Abstract
Electrical power cable preparation techniques to connect to cable accessories for use in a power grid are described. In an example, a system comprises a cross-section sensing module. The cross-section sensing module comprises a camera configured to capture at least one image of an end-face of an electrical cable, a housing configured to position the end-face of the electrical cable substantially perpendicular to an optical axis of the camera and at an imaging distance from the camera, and at least one optical marker configured to indicate a diameter of the electrical cable. The system further comprises an electrical cable preparation device configured to cut at least one layer of an electrical cable, and a computing device configured to display a user interface, the user interface configured to accept user inputs controlling at least one setting of the cross-section sensing module and electrical cable preparation device.
