The following information is provided to enable to selection and use of the correct crimping tools and die sets according to DIN Standard when installing Nexans Euromold type separable connectors – these cable connectors are used to terminate MV-HV cables into switchgear, transformers and medium/high voltage electrical equipment.
Specifically, the DIN Standard selection table below covers the connection, termination and crimping of aluminium conductor cables.
Please note when crimping aluminium cables:
* Uncompacted and compacted conductors
** Rotate each successive crimp 90 Degrees and remove flashes resulting from crimping.See the following image for crimp sequences.
