ABSTRACT:
A tool for stripping semiconducting insulation shield from an end part of a high-voltage cable in preparation for jointing or termination and at the same time circularising it has an annular body carrying a stripping blade and means (such as a handle or a motor drive) for rotating the body around a cable end extending through it to strip a surface layer from the cable end in a generally helical manner. So that the movement of the blade follows the general cylindrical shape of the cable end and is not significantly influenced by minor local departures from nominal dimensions, the annular body is mounted on the cable end by means of a plurality of resilient rings, for example located by grooves in its inner surface or in the inner surface of a second, non-rotating, annular body coupled to it. The tool can also be used to strip insulation and optionally also conductor shield from another end portion of the cable.
