Southwire CCPR400 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Southwire CCPR400 ratcheting cable cutter handle 750 MCM copper feeders?
Yes. The CCPR400 is rated to 750 kcmil copper and 1000 kcmil aluminum, so it covers the largest single conductors typically pulled on commercial service and feeder work. Anything above those sizes needs a bigger cutter head.
2) Can I use these cutters on live or energized conductors?
No. The CCPR400 has molded comfort grip handles, not insulated 1000V rated handles, and no voltage rating is part of the tool. Treat it as a de-energized cable preparation tool only.
3) Is the Southwire CCPR400 suitable for cutting steel cable, wire rope, or ACSR?
No. It is built for copper and aluminum conductors up to 750 kcmil CU / 1000 kcmil AL. Hardened steel strands such as wire rope, guy strand, or the steel core in ACSR will nick or chip the blades. Use a dedicated wire rope or ACSR cutter for those.
4) What happens if the ratchet jams part way through a cut?
There's a quick-release lever that opens the blades at any point in the stroke, so you can back the jaws off a bound conductor without finishing the cut. That matters when you misjudge a cable and need to reposition.
5) Are the blades on the CCPR400 replaceable, or is the whole tool disposable once they dull?
The hardened steel blades are replaceable, so the tool body stays in service and you only refresh the cutting edges. For an MRO crib or a contractor's shop that cuts large cable regularly, that's the difference between a consumable tool and a repairable one.
6) How heavy is the Southwire ratcheting cable cutter for one-handed work in a panel or manhole?
It weighs 1.75 lb and measures 10.5 x 6.75 x 1.375 inches, so it rides in a pouch and can be worked in tight gear. The two-step ratcheting mechanism cuts the number of strokes per conductor, which is what keeps overhead and in-box cutting manageable.
7) Does this cable cutter need a battery or charger?
No batteries and no charger. The CCPR400 is a fully manual ratcheting cutter, which is why it's a common choice for utility and service trucks where you don't want to depend on a charged pack.
8) What is the manufacturer part number to order for the Southwire 750 CU / 1000 AL ratcheting cutter?
Order Southwire part number CCPR400. It's a single-configuration tool, yellow and black, all-metal construction, with no size or finish options to specify.
