Correct size and type.

Conducted after the cable is installed but before any accessories joints splices and terminations are installed. Cable pulling tension during installation the cable pulling tension during installation can be estimated by the following formula. Medium voltage power cables 20 low voltage power cables 20 low voltage control cables 20 3. Cables should not be installed at ambient temperatures.

As defined by the ieee 400 standard cable tests are defined as. Added section on live end. The writers of this document hope that it will be found both useful and interesting and that it will contribute to the increasing reliability of medium voltage networks.
