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 3/4” (324 mm) from the end of cable. Refer
to Figure 18.
• For jacketed neutral cable, remove the jacket to 12 3/4”
dimension.
• For unjacketed neutral cable, bind neutral wires using
three (3) wraps of tape at 12 3/4” dimension.
• Pull back concentric neutral wires. Allow enough extra
concentric neutral wires to connect to ground after installation
and allow movement to the insulated standoff bushing.
Step 3.
Remove insulation shield
• Remove insulation shield length 9 3/4” (248 mm) from
the end of cable. Refer to Figure 19.
• Do not cut or nick insulation.
Step 4.
Put tape marker in place
• Measure 1” (25 mm) from the end of insulation shield.
Refer toFigure 19
• Wrap two turns of tape to serve as marker for the cable
adapter location.
Step 5.
Remove conductor insulation
ote: N Do not pencil cable.
• Remove insulation exposing bare conductor to a length of
4 3/8” (111 mm). Refer to Figure 17.
ote: N Do not unwind conductor strands.
Step 6.
Bevel insulation
• Remove the sharp edge of insulation by beveling at a 45°
angle for approximately 1/4” (6 mm). Refer to Figure 18.
