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 reference length “B” from end of cable. (Refer
to Figure 4 and Table 2 to determine variable “B” length.
• For jacketed neutral cable, remove jacket to “B”
dimension.
• For unjacketed neutral cable, bind neutral wires using
three (3) wraps of tape at “B” 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 length “C” from end of cable.
(Refer to Figure 5 and Table 2 to determine variable “C”
length.)
ote: N 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 5.)
• 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
“D”. (Refer to Figure 6 and Table 2 to determine variable
“D” length.)
ote: N Do not unwind conductor strands.
Step 6.
Bevel insulation
• Remove sharp edge of insulation by beveling at a 45°
angle for approximately 1/4” (6 mm). (Refer to Figure 7.)
