Product Range: PG3 HTA

Alroc PG3 tool is a cable stripping tool for the clean and precise removal of the outersheath of cables with a 26-52mm range – the PG range of tools provide a circular and longitudinal cut to the cable sheath and remove the risk of site accidents associated with “open-blade” type tools or standard electrician knives.

The PG3 tool manufactured by Alroc are used by LV-MV-HV jointers to remove the outer sheath to prepare the cable ready for the installation of joints, termination or connectors – the cable preparation are quick, light to hold and easy to use by the jointer when stripping jacket sheaths from LV (Low), Medium (MV) and High (HV) Voltage Cables.

Cable Overview

Alroc PG3 | Cable Sheath Stripping Pliers MV HV Cables 26-52mm

Alroc PG3 cable tools are used by LV MV HV cable jointers to remove cable sheath and jackets to provide excellent cable preparation prior to the installation of joints, terminations or connectors using cold shrink, heat shrink or push-on type technology. The PG3 is designed for use on XLPE and EPR insulated cables, providing clean, accurate removal of the outer sheath, insulation screen, and insulation layers without injuring the conductor or underlying components. Its adjustable cutting depth and guided operation assure consistent results over a wide range of cable sizes, making it an indispensable instrument for high-voltage jointing and termination in substations, wind power installations, and industrial networks.

The PG3 is designed for severe site circumstances, combining durable construction with ergonomic handling to improve safety, decrease operator fatigue, and dramatically reduce preparation time when compared to manual methods. The tool’s regulated, burr-free stripping process increases jointing quality, long-term electrical dependability, and compliance with demanding installation requirements. Alroc tools are precision engineered for the critical preparation and removal of all types of cable sheath including XLPE, PE, PVC, LLPE, PUR and rubber types.

PG3 Tool Benefits

✔ Enables precise, damage-free stripping of ultra-flexible HV cables without nicking insulation or screens

✔ Produces clean, concentric cuts required for reliable IEC 60840-compliant terminations

✔ Maintains correct electrical field geometry, reducing the risk of partial discharge

✔ Protects spiral copper wire screens, preserving EMC and grounding performance

✔ Supports preparation for tight-radius and confined installations without cable deformation

✔ Ensures consistent results for cast-resin, plug-in, hybrid and vulcanised terminations

✔ Reduces installation time and rework through repeatable, controlled stripping

✔ Improves long-term joint and termination reliability in wind, offshore and substation environments


PG3 CABLE SHEATH REMOVAL TOOL – APPLICATIONS

The ALROC PG3 cable stripping tool is designed for the controlled preparation of high-voltage power cables where precision, repeatability and safe handling are critical. It is used across demanding HV installation environments to accurately remove insulation and semiconductive layers without damaging underlying components, ensuring correct geometry for reliable joints and terminations.

✔ Preparation of high-voltage cables for joints and terminations in wind energy installations

✔ Cable stripping in offshore and coastal substations exposed to harsh environmental conditions

✔ Accurate preparation of HV cables for transformer and switchgear connections

✔ Cable stripping for temporary or mobile HV power connections during maintenance or testing

✔ Factory and on-site preparation of cables for pre-assembled termination and jointing systems

✔ Use in compact substations or retrofit projects where manual stripping methods are impractical
