Remove Bonded Semicon Screen From 11kV 33kV Power Cables

The new Alroc CWB/18-60-FEP cable jointers tool removes both the bonded semi-conducting screen without requiring lubrication while also creating a chamfer in a clean and reliable medium/high voltage cable preparation process – extensively used by jointers to prepare 11kV/33kV cables prior to the installation of MV HV Cold Shrink & Heat Shrink Joints and Terminations.

Contact T&D for Alroc tools and also a complete of cable jointing tools suitable for cable insulation removal and “easy-peel” screen stripping.

With a multitude of jointing tools available from several manufacturers, T&D decided to ask an industry expert in the jointing and terminating of MV, HV and EHV cables for an impartial and considered review of the new jointing tool manufactured by Alroc.

“Having used all types of jointing tools during my years this is by far the best and most consistent tool available. Alroc CWB/18-60-FEP has a working range of 18-60mm over the semi-conductive screen effectively covering 99% of all 11kV and 33kV MV HV power cables. The cable jointing tool design is based on rollers so no grease is needed for the cable peeling process.”

“The cutting blade can be used to chamfer the leading edge for pre-moulded HV cable terminations. Finally, the finish is another level” comments Karl McFadden (Cable Systems Application Engineer at Pfisterer).

The “Blue Tool” from Alroc creates a smooth finish to the insulation screen reducing sanding requirements by the jointer for bonded screen diameters up to 60mm. Operate using a consistent rhythm when turning the Alroc CWB/18-60 tool to achieve a smooth and clean finish without waves or “ghost-marks”.
