Cable preparation (concentric neutral)
ote:
N
If concentric neutral cable is not being used, follow
cable preparation directions in shield adapter kit.
Step 1
Measure down 9 1/2” from top of the cable.
Remove cable jacket (if jacketed cable is used) to expose
neutral wires.
Unwind neutral wires.
Step 2
Measure down from the top of the cable 2 1/8”.
Remove the insulation and conductor shield to expose the
bare conductor. Take care not to nick the conductor.
Step 3
Clean the exposed conductor using a wire brush.
ote:
N
The probe (male contact) should be preassembled
into the threads of the compression connector prior to
crimping to ensure proper thread engagement.
Place the coppertop (bimetal) connector on the conductor. Make
sure the threaded hole in connector faces the apparatus bushing.
Crimp the connector in place using a tool and die
combination listed in Table 1 on page 3. Start crimping just
below the knurled line and rotate each successive crimp
to prevent bowing. Do not overlap crimps. Place as many
crimps on the connector as will fit. Smooth any sharp edges
on the crimp connector surface.
Clean excess inhibitor grease from coppertop connector by
wiping toward threaded eye.
Step 4
Measure down from the top of the connector 7 1/2”.
Remove the insulation shield. Take care not to nick or gouge insulation.
Place a 1/8” bevel on the insulation to ease elbow installation.
Step 5
Apply a suitable jacket seal over the jacket and exposed
neutral wires.
If an Eaton jacket seal is used, follow instructions supplied
with the jacket seal kit.
