Overview

The ABB R2T35M2H0240 Outdoor Ranger2 Cable Termination delivers reliable medium-voltage power distribution up to 35kV in outdoor environments. Engineered for compatibility with tape shield, wire shield, and UniShield cable constructions, this termination supports a broad range of shielded medium-voltage cables with insulation diameters from 0.84 inches to 1.38 inches. The included aluminum 1-hole spade connector accommodates conductors from #2 AWG to 500 kcmil, including 1/0 AWG stranded/compressed and 2/0 AWG compact/solid configurations. Designed for maximum field performance, the R2T35M2H0240 features a non-tracking silicone housing with superior weathering characteristics and eight sheds for enhanced creepage and strike distances. The shrink-fit housing simplifies installation with common procedures and field-removable center core, while pull-down tabs ensure easy jacket seal deployment. This termination installs in restricted spaces and permits free-hanging applications, making it ideal for utility, industrial, and commercial power distribution systems. Key electrical ratings include a maximum design voltage to ground of 22 kV, coronal extinction voltage of 30 kV (≤3pC), and lightning impulse withstand of 200 kV crest. The unit meets 10-second wet withstand of 80 kV, 1-minute dry withstand of 90 kV, and 5-hour dry withstand of 75 kV. Optional insulating silicone sleeves are available for increased creepage or wildlife protection. Its compact design and field-proven technology reduce inventory complexity with just two sizes covering the full cable range from #2 AWG to 1250 kcmil.

How to Install the R2T35M2 35kV Ranger 2 Shrink-Fit Silicone Rubber Termination for Tape Shielded Cable

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the installation of the R2T35M2 35kV Ranger 2 Shrink-Fit Silicone Rubber Termination on tape shielded cables. All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. This product should be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage safety practices.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Cable preparation tools, Crimping tool, Vinyl tape, Approved solvent and cleaning pads, Aluminum oxide abrasive (120 grit or finer, optional), Gloves

Supplies needed:

Silicone Rubber Termination Halves (R2T35M2), Silicone Lubricant, Gray Silicone Rubber Electrical Tape, Constant Force Spring, Preformed Ground Braid, Sealing Mastic, Copper Foil Tape, Terminal Lug/Connector (compatible with 35kV cable)

  1. Prepare the Cable for Termination

    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 specified dimensions for jacket removal, terminal lug depth, and insulation. To prevent the tape shield from unrolling, secure its edge with a single wrap of the supplied copper foil tape. Allow for additional exposed conductor distance to account for growth during crimping of aluminum lugs or connectors.

  2. Install the Ground Braid Assembly

    Carefully wrap one band of 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 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 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, and secure it in place with the constant force spring, wrapping in the same direction. Cinch the spring 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.

  3. Install the Terminal Lug or Connector

    Check to ensure 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. 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.

  4. Clean Cable Insulation and Lug Barrel

    Wipe the cable insulation with an approved solvent, taking care not to allow the solvent to touch the semi-conductive insulation shield. If abrasive material must be used, apply it only to the insulation, not the semi-conductive 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.

  5. Install the Silicone Rubber 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. Cover the edge of the semi-conductive insulation shield with a liberal coating of silicone grease. For the lower termination with a fold-down skirt, 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 it counter-clockwise, ensuring the termination body (not the core) is butted against the leading edge of the mastic seal. Using the second housing, pull the core down within one coil of the bottom, slide the termination over the cable, and 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) and 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 over a non-crimped region of the lug/connector barrel with a half-lap configuration. Connect the ground braid to the system ground and confirm that the High-K step does not exceed 1.5 inches.
