Power Accessories Training Centre

Nexans is committed to raising the standard of cable accessory installation across New Zealand. We are proud to have invested in a purpose-built Power Accessories Training Centre in New Plymouth.

The centre provides a dedicated environment for jointers and engineers to develop practical skills and technical knowledge in the installation of Nexans MV cable accessories. Combining hands-on training with technical theory, participants gain practical experience in cable preparation, product application and correct installation techniques. The training helps improve installation quality, minimise errors and build confidence on site, while strengthening knowledge of best practices to support reliable cable accessory performance.

Why choose Nexans for training?

The new purpose-built facility represents an important step forward in strengthening technical capability and supporting the evolving needs of the market. The Nexans Power Accessories Training Centre has been established to provide deeper product knowledge, practical installation skills and greater confidence in working with installed solutions.

More than a classroom, the Training Centre is a dedicated hub where installers, engineers and jointers can learn, collaborate and learn directly from Nexans’ technical experts. It brings together product expertise, installation best practice and field experience under one roof, helping participants build the skills and knowledge they need to work confidently with Nexans solutions in the real world.

Practical content

The starting point for most of our training courses is to ensure that the trainees are schooled in the art of cable preparation, which is essential for the correct installation of accessories. Simple explanations of faults caused by poor cable preparation are given to make the trainees aware of why failures occur.

If preparation on a specific cable is required, please supply a sample for training purposes.

Theoretical content

These courses are designed to provide all attendees an introduction into the workings of cable accessories, the correct choice of accessory for a given application and most importantly the causes of failures and how to avoid them.

Certification

Successful candidates will be issued with a Training Certificate valid for 3 years, detailing the training and idenfiying the accessory types.

Health and Safety

This subject will concentrate on all aspects of health and safety with regard to cable accessory installation.

Participants are required to bring their own appropriate PPE equipment & cable preparation tools.

At the end of each of our training courses, the trainee will have acquired the ability to:

Understand the role of each of the cable and accessory components
Choose and use the appropriate tools
Understand and follow assembly instructions
Prepare cable terminations
Prepare the various MV connection materials
Manage waste in an environmentally-friendly way.

“ It's really great to have a training facility for cable accessories within New Zealand. Just means that we will be able to carry out jointer training, a lot more easily. ”
