tape around the base of the terminal lug; if the barrel diameter is smaller than the cable primary insulation, use the tape strip to form the tape band equal to the insulation diameter. 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. On the lower termination 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 up to the leading edge of the mastic seal. Continue to remove the core, and do not push or pull on the termination assembly while removing it.
- Install the Upper Termination Half and Complete Sealing
Using the second housing, carefully pull the core down to within one coil of the bottom. Slide the termination over the cable and carefully pull the core counter-clockwise, overlapping the first termination by 1-1/2 inches (40mm). 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. With the termination installed, 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 with a half-lap configuration.
- Finalize Ground Connection and Verify
Connect the ground braid to the system ground. Confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches.
