Chamfering Tool
Boddingtons Electrical GB-KG05-3
GB-KG05-3 Insulation Chamfering Tool is manufactured by Boddingtons Electrical and is part of the range of cable jointing tools for chamfering cable insulation on medium/high voltage power cables with XLPE insulation prior to the installation of joints and terminations.
The chamfering tool removes the square edge on XLPE insulation to avoid damage to push-on cable terminations and joints and is suitable for round MV cables.
- For chamfering cable diameters from 15 to 40mm
- Suitable for round MV cables up to 300mm²
- Tool weight: 200g
- Contact T&D for more information

Chamfering Cables
Chamfering cables using appropriate cable preparation tools by the jointer decreases the density of the electric field at the edge of the cable insulation. The results of a simulation using Comsol show a lower density in the chamfered insulation in Picture 1. On the other hand, Picture 2 shows a higher density at the sharp edge of the unchamfered cable insulation. From a mechanical perspective, chamfering of cables is highly recommended when installing cold shrink joints – this prevents damage on the silicone joint body if heavy objects (rocks for example) hit the cable joints.
