One of the engineers in my company posted an email asking the following question. I have no answer myself, so I thought I would see if we can get some assistance from the forum members. Here is the situation:

I have a 5kV termination challenge that I was wondering if anyone might be able to provide some ideas on.
I have a 2500HP chiller motor compressor that has shown up on the job site with (2) #2/0 leads per phase off the motor into the motor terminal box. Our designed feeder to the compressor motor terminal box is a single 350 shielded conductor per phase.
Is anyone aware of a termination/splice kit that can take a single shielded feeder conductor and splice it to two motor conductors?
We previously were going to use a 3M 5380 Series Pigtail Splice Kit, but even at the largest size, the internal diameter of the boot is not large enough to accommodate the total size of the three conductors and appropriate lugs.
Short of revising our incoming feeder, does anyone have any experiences or ideas that might work?
