4. STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
Each Cembre insulated cable cutting unit is precisely constructed and supplied in a robust case
for protection of individual components from damage and transportation to the work place.
Only remove a cable cutting unit from its case at the work place.
5. PRELIMINARY PHASES
The cable cutting units must be used as described herein and always observing DIN VDE 0105-100.
?
– Only remove a cable cutting unit from its case at the work place.
– Check all components (cutting head, flexible insulated hose, couplings and pump) before
use to verify there is no evident damage:
ë Cutting edges of the blades damaged ?
ë Flexible insulated hose clean and without visible damage ?
ë Quick couplings clean ?
ë Manometer functioning ?
ë Pump pedal easy to operate ?
ë Discharge lever enables oil return ?
– A protected zone must be established within a 10m radius around the work place where entry
is forbidden.
6. CUTTING PROCEDURE
Insulated cable cutting units must be earthed in accordance with national standards (e.g. BGI 845
ZH1/437).
The correct cutting procedure is as follows:
– Contact the electricity supply utility.
– Using the grips provided, carry the cutting head to the cable to be cut.
– Position the blades of the cutting head around the cable to be cut and stabilise its position
(e.g. by pressing the cutting head against the ground or for the TC096-WZ-1000-KV by turning
the special support).
When cutting single pole cables, all three phases must be cut simultaneously by the head.
