The Distribution industry has changed over the years, and there has been only one constant. The Cable Jointer has seen all the changes but the principle of High Voltage Cable Jointing is still the same.
The Cable Jointer in the high voltage industry may work on all or some of the high voltage networks but whichever they do work in, high standards are essential for a secure electricity network.
High Voltage Cables
High Voltage Cables come in many different formats over the years, from PILCSWA - XLPE - EPR.
The construction of high voltage cables differs significantly from low voltage cables.
HV Tools
Cable Jointers have a broad range of tools, from hammers to cable spiking guns.
Each serves a purpose, and each has a level of finesse appropriate to the task.
We will explain and demonstrate high voltage cable jointers tools so you have an understanding of the correct way to use tools safely.
