LV HV Cable Jointers & Jointing Tools
Alroc Cable Preparation, Cable Stripping & Cable Jointing Tools
Alroc insulation stripping tools are used by high voltage cable jointers to strip insulation from 6.6kV, 11kV and 33kV high voltage power cables.
Weicon cable strippers are ideal for stripping most low voltage cables.
Alroc tools are preferred by HV cable jointers and cable contractors for stripping and removing XLPE insulation from cables.
Cable Insulation (XLPE) Contamination
It is important that the HV XLPE cable insulation be free from all moisture and contamination. Common XLPE cable contaminates include, mud on the outside surfaces and semi-conductive particles, left on the surface of the cable insulation, after the conductive screen has been removed by the HV cable jointer. If these contaminants remain on the XLPE cable insulation surfaces being cable jointed or cable terminated, a conductive path can exist, and the difference in potential, between the energised conductor and earth screen will cause current to flow through the contamination, resulting in erosion and ultimately breakdown. To avoid this happening, all care must be taken to ensure the cable jointer keeps his hands, as well as his cable jointing tools clean and dry. Further to this, the XLPE cable insulation surfaces should be cleaned prior to the installation of the accessory and protected from further contamination until the installation is complete - PTT Cable Cleaning Wipes & Jointers Wipes
