Zusammenfassung:	A method for forming a connection assembly includes: forming an electrical connection between first and second electrical cables, the first cable including a first primary conductor and a first neutral conductor, the second cable including a second primary conductor and a second neutral conductor; and providing an integral, unitary cover assembly. The cover assembly includes: an inner elastomeric sleeve defining a cable passage to receive the electrical connection and the first and second primary conductors; and an outer elastomeric sleeve surrounding the inner sleeve. The method further includes: mounting the cover assembly on the cables such that the electrical connection and the first and second primary conductors extend through the cable passage; installing a first protective sleeve on a first neutral segment of the first neutral conductor; routing the first neutral segment and the first protective sleeve exteriorly of the outer sleeve to a second neutral segment of the second neutral conductor; and mechanically and electrically coupling the first and second neutral segments to thereby provide electrical continuity between the first neutral conductor and the second neutral conductor.
