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?
We recommend the following accessories for efficient cable processing:
Stripping tools for removing the outer layer
Peeling tools for XLPE cables for the precise removal of semiconductor layers
Hydraulic crimping tools for secure connection with cable lugs and connectors
