1. Cutting
When cutting cables, precision and minimal damage to the material are key. KNIPEX cable shears cut PV cables cleanly and without deformation, thanks to their concave cutting edges, which securely enclose the conductor during the cutting process. This enclosure prevents the cable from shifting and pulls it closer to the joint, resulting in a precise cut with minimal deformation.
2. Stripping
Stripping is a crucial step for reliable and safe electrical connections. To prepare a crimp connection correctly, the inner conductors must be stripped precisely. It is important to remove the insulation exactly to the required length without damaging the delicate conductor material.
3. Crimping
A durable photovoltaic connection depends on a precise crimp. KNIPEX crimping pliers apply the specified pressure evenly, reliably connect conductor and contact, and cover the key MC4® and MC4® Evo 2 applications used by solar professionals.
Tool sets
Coordinated KNIPEX tool sets combine cutting, stripping, crimping and mounting tools for photovoltaic work. The robust cases keep every component protected and ready for efficient use on site.
