HYDRAULIC CABLE SPIKING TOOL
Summary :
A Hydraulic Cable Spiking Tool is a critical safety instrument used in high-voltage electrical environments. It ensures worker safety by positively identifying dead cables before cutting, using a controlled and remote-operated spiking mechanism. It is widely used by utility companies, electrical contractors, and maintenance teams to prevent accidents and ensure safe cable handling.
Description
Description :
SAPSONS HYDRAULIC CABLE SPIKING TOOL is a specialized safety device used in electrical maintenance and decommissioning work to ensure that a cable is completely de-energized before cutting or handling it.
A Hydraulic cable spiking tool uses hydraulic pressure to drive a hardened metal spike through an electrical cable. If the cable is live, the spike will safely create a controlled short circuit to ground, immediately tripping protective systems (like circuit breakers). This confirms the cable’s status and prevents accidental electrocution.
Key Components:
- Hydraulic pump (manual or powered)
- Insulated hydraulic hose
- Spiking head with a hardened steel spike
- Protective housing for operator safety
- Remote operation mechanism (to keep distance from the cable)
How It Works :-
- The tool is positioned around the cable.
- The operator activates the hydraulic system (often from a safe distance).
- The spike is driven through the cable.
- If the cable is live, a fault occurs and protection systems trip.
- If no reaction occurs, the cable is confirmed de-energized.
