Pulling Tensions 1
Pulling Tensions 1
In setting out a cable route, numbers of angles and bends should be kept to a minimum for ease
in pulling. Recommended limits on pulling tensions are given below:
a. With stocking grip
0.12xD Newtons (kN), where D = the overall diameter of the cable (mm) subject to a maximum
of:
unarmored cables with lead sheath
Caution:
Installers are advised to review actual pulling tensions, taking into account the maximum
sidewall pressures, cable minimum bending radius and other installations restrictions.
Pulling different conductor sizes at the same time is not recommended if the conductor
size or other cable characteristics are significantly different.
