MV HV Medium & High Voltage Cables

The below video shows the Alroc CWF3/60 cable jointing tool used by MV-HV jointers to remove the outer sheath and insulation to prepare the cable for the installation of joints, terminations or connectors.

The Alroc CWF3/60 allows the jointer to remove the outer sheath (PE-PVC-PR) with a straight and neat cut and set the length to be removed and remove the insulation with a straight and neat cut of the power cable.

Cable preparation is essential to the performance and stability of MV-HV cable joints and terminations – if cables are prepared incorrectly using sub-standard tools or basic hand tools then the risk incidence of cable failure is increased.

The following instructions detail how to use the Alroc CWF3/60 insulation removal and stripping tool safely and effectively.

Alroc CWF3/60 Outer Diameter Capacity: 16mm to 58mm
Removal of the cable outer sheath or jacket
Fine adjustment of the pitch of the cable jointing tool
Setting up the pitch to 0° for a straight and neat edge of the outer sheath
Removal of the peelable semiconductor (non bonded) – CWF3/60 with SRC-W or CWF3/60 with SR-W)
SRC-W – Scoring stylus with chamfer on the transition & SR-W – Scoring stylus straight cut on the transition
The above have four scoring depth position 0.4mm / 0.7mm / 0.9mm / 1.1mm (easy to switch from one to the other)
Installation of the stylus Alroc SRC-W or SR-W on the CWF3/60 tool
Enables cable jointers to adjust the remaining length of peelable semiconductor according to the accessories requirement (junction, termination)
The Alroc DSP enable to lift and grab, easily the tip of the peelable semiconductor which has been previously scored
Removal of thecable insulation using the ruler BR to preset the length of the insulation to be removed
Set the precise length of the insulation to be removed by the cable jointer
Fine tuning the insulation thickness that is set to be removed
Fine adjustment of the pitch of the cable jointing tool
Stop the cut by setting the pitch to 0°
Straight and neat cut the insulation on medium/high MV HV cables
Chamfer the tip of the insulation with Stylus SCH-D
Engaging the Stylus on the cable
