Best Tools for Stripping PV Cables

by Industry Superstore on March 30, 2023 Categories: Blog

The demand for photovoltaic systems is growing and growing. Whether it's hectare-sized solar fields, PV systems on homes – there are numerous ways to capture the solar energy produced by the sun.

Companies like us want to make it easier for people to set up photovoltaic systems. One step that is always part of the process is stripping PV cables!

Solar cables come with particularly robust insulation. No wonder, since they have to withstand high voltages and all kinds of weather.

Anyone frequently faced with stripping PV cables should use specialised tools. Especially in an industrial setting and when setting up large PV systems, solar tools make work much easier.

Two Tools for Stripping PV Cables

Below are two specialised tools for stripping all standard cables in the solar sector:

1. Wire Stripper No. 7 Solar

The automatic WEICON TOOLS Wire Stripper No. 7 Solar enables you to strip all standard solar cables from 1.5-6 mm². You can work precisely with the tool thanks to the optical length scale (8-26 mm). The stripper also has an easily accessible side cutter up to 3 mm².

2. Mini-Solar No. 3

Small but mighty is our WEICON TOOLS Mini-Solar Stripper No. 3. This tool is also for stripping solar cables in the range of 1.5-6 mm² and features an adjustable length stop of 6-28 mm and a side cutter up to 4 mm².
