Primary Distribution (Underground) Cable Preparation & Stripping Tools

Ripley Utility Tool Cable Preparation Tools for Power Transmission & Distribution - Underground Cables & Overhead Lines

Ripley Utility Tools are cable preparation tools used to splice, joint and terminate low voltage (LV), high voltage (HV) and extra high voltage (EHV) power, transmission and distribution cables. Cable preparation and jointing tools are suitable for both underground and overhead line and cable applications. All Ripley Utility Tools are designed to meet specific cable jointing, terminating and overhead line applications - this includes removal of cable insulation, semi-conductive screens, cable strippers, cable sheath jacket strippers and other cable materials to ensure uniform cable preparation of cable ends prior to cable jointing and cable terminating, both underground and overhead.

Cable Jointing, Cable Splicing & Cable Terminating Tools LV-HV
Cable joints, cable splices and cable terminations can fail prematurely whilst in service or during high voltage pressure testing - this includes low and high voltage underground cables and overhead lines at LV, 3.3kV, 6.6kV, 11kV, 33kV, 66kV, 132kV, 275kV and 400kV. Upon investigation the reasons for LV-HV cable failures are usually determined as careless cable jointer workmanship in constructing the cable joint or cable termination. Some practises identified not only contributed to the failure of the cable joint or cable termination but also placed LV-HV cable jointers and public at risk from injury from flashover - always use the correct low and high voltage cable preparation and cable jointing tools.
