LV-HV Cable Crimping Applications

Cembre ECW-H3D is generally used to terminate copper or aluminium conductors during the installation of LV cable glands (up to 630sqmm) or MV HV joints and terminations (up to 630sqmm).

• LV Cable Lugs & Splices – up to 630sqmm cable conductors
• HV Cable Lugs & Splices (11kV-33kV) – up to 630sqmm cable conductors
• “C” Sleeve Copper Connectors – up to 240sqmm cable conductors
• Insulated Terminals – up to 300sqmm cable conductors

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.

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
