11. Once the tape has reached the crimp, start to stretch the remaining tape and using
50% overlap, cover the last 3cm of the White XLPE Insulation, over the brass lower
connector and up to the black plastic section of the Terminal Base Assembly in multiple
layers, completely covering the crimp and achieving as smooth and level a surface as
possible, removing all sharp edges. (Figure 31)
Figure 31.
Figure 32.
12. Using the supplied Insulation Tape (or 50mm packing tape), cover the coarse spiral
section of the Semi-Conductive Tape to ensure that it stays in place during the application
of the Heatshrink tubes. Do this first by covering the left half of the tape, then using a
second length to cover the right half of the tape for the full length of the spiral. (Figure 32)
13. Remove the plastic Mast Butt Adaptor section of the Terminal Base Assembly by
unscrewing the M6 Phillips head screw on the side. Again, straighten the cable as much
as possible and carefully slip the first 1.2m length of Heatshrink over the cable ensuring
that the Semi-Conducting Tape is not effected, until the end of the Heatshrink tube covers
and overlaps the Semi-Conductive Tape (over the Black PVC Outer Sheath) by 3cm.
(Figure 33) Using a Gas torch or heat gun, shrink the lower end into the correct position
and gradually work up towards the top of the Heatshrink.
Note:
Ensure that the Heat gun or Gas torch is not pointed in the same area for too long as
this will burn the Heatshrink, also be careful around the ends of the tube as too much heat
will damage the Black PVC Outer Sheath, Semi-Conductive Tape and White XLPE Insulation.
