The Doncaster Cables PV-Ultra® Cable Stripper (DC-PVUSTRIPPER) is a purpose-built hand tool for removing insulation from PV-Ultra® double-insulated DC solar cable quickly, cleanly, and without nicking the conductor. Rather than relying on a generic wire stripper and guesswork, installers get a fixed, repeatable stripping depth set by an adjustable screw, so every cable end going into a connector or terminal is prepared to the same standard. The tool also works with EV-Ultra® cable, making it a useful addition to the van for both solar and EV charging installs.

Informational Highlight: The stripper's depth-adjustment screw is set to match the insulation thickness of PV-Ultra® cable, so the inner conductor is protected from accidental blade damage — a common cause of failed insulation resistance tests on DC strings.
Installer Note: This tool is designed specifically for PV-Ultra® and EV-Ultra® cable constructions. Always confirm compatibility with the specific cable type being stripped, and follow the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the tool before first use.
|
Consistent Strip Depth
The adjustable screw mechanism sets a fixed stripping depth so every cable end is prepared identically, removing the trial-and-error of using a standard flex/cable stripper on double-insulated PV cable.
|
Conductor Protection
Because the depth is matched to PV-Ultra®'s insulation thickness, the blade cuts through the outer and inner insulation layers without scoring the copper conductor beneath.
|
|
Quick-Change Bayonet Blade
The inner blade fits via a bayonet mount, so it can be swapped in seconds when it dulls — keeping strip quality consistent across long install days without needing tools to change it.
|
Ergonomic Handle
A large-diameter handle spreads grip pressure across the palm rather than concentrating it on the fingers, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive stripping on multi-panel string runs.
|
|
Dual-Cable Compatibility
Works with both PV-Ultra® solar DC cable and EV-Ultra® cable, so installers covering solar and EV charge point work don't need two separate stripping tools.
|
Lightweight & Portable
At just 0.12 kg, it adds negligible weight to a tool pouch or van kit while still delivering a precision, repeatable result on site.

What cable is the DC-PVUSTRIPPER designed to strip?
It's purpose-built for Doncaster Cables' PV-Ultra® double-insulated DC solar cable, and it's also compatible with EV-Ultra® cable used on EV charge point installs.
Can I use this stripper on ordinary twin & earth or flex cable?
The tool is calibrated to the insulation thickness of PV-Ultra® and EV-Ultra® cable constructions. It isn't intended as a general-purpose stripper for other cable types — use a standard cable/flex stripper for those.
Is the blade replaceable?
Yes. The inner blade uses a bayonet fitting, allowing quick replacement when it becomes dull without needing additional tools.
How is the stripping depth set?
An adjusting screw on the tool sets the strip depth, ensuring the insulation is removed cleanly to the correct depth for PV-Ultra® cable without cutting into the copper conductor.
Do I need any special training to use it?
No special certification is required, but as with any cable-prep tool it should be used strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the product, and blades should be replaced when worn to maintain a clean, safe cut.
