High voltage cable tools for transmission cable preparation include pencilling, sheath stripping and shaving bonded semi-conductor screens from 11kV/33kV/66kV/132kV cables.

Thorne & Derrick supply Linesmen’s and cable jointers tools working on LV, MV or HV overhead conductors and underground cables – professional cable tools are used to prepare cables before jointing, termination or connection to overhead power lines, switchgears, transformers and substations.

How To Remove or Strip LV MV HV Cable Sheaths & Jackets

Alroc PG | Cable Sheath Stripping Pliers

PG cable stripping pliers are a part of the Cable & Jointing Preparation Tool range manufactured by Alroc – the cable jacket or sheath stripping pliers are used by cable jointers to efficiently remove the PE, PVC, PR or rubber sheath from LV, MV and HV cables at 600V, 11kV, 33kV and 66kV.

Cable stripping is achieved by initially making two radial cuts into the cable sheath at the extremities of where the LV HV cable is to be stripped and prepared. Four circular cutting blades with pre-determined cable cutting depths mean the jointers tool only needs to be rotated through 90° to complete a full radial cut.

Secondly, a longitudinal cut is made into the LV HV cable using the roller as a guide and a single circular blade, again with set cut depth, from the one radial cut to the other. Thirdly, the cable sheath can then be peeled off using the tooth blade on the end of the cable stripping pliers.

The stripping pliers are available in a range of sizes to suit the cable diameter. Various combinations of cable cutting blades are available to suit various sheath thicknesses and should be correctly selected from the drop down option boxes below before ordering – refer to the information in the tables below.

The radial cable sheath cut depth should be 0.2 – 0.5 mm less than the nominal cable jacket wall thickness.

Ripley US15-Pro | Professional, Safe & Consistent Stripping of Cable Sheath Jackets from LV MV HV Cables | No Open Blades

US15 PRO Cable Sheath Jacket Stripping Tool manufactured by Ripley Tools is capable of performing slit, ring, and spiral cuts on cable diameters from 10mm to 60mm. Equipped with a high-grade steel blade, the versatile tool provides fast, safe, and precise jacket removal from both hard and soft insulated cables without damaging the underlying layers on LV MV HV (Low | Medium | High Voltage Cables).

The Ripley US15 PRO tool is a heavier duty slitting tool primarily used to assist in the removal of outer sheathing and primary insulation on low and medium voltage power cables. The tool will cut through many forms of insulated material such as PE, XLPE, PVC, EPR, silicon rubber, EPDM, and TGGT. The cable stripping tool is particularly useful on flexible conductor cables up to 5kV.

US15 PRO has a micro adjustable blade depth to avoid underlying cable damage. Ring, spiral, and longitudinal cuts can be accurately made by indexing the blade position. The high grade tool steel blade is also capable of slitting lead, Sealpic®, and thin metallic sheathing.
