 All cables assigned to a particular duct or conduit shall be grouped and pulled in simultaneously,
using cable grips or pulling eyes and acceptable lubricants.
 All cables shall be carefully checked, both, with regards to size and length, before being pulled into
conduits or ducts. Cables pulled into the wrong conduit or duct or cut too short to rack, train, and
splice as specified herein, shall be removed and replaced. Cable removed from one conduit or duct
shall not be pulled into another conduit or duct.

6.4 Manual and Mechanical Cable Pulling:

1. Finishing and pulling shall be done with flexible round metal tape, CO2 propelled polyethylene
cord, nylon rope or manila rope.
2. Pull cable into position by hand, where possible using an adequate number of operative roller
guides suitable positions along cable length.
3. All worker assigned at the cable drum location shall manually roll the drum and unreel cable.
4. During the Entire pull, only the person in charge, i.e. Superintendent/ Field Electrical Engineer
should give command to workers pulling the cable in order to synchronize with the workers
releasing cables at drum end.
5. For vertical pull, assigned guider shall guide the cable while approaching succeeding floor to
prevent jamming.
6. For Horizontal pull, assigned guider shall check cable condition at every cable tray corner or
offset locations.
7. After the cable has reached the other, measure the exact length required for termination to the
equipment/panel board. Provide enough allowance (slacks) for every termination point before
cutting at drum end.
8. All cables shall be run in continuous length from point of origin to destination.
9. Afterwards, cut the cable from the drum and separate each phase of the cable in preparation.
Conduct insulation test on the multi-conductor Cable and Record result Core to core and core to
ground (Tray or raceway )1kv>20mohms. Record megger make, S/N, Settings and readings.
10. Apply insulation tape over heat shrink seal on both cut ends of cable to seal it.
11. Identify cable at both ends for proper identification of cable. Identification shall be same as
feeder designation in the cable schedule.
12. Cable Drum at each end until the termination to equipment /panel board has started.
13. For cable pulling Use lubricant to easily pull the cable in conduits reduce the friction
encountered by the cable.
14. Install ropes in conduits, it eases the working procedure of cable pulling
15. Cable roller will be used during cable pulling, the cable roller for moving cables without standing
near the railing and reduces the strain in pulling cables. Thus, the whole process becomes
easier and safer to carry out.
