New safety standards for cutting high-voltage cables: protection against tension and thrills
It is not always possible to identify a cable to be worked on with absolute certainty. In order to protect the worker, safety cutting systems are therefore used to determine the absence of voltage in accordance with DIN VDE 0105 T.1, section 9.6.4 (07.83).

B68RC3-120 portable battery-powered hydraulic cutting tools
In modern network electrics, the safety of workers is a top priority. Cutting cables, especially at rated voltages of up to 60 kV, is often a challenge, as it is not always possible to clearly determine whether they are de-energised. This is where the new B68RC3-120 and B68RC3-96 hydraulic cordless cutters from Cembre come into their own.
These innovative devices are equipped with a wireless radio control system that offers a range of up to 20 metres and allows the operator to work from a safe distance. The integrated wireless sensor works without batteries and is maintenance-free, which increases the reliability and longevity of the system.
The B68M-P18-KV-RC3 pump is the centrepiece of these cutters. It is lightweight, compact and designed for mains-independent use. Thanks to SMARTOOL technology, operating data can be easily displayed and downloaded, further increasing efficiency and safety.
A pressure sensor and safety valve ensure maximum precision and safety. The Li-Ion 18.0 V-7Ah battery ensures high capacity and long operating times. An OLED display shows important operating information in real time, making operation even easier.
These new cutters set new standards in terms of safety and efficiency when working with high-voltage cables.
