Description

The KNIPEX ErgoStrip PV Dismantling Tool (16 95 03) is a specialist version of the ErgoStrip specifically designed for the preparation of photovoltaic (solar) cables — in particular the double-insulated DC cables used in solar PV array installations and string wiring. The tool safely removes the tough outer sheath and inner conductor insulation of PV cables to the precise strip lengths required for insertion into MC4 and other PV connectors without damaging the conductor strands.
PV cables have a specific construction with double-layer insulation optimised for outdoor UV and weather resistance, and their properties differ from standard building wiring. The ErgoStrip PV incorporates blade geometry and depth settings calibrated for this cable construction, ensuring reliable, damage-free stripping that is essential for the long-term reliability and safety of solar installations.
As solar PV installation continues to grow across Ireland, this specialist stripping tool is increasingly important in the toolkit of electricians and PV installers who want fast, consistent, professional-quality cable preparation on every job.
