24kV Cold Shrinkable Termination
INSTALLATION For Three Core Cable
DESCRIPTION
The Chardon Cold Shrinkable Termination offers easy installation
and reliable performance when terminating indoor and outdoor
medium voltage cables. Made from high quality, UV resistant,
silicone rubber, the Chardon Cold Shrinkable termination offers a
combination of durability and high performance in the field.
The Chardon Cold Shrinkable Terminations include a stress
controlling compound housing, preassembled on a plastic “hold
out” tube. As the plastic hold out is removed, the stress-relief
housing shrinks onto the cable. Chardon terminations are easy to
install, and have a wide application range. No tools, or heat
sources are required. The products are designed to last the entire
life of the cable.
The Chardon Cold Shrinkable terminations are tested according to
IEC Standard 60502..

SAFETY INFORMATION
The instructions in this manual are not intended as a substitute for proper training or adequate experience in the
safe operation of the equipment described. Only competent technicians, who are familiar with this equipment
should install, operate and service it.
INSTALL PROCEDURE
STEP 1
● Fixed 3 core cable, remove the outer jacket A
（ The size of the A is Cold Shrinkable
Jacket Seal Length +350mm ） and prepare
cable to armor 30mm and inside jacket
10mm. Use PVC tape to fixe Cu conductive
shield of 3 phase cable.
STEP 2
● Clean outer jacket and armor，and 15mm is
evenly wrapped around a layer of sealing
tape.
● Use constant-force spring to fix grounding
braid into armor.
● Wrap sealing tape to cover constant-force
spring and grounding braid on armor.
STEP 3
● The trigonometric cone inserts the bottom of
the three core cable bifurcation.
● Wrap the other grounding braid in root of 3
phase cable and place on outer
jacket.(Notice : the grounding braid should be
placed different to first one).
● Use constant-force spring to fix second
grounding braid or weld it on root of 3 phase
cable. （Notice : the second grounding braid
can not contact the first one.）
Part No.: 404004P033 2 REV:A
STEP 4
● The two grounding braid are placed on the
sealing tape respectively.
● Wrap the filling tape onto the grounding braid
and the copper shield.
STEP 5
● Press the branching cone into the center of the
three-core cable as far as possible to open the
three cables
● Cover three finger cold shrink tube tight to
root of 3 phase cable. Pull the hold out tubes
at the anti-clockwise.
● Cover cold shrinkable tube tight to the end of
20-30mm from break out.
● Remove hold out tube, check cold shrink
tube shrink completely.
A. Prepare Cable
STEP 6
● Prepare cable using dimensions as
shown.
● Check the size of the cable top to the cold
tube port. If less than the diagram size as
(Fig.6)
show, peel off the excess cold shrink
tube.

surface of the insulation , it can be polished "L" refers to the hole depth of the connector
with fine sandpaper.
Part No.: 404004P033 3 REV:A
STEP 7
● Sand off the sharp corners of the Cu
conductive shield with coarse sandpaper.
● Fix the Cu conductive shield with copper
tape as shown. (Fig.7)
B. Install Termination
STEP 8
● Polish and clean thoroughly the insulation
by using sandpaper belt and paper towel
then apply the silicone lubricant around
the dotted line area. (Fig.8)
STEP 9
● Place the cold shrink termination onto the
cable, aligning the install positioning line
with the end of the hold out tube . Take
out the hold out tube to complete the
installation.
(Fig.9)
STEP 10
● Apply silicone lubricant to skirt and cold
shrinkable tube area.
(Fig.10)
Part No.: 404004P033 4 REV:A
STEP 11
● Pull down the skirt over the cold
shrinkable tube to seal the cable entrance.
(Fig.11)
C. Install Compression Connector
STEP 12
● Keep the “L+0.39’’(10mm)” insulation and
remove the excess part.
● Remove the insulation to expose the bare
conductor according to lug depth “L” as (Fig.12)
shown in Fig.12.
STEP 13
● Clean the exposed conductor by using a
wire brush.
● Place the connector on the exposed (Fig.13)
conductor and Install it.
STEP 14
● Wrap the sealing tape between the
insulation and connector.
(Fig.14)
STEP 15
● Seal the top of the terminator at the
connector area with Silicone tape.
