4. Using a rubber glove, apply all conductive paste evenly over the 5 cm length of aluminium
strands prior to re-wrapping the copper tape.
5. Re-wrap the copper tape back into its original position neatly over the aluminium
conductors. Wrap the tape as tight as possible over the aluminium strands and place
both the tape and strands into the supplied 70 mm² crimp lug and crimp securely using
a suitable compression or mechanical crimping tool (Figure 19). Note, this will require
crimping at 70 mm² to obtain a secure compression.
6. If terminating the lower end of the HVSC Plus to a bus bar, connect to the bus bar as per
Figure 20.
7. Connect the crimp lug to the earthing system using the supplied U-Bolt earth clamp if
necessary (Figure 21). Ensure the connection is aligned correctly and tightly secured
using a 17 mm spanner, socket or shifting spanner.
8. Use the waterproofing mastic tape to completely cover all exposed conductive areas of the
lower termination and to seal the termination from moisture ingress where it connects to
the earthing system (Figure 21).
9. Place the warning labels on or next to the HVSC Plus cable where they can be easily seen
and read by anyone with access to that area.
