Abstract

A device is used to sever an electrical power cable for the transmission of high voltage. The device includes a frame having first movable cutting blade carried thereon and second stationary cutting blades carried thereon. The blades can sever the electrical power cable upon movement of the first cutting blade relative to the frame. A sensor is provided and is configured to register a position of the first cutting blade relative to the frame. An evaluation and/or transmission controller is configured to receive information from the sensor and interrupt severing of the electrical power cable by the blades in response to the information.
