LV-HV Cable Crimping Tools | Distributed from Stock | Approved Cembre Supplier | UK & Export Sales
Cembre ECW-H3D is a hydraulic presshead crimping tool complete with male quick automatic coupler for connection to a hydraulic pump with a working pressure of 10,000 psi max.
Adaptor type AU230-130D is available as an optional extra enabling the tool head to utilise the semi-circular slotted dies which are common to most 12 tons tools (U or C shaped dies) – the hydraulic crimp head is suitable for LV HV cable lugs, connectors and splices up to 630sqmm.
The ECW-H3D hydraulic crimping head has an available series of dies for the compression of DIN electrical connectors – refer to the table below. The crimping tool presshead weighs 5.5kg and is supplied in a robust steel case which is suitable for storage of the crimper head tool – used to joint and terminate lugs or connectors on LV MV HV cables including 11kV/33kV medium/high voltage electrical systems.

User Instructions
- Cembre ECW-H3D tool is equipped with a “self-lock” quick male coupler which can be connected to a Cembre pneumatic or electric pump
- Select the appropriate die set for the connectors (crimp lugs or splices) for use with the presshead
- Open the latch and release the upper die holder of the hydraulic crimping tool or presshead
- Insert one die into the upper die holder and one die into the lower die holder
- Close the latch on the presshead
- Insert the conductor into the connector (crimp lug or splice)
- Locate the connector between the crimping dies at the desired crimp position
- Operate the pump to advance the main ram of the Cembre ECW-H3D
- Continue to operate the pump, the ram will gradually advance until crimp dies meet
- Recommended to keep pumping until the maximum pressure valve is activated and a “click” is heard
- After crimping completion press the release lever to release oil pressure
- Recommend only Cembre Lugs & Connectors are used with Cembre tooling
Hydraulic Foot Pump Options
Connecting the ECW-H3D to hydraulic foot pump is quick and easy using the male Quickfit automatic coupler to deliver 700bar compression force – the ECW-H3D is compatible with both the Cembre PO7000 2-speed foot operated pump or Cembre B70M-P24 portable 24v electro-hydraulic pump.
Cembre ECW-H3D Crimping Tool Die Set Options
A complete range of die sets are available for installing and crimping all types of Cembre lugs and connectors – the die sets indicated in itallics must be used in conjunction with the AU230-130D adaptor die to allow use with the ECW-H3D.
