A device is used to sever an electrical power cable for the transmission of high voltage. The cable has an insulation sheath, a screening layer and a conductive layer. The device includes a first frame having a first cutting blade mounted thereon, a second frame, and a measuring device mounted on the second frame. The first cutting blade is movable relative to the measuring device. The measuring device is capable of measuring an electrical load on the electrical power cable and capable of terminating the severing of the electrical power cable. A method of using the device is also provided.

A cutting station for the automatic cutting to a specific length of cable elements and has a magazine which extends in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction and has several holders for one cable element each. The cable elements are held next to each other in a horizontal magazine plane. A processing head extends in a longitudinal direction, which is movable in a transverse direction relative to the stationary magazine and is designed for gripping, pulling off and cutting to a specific length a respective currently selected cable element from the magazine. Each holder has two fixing elements spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction for holding the cable element. For machining by the processing head, a respective holder with a respective cable element is lifted in a preferred configuration from the magazine plane into the working plane.

A cutting device to sever a cable or the like. The cutting device can be used to sever the cable or the like in relatively inaccessible locations, such as in the ocean. The cutting device can include one or more springs that can be loaded to facilitate the deployment of a cutting tool to sever the cable or the like. The cutting device can include a lever than can be rotated between a locked configuration impeding deployment of the cutting tool and an unlocked configuration permitting deployment of the cutting tool. A linkage can retain the lever in the locked configuration. The linkage can be compromised, permitting the movement of the lever into the unlocked configuration.

A press cutting tool is disclosed. The press cutting tool includes a first and second plier, a first and second connecting rod, an opening, a pressing block, and a cutting block. The first and second connecting rods are connected to the second plier. The opening is used for placing a connection head. The pressing block is connected to the first connecting rod for clamping housing. The cutting block is connected to the second connecting rod for cutting the connection line; wherein the pressing block and the cutting block slide separately, and an initial distance from the pressing block to the opening is greater than an initial distance from the cutting block to the opening. After the first and second plier are pressed, the pressing block slides first to clamp and press the housing, and then the cutting block slides to cut the connection line.

An installation tool and methods for installing a splice kit for a heating cable is provided. The installation tool includes a body, a first channel, and a first cavity. The first channel is defined in the body and configured to retain a first insulating tubing of the splice kit. The first cavity is within the first channel and configured to retain a first connector of the splice kit. The body is configured to retain the first insulating tubing and the first connector in a predetermined formation during installation of the first insulating tubing and the first connector to the heating cable, and the body is further configured to be removed from the first insulating tubing and the first connector following installation of the first insulating tubing and the first connector to the heating cable.

A pliers-type cutting tool having two tool legs which cross at a joint pin and are pivotable about an axis of rotation in a pivot plane with respect to one another. The tool legs form gripping portions on one side of the joint pin and a pliers mouth on the other side. Cutting of the pliers mouth pass into a position one over the other, at least radially on the outside, for the first time in a closing region. The cutting edges have in the position one over the other only in the closing region a particular free length on this central plane, and that over the free length a greatest opening width is present along an intermediate length on the central plane, and that the greatest opening width makes up a third or more of the total length of the cutting edges.

A cable clamp includes a shell having a shell base, a first sidewall and a second sidewall forming a channel extending in a first direction to receive a cable therein. A wedge resides between the first and second sidewalls and includes a wedge base facing the shell base. A shim resides between the wedge base and the shell base, and the cable fits between the shim and the shell base. Movement of the shell relative to the wedge causes the cable to engage more tightly between the shim and the shell base. In one embodiment, a blade element resides between the shim and the shell base. The blade may be a separate element from the shim or attached to or integrally formed with the shim. The wedge may include a recessed area or a cutout portion to accommodate the blade. A cutting edge of the blade element faces toward the cable and will cut the cable in response to an excessive force along the first direction being applied to the cable within the channel.

In order to provide a cable for a system for conducting and distributing electrical energy and for providing a fast data-conducting communication link, with which high data transmission rates can also be realized in a future-proof manner, and which can be easily used in a system for conducting and distributing electrical energy and for providing a fast data-conducting communication link, a cable is proposed for a system for conducting and distributing electrical energy and for providing a fast data-conducting communication link, comprising a sheathing, wherein at least one electrical line and an optical conductor are embedded in the sheathing, and wherein the cable has a cross-section with a one-fold rotational symmetry.

A process of manufacturing an electrical wiring assembly includes the steps of cutting an elongate strip from a sheet of metal and cutting a mesial slit in an end of the uninsulated segment, thereby forming a pair of distal projections flanking the mesial slit. The mesial slit and the pair of distal projections form a forked split blade terminal.

The present invention relates to a manual hydraulic multi-functional extra-high-voltage insulating gear gripper pliers stick for live-wire work and the pliers stick and, more specifically, to a manual hydraulic multi-functional extra-high-voltage insulating gear gripper pliers stick for live-wire work and an indirect live-wire construction method using the pliers stick, which: allow components or the like, which are installed on and removed from an electric pole in order to perform electric wire-stringing work or fix electric wires, to be remotely constructed by means of the indirect live-wire work while maintaining a safe distance from live wires when constructing power distribution equipment in an extra-high-voltage live-wire state; ensure safety by eliminating risks due to instability during work, said instability occurring due to the intensity of the labor and the physical limitations of the workers; and bring about improvements in utilization efficiency.
