The purpose of this guide is to improve cable pulling practices in generating stations by: a) Establishing alternative methods of limiting and monitoring cable pulling tensions to prevent cable damage from excessive pulling tension b) Introducing the use of cable pull charts that address cable pulling limits including sidewall bearing pressure, and relationship of conduit length and total conduit bends c) Establishing safe guidelines for pulling cables into conduits containing cables (pullbys) d) Providing practical guidance in lubrication techniques, pull rope attachment methods, and pull rope selection e) Facilitating good conduit system layout to permit the safe installation of cables in most raceways without the need for difficult monitoring or costly, rigorous calculations
