3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the instructions for Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics). Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
*
Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
*
Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
*
Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
*
Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Danger: In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, loss of high voltage isolation to ground and higher system impedance, do not attempt to
repair any HV wiring, connector, or terminal that is damaged. High voltage coaxial type cables are not repairable. Never attempt to repair a
coaxial type cable. The entire cable/harness or component must be replaced. In order to maintain system integrity and personal safety, never
attempt to repair any high voltage wiring, cables, or terminals. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury
or death.
