KBW01 – Bending tool set for medium-voltage cables

KBW01 bending tool set for medium-voltage cables

The KBW01 bending tool was developed in collaboration with grid operators Enexis, Stedin, and Alliander.

This tool simplifies bending thick medium-voltage cables up to 1000mm², even in confined spaces like basements.

Features:

  • Weight: 10.5 kg

  • Compact enough for transport through manholes

  • Suitable for cable passage and movement over the cable

Operation:

  1. Determine the minimum bending radius according to factory specifications

  2. Match the desired radius to the cable length between bending points

  3. Place the tool between the marked points

  4. Bend the cable with the jack in the middle

  5. Use the torque amplifier and a cordless screwdriver to roll between the points

  6. Repeat until the desired 90 degree bend is achieved

This process quickly becomes very intuitive. The end result is a smooth bend without cable damage.
