Overview

The ABB Installation Products R2T35M2H0220 Outdoor Ranger2 Cable Termination is a field-proven, high-reliability termination kit engineered for 35kV medium-voltage applications. This termination supports tape shield, wire shield, and UniShield cable constructions with insulation diameters ranging from 0.84 inch to 1.38 inch. Designed for outdoor installations, it delivers superior environmental resistance and long-term performance in substations, switchgear, and overhead/underground distribution systems. The termination features an aluminum 1-hole spade terminal rated for #2 to 500 kcmil conductors, accommodating stranded/compressed or compact/solid #2 or #1 conductors. Its non-tracking silicone housing provides excellent weathering resistance and memory, while the shrink-fit design simplifies installation with common procedures and field-removable center core. The eight-shed design ensures maximum creepage and strike distances for 35kV class applications, with a minimum strike distance of 16.8 inches (427 mm). Key electrical ratings include a maximum design voltage to ground of 22 kV, a lightning impulse withstand of 200 kV crest, and a 10-second wet withstand of 80 kV. The termination also meets partial discharge requirements with coronal extinction voltage ≤ 3pC at 30 kV. Optional insulating silicone sleeves are available for enhanced creepage or wildlife protection. Compatible with standard shielded medium-voltage cables, the R2T35M2H0220 simplifies field installation with pre-engineered components and clear assembly instructions. It is widely deployed in utility, industrial, and renewable energy projects where durable, long-lasting terminations are critical. The termination kit is part of ABB's Ranger2 series, known for its versatility and reliability across a broad range of cable sizes and shield constructions.

How to Install the R2T35M2H0220 35kV Ranger 2 Silicone Rubber Termination on Tape Shielded Cables

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the R2T35M2H0220 35kV Ranger 2 Shrink-fit Silicone Rubber Termination on tape shielded cables, including cable preparation, ground braid installation, and termination placement.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Crimping tool, Wire strippers, Measuring tape, Approved solvent, Aluminum oxide abrasive (120 grit or finer, if needed), Utility knife

Supplies needed:

Silicone Rubber Termination Halves (2), Silicone Lubricant, Gray Silicone Rubber Electrical Tape, Constant Force Spring, Preformed Ground Braid, Sealing Mastic, Copper Foil Tape, Protective Gloves, Vinyl Electrical Tape, Terminal Lug or Connector

  1. Prepare Cable and Ensure Safety

    DANGER: De-energize all apparatus in the work area before beginning installation. Inspect all parts for damage and compatibility. Check that 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 by removing the jacket, semi-con, and tape shield according to the dimensions provided in the instructions (Jacket Removal Length 13-1/2in (340mm), 2in (50mm) for terminal lug depth plus growth allowance, 1in (25mm) for tape shield). Prevent the tape shield from unrolling by securing its edge with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape.

  2. Install Ground Braid and Crimp Lug

    Apply one band of mastic around the cable jacket 1/4in (6mm) from the jacket end, stretching 50%, and cut flush. Position the preformed ground braid with its short tail over the tape shield and the solder block centered over the mastic strip; secure it to the cable jacket with vinyl tape and press the solder block into the mastic. Apply a second mastic band over the solder block and previous mastic, maintaining the 1/4in (6mm) dimension, and cut 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 excess, and secure it 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. Install the terminal lug or connector by positioning it and crimping according to the manufacturer's directions, ensuring not to crimp the last 3/8in to 1/2in of the connector. Remove any excess oxide inhibitor and sharp crimp flashings.

  3. Clean Cable and Install Termination Body

    Wipe the cable insulation with an approved solvent, ensuring it does not touch the semi-con insulation shield. If necessary, use aluminum oxide abrasive (120 grit or finer) on the insulation only, being careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter. Create a track-resistant moisture seal by wrapping a band of gray silicone rubber electrical tape around the base of the terminal lug. Cover the edge of the semi-con insulation shield with a liberal coating of silicone grease. For the lower termination, pull the loose end of the removable core through the top 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 counter-clockwise, ensuring the termination body is butted to the leading edge of the mastic seal without pushing or pulling the assembly. If using a second housing, pull its core down within one coil of the bottom, slide it over the cable, and carefully pull the core counterclockwise, overlapping the first termination by 1-1/2in (40mm).

  4. Complete Moisture Seal and Ground Connection

    Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant to the skirt and mastic seal area, avoiding 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 1in 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 1.5in and overlaps the cable semi-con.
