Edge cutter for XLPE cables - clean chamfering for secure connections

What does an edge cutter for XLPE cables do?

An edge cutter is a special tool that cleanly chamfers the edges of XLPE-insulated medium and high-voltage cables. These chamfers are crucial to create a safe transition between the cable insulation and the joint or termination - without sharp edges or material protrusions that could lead to partial discharges or insulation damage.

Why are bevellers important for cable assembly?

  • Clean and even chamfers improve the contact and sealing surfaces

  • Avoidance of damage to joints and insulation materials

  • Reproducible results thanks to defined cutting angles

  • Easy handling even under construction site conditions

  • Time-saving compared to manual chamfering with a file or knife

Edge cutters thus ensure a permanently secure electrical connection and extend the service life of joints and cable systems.

Where are edge cutters typically used?

  • Power supply networks: preparation of medium and high-voltage cables for joint assembly

  • Industrial plant construction: cable assembly in switchgear systems

  • Service & repair: retrofitting or renovating cable sections in the field

Precise processing of the insulation is a decisive factor for operational safety, especially with high-voltage cables.

Which accessories are useful in combination with edge cutters?
