The below video shows the Alroc CWB 18-60 cable tools are used by MV-HV jointers to remove the semi-con screen to prepare the cable ready for the installation of joints, terminations or connectors.

The CWB 18-60 cable jointing tool enables the jointer to easily remove the bonded semi-conductor with a chamfer on the transition, leaving a very smooth finish over the insulation prior to installing heat shrink/cold shrink joints, terminations or connectors onto MV HV cables – bonded conductor shields are semi-conducting thermosetting materials firmly bonded to the overlaying insulation.

The following instructions detail how to use the Alroc CWB 18-60 semicon insulation removal and stripping tool safely and effectively.

  1. Set up the thrust on the cable jointing tool
  2. Adjust the semicon cutback position on the MV HV cable
  3. Screw back the blade to its maximum
  4. Tighten the cable preparation tool
  5. Screw down the blade until contact with bonded semicon is made
  6. Line up the middle of the blade with the edge of the cable
  7. Adjust the blade shaving depth (1 CLIC = 0.1mm)
  8. Start bonded semicon removal
  9. Readjusting blade shaving depth if necessary by the cable jointer
  10. Rotate gently the jointing tool clockwise until it touches the thrust and until the chip breaks up
  11. Screwing back the blade and loosen the jointing tool
  12. Remove the chip after the cable tool withdrawal
  13. Remove the thrust from the jointers tool
