cable in place.
5.3.7 Place a suitable number of the cable rollers, spaced evenly onto the cable trays to
prevent friction making it easy to pulling the cable along its route especially for
large diameter cables.
5.3.8 After the cable drum is already setup and ready for use, the end of t h e cable is
tied using a guide rope. The cable is unwound from the drum and laid over the
cable rollers. I t i s then pulled a n d l a i d o v e r the tray or cable trenches until
the cable end has reached its destination. The Power cables shall be installed on
B separate cable trays or trenches with mechanical separators from other cables. In
case of long distance or hidden areas to pull the cable, Use two-way radio in both
ends as a means of communication to synchronized the pulling cable process.
5.3.9 When the required length has been pulled and cut, both ends shall be provided with
identification markings again or with name plate.
5.3.10 Ensure that the cables are properly arranged on the tray and the cable shall be

B arrage to minimize twist,crossover etc. The cable will then be tied securely in place
using nylon cable ties making sure the cable spacing is maintained.
5.3.11 When the high voltage cable is installed, the fixing tools allowed are the
pulling-head; pulling-eye, attached directly on the metal conductor, or the pulling-
stocking; pulling-grip, which shrinks due to the traction, and which is placed on top
of the cable oversheath. Short cable lengths can also be pulled by people in
special cases, by grabbing and holding the cable by hand from its oversheath. In
this case the maximum traction is calculated in the same way as when using the
pulling- stocking. When a pulling-head or a pulling-stocking is used for the
B
installation pulling, the required cable lengths must be determined in such a way
that the cable ends being pulled can be cut by at least 1 metre (the
section being strained by pulling tension) before installing the accessories.
The cable tension various type of cable will not be more than those specified
below :
