2.0 Prepare Cables 2.1 Check to be sure the cable fits within the kit ranges as shown on the cover page. 2.2 Prepare cables according to standard procedures. Refer to template provided or illustration below for proper dimensions. Additional distance is required on one cable to provide extra neutral wire length for connecting the neutrals. (Figure 1). Jacketed Concentric Neutral (JCN) 11 3/4" (298 mm) 7 1/4" (184 mm) Cable Jacket Semi-Con Insulation Neutral Wires Allow for extra neutral wire length on one cable Concentric Neutral (CN) 11 3/4" (298 mm) 7 1/4" (184 mm) Binding Wire Semi-Con Insulation Neutral Wires Figure 1 Allow for extra neutral wire length on one cable Cables must be within the insulation O.D. range of the splice kit and the connector must meet the dimensional requirements shown on the front page. 2.3 For JCN or CN splices with exposed neutral connections: Carefully bend the neutral wires back over the edge of the cable jackets (JCN) or binding wire or tape (CN). Press them against the cable and temporarily secure/cover the end of the wires with vinyl tape (Figure 2). Figure 2 78-8124-5939-0-C 3 Secure with vinyl tape

2.4 For CN to JCN transition splices or CN splices with covered neutral connections (as shown below): 2.4.1 Clean cable semi-con as shown (Figure 3). Do not use cable cleaning solvent. Clean Semi-Con Binding Wire Folded Back Neutral Wires Figure 3 2.4.2 Place a strip of mastic around cable semi-con next to neutral binder. Fold neutrals into mastic and place another binder wire on the other side of the mastic (Figure 4). Binding Wire Mastic Strip Binding Wire Figure 4 2.4.3 Wrap two additional strips of mastic over the first one and cover with two half lapped layers of vinyl tape (Figure 5). 2 additional Mastic Strips covered with 2 layers vinyl tape Figure 5 4 78-8124-5939-0-C

2.4.4 Fold neutrals over mastic seal and temporarily secure ends with vinyl tape (Figure 6). Secure folded-back neutral wires with vinyl tape Figure 6 Jacketing is not optional. Cold shrink jacketing tube must be installed. 2.5 Clean or cover cable jacket if necessary, for cold shrink parking position. Slide jacketing tube onto one cable end. Slide splice body onto opposite cable, loose core end first. For size transitions, park splice on smaller cable (Figure 7). Loose Core End Jacketing Tube Splice Body Figure 7 If space is limited, the jacketing tube and splice body can be put on the cable stacked inside each other. 3.0 Install Connector If using a crimp-type connector, go to step 3.3. 3.1 If using a 3M Shearbolt Connector QCI 4/0-600, refer to the instructions included with the connector for insulation cut-back dimension. Insulation removal length shall not exceed 3" (76 mm) from conductor end (Figure 8). Refer to connector instructions for dimensions Figure 8 78-8124-5939-0-C 5

3.2 Install 3M Shearbolt Connector QCI 4/0-600 according to the instructions included with the connector (Figure 9). Shearbolt Connector Go to section 4.0 Install Splice. Figure 9 3.3 If using a crimp type connector, remove cable insulation for 1/2 connector length plus an allowance* for increases in connector length due to crimping. Insulation removal length shall not exceed 2 7/8" (73 mm) from conductor end. Do not install connector now (Figure 10). * This assumes that the installer has determined the increased length of an aluminum connector crimped with a specific tool and die. Aluminum (Al/Cu) Crimp Connector Growth Chart Conductor Size 4/0 AWG 350 kcmil 1/4" (6 mm) Typical growth allowance (per end) 1) Copper connectors do not require a length change allowance. 2) Maximum aluminum connector crimped length allowed is 5.75" (146 mm). One-half connector length + growth allowance* Figure 10 6 78-8124-5939-0-C

3.4 For 4/0 AWG through 350 kcmil copper connectors, or connectors with an O.D. between 0.69 0.84" (17,5 21,3 mm): Slide the cold shrink adapter tube onto the insulation with the loose core ribbon end going on first, away from the cable end. Loose Core End Cold Shrink Adapter Tube Figure 11 3.5 Install connector. See table (on cover) for proper connector dimensions. (For standard 3M Connectors, refer to table at the end of this instruction for crimping information). Remove any excess oxidation inhibitor from connector ends if aluminum connector is used. File sharp connector flashing if necessary, taking care to remove all metal filings from splice area (Figure 12). Connector Figure 12 78-8124-5939-0-C 7

4.0 Install Splice 4.1 Apply a tape marker to semi-con insulation shield on cable which does not contain splice. Measure 9" (229 mm) from center of connector (Figure 13). 9" (229 mm) Tape Marker Semi-con Figure 13 4.2 If using cold shrink adapter tube: Position adapter tube over the connector. Shrink adapter near center of connector by pulling and unwinding the loose core end in a counter-clockwise direction (Figure 14). Cold shrink adapter tube 4.3 Clean cables using standard practice: Figure 14 a. Do not allow solvent or abrasive to contact the cable semi-conductive insulation shield. b. Do not reduce cable insulation diameter below 0.84" (21,3 mm) specified for the splice. c. The insulation surface must be round, smooth and free of cuts/voids. Sanding may be necessary, finish sanding should be done with a 300 grit or higher electrical grade abrasive. d. Make certain that the cable insulation is smooth, clean and dry before continuing. 8 78-8124-5939-0-C

4.4 Apply red compound on cable insulations, making certain to fill in edge of cable semi-con. Do not use silicone grease (Figure 15). Fill semi-con step Fill semi-con step Apply Red Compound Apply Red Compound Figure 15 4.5 Position the splice body over connector area, aligning end of the splice body (not the core) at the center of the tape marker. Slowly start to remove the splice core by pulling and unwinding the loose core end counterclockwise, allowing only ¼" (6 mm) of the splice to shrink onto the tape marker. Carefully slide the splice body off the tape marker by pulling and twisting until the entire tape marker is exposed. Continue removing the core to complete the splice body installation (Figure 16). The splice body ends must overlap onto the semi-con of each cable by at least 1/2" (13 mm). Do not push the splice body toward the tape marker as this may cause the end to roll under. If the end does roll under, DO NOT use sharp-edged tools to pull it out as this could cut and damage the splice. Unwind Counter-clockwise Align splice body with tape marker Figure 16 78-8124-5939-0-C 9

For JCN to JCN Splices 5.0 Connect Neutral Wires for JCN Splices 5.1 For bundled neutrals using neutral pad: 5.1.1 Center neutral pad on splice body.
