Cable shears with twin cutting edge, dip-insulated VDE 1000 V, cables up to Ø 20 mm, 200 mm - Knipex 95 17 200

Anyone working on existing live installations needs shears with tested insulation and enough leverage. The 95 17 200 cable shears cut copper and aluminium cables up to Ø 20 mm in one-hand operation and carry dip-insulated, VDE tested handles for 1000 V.

Benefits

• For cutting copper and aluminium cables up to Ø 20 mm, that is 70 mm² or AWG 2/0.
• Twin cutting edge with an initial cut for the sheath and a final cut for the conductor, allowing one-hand operation up to Ø 20 mm.
• Clean and smooth cut without crushing and deformation, the core structure stays intact.
• Low hand force required thanks to the favourable lever ratio and the special blade geometry.
• Dip-insulated handles, VDE tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 for work up to 1000 V.
• Adjustable bolted joint with self-retaining screw, plus a guard against pinched fingers.

Areas of use

Electrical installation, switchgear construction and maintenance, wherever work is carried out on or close to live parts up to 1000 V. According to the manufacturer the shears are not suitable for steel wire and hard drawn copper conductors.

Standards and conformity

The dip-insulated handles are tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 and approved for work on live parts up to 1000 V AC. According to the manufacturer the shears contain no substances of very high concern under REACH. The RoHS directive does not apply.
