Step 2.
Remove concentric neutral wires or jacket
ote:
N
Care should be taken to not cut or score the
neutral conductors when cutting the cable jacket.
•
Measure 12.75" (324 mm) from end of cable. Refer to
Figure 15.
•
For jacketed neutral cable, remove jacket to 12.75"
dimension.
•
For unjacketed neutral cable, bind neutral wires using
three (3) wraps of tape at 12.75" dimension.
•
Pull back concentric neutral wires. Allow enough extra
concentric neutral wires to connect to ground after installation
and allow movement to insulated standoff bushing.
Step 3.
Remove insulation shield
•
Remove insulation shield 9.75" (248 mm) from end of
cable. Refer to Figure 16.
•
Do not cut or nick insulation.
Step 4.
Put tape marker in place
•
Measure 1" (25 mm) from end of insulation shield. (Refer
to Figure 16.)
•
Wrap two turns of tape to serve as marker for cable
adapter location.
Step 5.
Remove conductor insulation
ote:
N
Do not pencil cable.
•
Remove insulation exposing bare conductor to length of
4.38" (111 mm). Refer to Figure 17.
ote:
N
Do not unwind conductor strands.
Step 6.
Bevel insulation
•
Remove sharp edge of insulation by beveling at a 45°
angle for approximately .25" (6 mm). (Refer to Figure 18.)
