Power Industry Distribution Cable Jointer
Cable jointers work in the power industry for power network owners, operators, or contractors. They connect new supplies, divert and make alterations to existing supplies, and locate and repair faults on the underground power distribution network.
They work on the electricity distribution network that supplies electricity to homes and businesses. They work on low voltage (LV) and high-voltage networks up to 11,000 volts, including LV live working. Cable jointers connect new supplies, divert and make alterations to existing supplies, and locate and repair faults.
Safety is a top priority for the industry.
