Overview

The ABB TCJ-ATK-U Universal Assembly Tool (SKU: TCJ-ATK-U) is a dedicated solution for the precise installation of Elastimold® TCJ™ Transmission Cable Joints rated 69 kV to 138 kV. Designed for utility companies and electrical contractors, this tool ensures accurate assembly of factory-molded cable joints with optimized stress control and heat transfer. It eliminates the need for field-molding equipment, tape-wrapping machinery, or pre-stretch tools, reducing on-site labor and training requirements. The TCJ-ATK-U supports Style 1 joints (36.5–65.5 mm insulation diameter) for 69 kV systems and Style 4 joints (57.2–91.96 mm insulation diameter) for 138 kV systems, accommodating solid dielectric cables. Factory-tested joints provide permanent, fully shielded, and submersible connections for direct burial or vault applications. Shield break options are available for cross-bonding on Style 4 joints. This tool streamlines installation, extends shelf life, and ensures consistent quality across critical power transmission infrastructure.
