Cable Pulling Tensions
I. FOREWORD
This discussion assumes the user is a Professional Engineer familiar with the issues surrounding
cable pulling problems. The program's assumptions and definitions are consistent with standard
cable tension and sidewall pressure calculation techniques. This document should be used in
conjunction with other texts on the subject, and should not be used as the user's sole source of
information on cable pulling analysis.
Determination of validity of the results, and whether the program is applicable to a system,
is solely the responsibility of the user.
This program is undergoing continuous development and refinement. As with all our products,
DESIGNBASE is committed to making the Cable Pulling Tensions & Sidewall Pressures program
as current, comprehensive and as easy to use as possible. Any comments, suggestions or errors
encountered in either the results or documentation should be immediately brought to
DESIGNBASE's attention.
III. INTRODUCTION
The sidewall bearing pressure and pulling tension that cables undergo during installation
determine the lengths of cable and splices. Construction field professionals need to know that the
pressures and tensions the cables are submitted to do not damage the cable. Electrical
contractors and installers of cables seek to make the longest un-spliced runs possible because
splices are costly and are frequently the source of circuit failures. Pulling lengths of cables
determine the number and location of splices, electrical manholes, and pull boxes.
The maximum length of cable, which may be safely pulled into a duct or conduit, depends on the
following factors:
Maximum allowable sidewall pressure and maximum pulling strain on the conductors
and/or sheath;
Bend angle and directions (horizontal or vertical), number of bends and radius of bends;
1
Cable Pulling Tensions
This program has been written for professional design engineers. DESIGNBASE believes that
pulling tension and sidewall pressure should be calculated at the time of design and not at the
time of installation. A review of the faults, fires and electrical systems shutdowns indicates that
many of these failures are directly attributable to the cable damage that occurred during
installation. The magnitude of the pulling tension and sidewall pressure exerted on cables during
installation plays a major role in the health of a cable. If pressure is exceeded above the cable
allowable limits, the tension and/or sidewall pressure could permanently damage the cable
insulation. Mechanical damage (unless severe) usually remains undetected until a breakdown
occurs in the insulation system, which is often due to aging and subsequent moisture
penetration/carbonization.
Cable pulling calculations should be done during the design stage of a raceway-feeder, or cable
installation, to find the values for expected tension when pulling cable, and also find the pulling
force caused by sidewall pressure on the cable pulled around the bends. The main parameters
that must be considered in such calculations are: number and diameter of cable, type of cable, the
coefficient of dynamic friction between cable and conduit, type of conduit, and bending radii. The
results of the calculations should be within the allowable limits as established by the cable
manufacturers.
V. CABLE CONFIGURATIONS
The manner in which the cables are installed in the raceway plays a very important role in the
determination of pulling tension and sidewall pressure. The cables in this program are defined as:
Single Cable
Three Cables Triangular
Three Cables Cradled
Four Cables Diamond
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
Figure 4
Any size, type, insulation category, or voltage level can be entered. All data entered are for single
cable and the program extends the information for the number of conductors pulled.

Cable Pulling Tensions
The user can input the maximum design sidewall pressure in pounds per foot and the maximum
design tension in pounds. The Cable Pulling Tensions program will give warnings if during the pull
sidewall pressure and/or the tension exceed the user defined maximum safe limits.
The user should enter the coefficient of friction for both high and low sidewall pressure
calculations. The user should also specify the pulling compound, or select a compound from the
program's lubricating compound library.
IX. PROFILES
DESIGNBASE Cable Pulling program permits the user to input 99 sections in every profile. The
number of profiles is limited only by the user's hard disk capacity.
XI. LIBRARIES
There are three libraries available: A) The Pulling Compound Data, B) Cable Data / Feeder Library
and C) Raceway Data. The user may add, modify and delete entries in the libraries.
The Pulling Compound Data Library includes the definition of various types of pulling
lubricants with corresponding coefficients of friction for high and low sidewall tensions.
The compound type may be selected with the arrow key, and transferred into the profile
screen by pressing the ENTER key. The entries in the library can be modified to suit the
user's preference.
The Cable Data Feeder Library includes the feeder size, diameter, area (SQIN), weight
per foot of single cable, insulation, material (A = aluminum, C = copper), voltage, area
(CMILL) and codeword.
The Raceway Data Library includes all standard raceway sizes. User can add, modify and
delete the information to suit his or her needs.

Cable Pulling Tensions
The cable reel backpressure is a common value expressing the estimated reel back tensions of
100 lbs.
The equations used in this program come from standard static and dynamic analysis principles.

Apparatus and Systems, Vol. 72, part III, December 1953.
This information is listed in the manufacturers' catalogs (see the program Feeder Library).
2: CONDUIT SIZE
The National Electric Code, NEC, specifies the permissible conduit fill and conduit sizes
(see the program Raceway Library).
3: CABLE CLEARANCE
It is important to calculate the clearance between cables and conduit to ensure that
cables can be pulled through the conduit, as follows:
C = clearances in inches;
C = D-d (1)
4

C = - 1.366d + 0.5 ( D - d ) 1- (2)
d D - d
For four-conductor cable pull:
2 d2
C = (D- d) - (3)
D- d
4: JAM RATIO
When the ratio of the inside diameter of the conduit to the cable diameter is equal to 3,
one of the cables in a 3 or 4 cable pull may slip between two other cables, thus causing
the cables to jam in the conduit; this is especially true when the cable is pulled around a
bend.

Note that:
The effective coefficient of friction is expressed as the product of the basic coefficient of
friction and the weight correction factor.
K = K 0 Wc
The dynamic coefficient of friction is a factor which, when multiplied by the normal force
exerted by the cable on the conduit, yields the pulling tension required to keep the cables
in motion. The force exerted by the cable is due to its own weight added up to the weight
of all other cables resting on it.
This is a radial pressure experienced by the cable as it is pulled through a curved section.

Cable Pulling Tensions
To ensure that the cable pulling operation does not damage the conductors, one must first evaluate the
type and geometric configuration of the raceway. This will determine how the cables will be affected.
Section IV of this manual illustrates that, depending on their number, the cables will occupy the
raceway in unique physical configurations. These configurations are referred to as Single Cable,
Three Cables Triangular, Three Cables Cradled, and Four Cables Diamond. Refer to Figures 1, 2, 3
and 4 in Section IV of this manual.
Cable configuration plays an important role in the integrity of the cable pull; because it has a direct
effect on how much frictional force (drag) is placed on the cables during installation.
In order to determine the actual configuration that the cables will adopt, the ratio of the inside diameter
of the raceway (D) to the outside diameter of an individual cable (d) is used - D/d ratio. When pulling
three individual conductors from three separate reels, the following guidelines can be followed to
determine the type of configuration:
2.5 < D/d < 3.0: The cables may lay in a Triangular or Cradled Configuration
The diamond configuration occurs when pulling four individual conductors with D/d < 3. When pulling
triplexed or quadruplexed single-conductor as assemblies from one reel, the configurations will always
be triangular for triplexed and diamond for quadruplexed.
When installing two or more single conductor cables in a raceway, the sum of the forces exerted
between the cables and the raceway is greater than the sum of the individual cable weights. To
properly account for this increased effective weight of the cables, a correction factor must be applied.
This factor will help to evaluate the actual pulling tension more accurately.
For instance, a cradled configuration with a 40% raceway fill will yield a weight correction factor of
1.441, in contrast to the triangular case, which has a value of 1.222.
Unless the cable being pulled is configured as triplexed single conductors, it should be assumed that
one is dealing with a cradled configuration. This will result in a more conservative design.
As a cable is pulled through a bend in the raceway system, pressure builds up between the cable and
the bend. The term that is used to describe this pressure is sidewall-bearing pressure (SWBP). This
24
Cable Pulling Tensions
phenomenon has dramatic effects on the design parameters of the power distribution feeder, because
it directly relates to bending radius, pulling tension, and cable weight.
The SWBP is a function of the tension out of the bend (in lbs.) and the bend radius (in ft). The SWBP
is a unit of force per unit length. Table A shows the SWBP equations as they apply to the different
types of configurations. Table B lists some of the maximum recommended SWBP for different types of
cables.
Table A: SWBP Equations
Number of cables Configuration SWBP equation
1 Single SWBP=T R (eq.5.)
3 Cradled SWBP=[(3W-2) x2T] 3R(eq.6)
3 Triangular SWBP=WT 2R (eq.7)
4 Diamond SWPB=[(W-1) x2T] R (eq.8)
Note: For multi conductor cables, the single conductor equation should be used.
1
Note When considering the use of the above limits, the tension on the cable conductor
should not exceed 10,000 psi for annealed stranded copper and 6000 psi for half
and full hard stranded aluminum. For three single-conductor cables in parallel
configuration, the allowable conductor stress should be based on two cables
sharing the tension.
2
Note For pull of three single-conductor cables in parallel, a maximum SWBP of 750
lbs./ft is recommended.
3
Note The recommended SWBP limit should be reduced to 1500 lbs./ft when the jacket
is not applied tightly to the cable core.
25
Cable Pulling Tensions
d. Cable Jamming:
Jamming occurs as three or more cables lying side-by-side are pulled in a single plane. As the cables
are pulled through a bend the curvature will squeeze the cables, causing them to jam and
consequently damage the insulation.
Typically, the risk of jamming cables is not high when pulling one or two single conductors, or a single
multi-conductor cable with an overall jacket. The risk is also negligible when dealing with multi-
conductor cables made up of triplexed or quadruplexed single conductors.
To determine the potential for a jamming problem to exist, the ratio of the raceway inside diameter (D)
to the individual conductor's outside diameter (d) can be used once again. Keep in mind that bends
have oval cross sections; therefore the diameter measurement must be increased by 5%.
Following are some guidelines for evaluating the potential presence of a jamming problem:
Another special note: Avoid jam ratios of 2.8 to 3.2 for extruded dielectric cables.
The following exercise will illustrate how the cable pulling analysis can be conducted using
DESIGNBASE's "Cable Pulling and Sidewall Pressures" program. The case study is based on the EPRI
"Maximum Safe Pulling Lengths for Solid Dielectric Insulated Cables" in Section 5 of Volume 2: Cable
User's Guide. EPRI EL-3333-CCM, Volume 2 - Research Project 1519-1.

The following table describes each of the sections shown in Figure A-1. The order of the sections
indicates the forward pulling direction:
Before using DESIGNBASE's Cable Pulling program the user must keep in mind the following guidelines:
1. There must be a minimum of two sections of cable, the first of which must be defined as the portion
that pushes or pulls the cable.
2. There must be an eye on the initial section for anchoring the pulling operation. In other words, it is
important for the user to note that the program reserves the first segment to model the
characteristics of the cable feeder. An example of this would be to specify a concave bend down
section of radius 4 ft. with a 90-degree arc to model a cable coming off a large spool. This section is
always referred to as the "feeder" or "feed-in" section in the output. Although the feeder section is not
explicitly listed in the forward or reverse pull output tables, careful inspection of the data shows that
resulting tension is present in both tables and that the feeder section is always the first section
whether in a forward or reverse pull. Although this may initially seem counter intuitive, once you
remember that the feeder section is modeling the tension due to the source of the physical cable (in
most cases a spool), it becomes obvious that the feeder section is the first section in both a forward
and reverse pull situation.
