487 SECTION 832 — ELECTRIC AND ITMS CABLE AND SPLICING

832.1Description.

This work consists of providing, placing, splicing, and removing electrical or communication cable in conduit.

832.2Materials.

A.Electrical Cable and Wire Section 1074 .1
B.Copper Conductor Cable Section 1074 .1
C.Cable Splicing Section 1074 .2
D.Breakaway Submersible Connector Kits Section 1074 .2

832.3Construction.

A.General .

Transport and unreel electric cable from a cable trailer. Do not lay reels on the ground to remove wire or cable.

B.Pulling Cable or Wire Through Conduit, Mast Arms, Traffic Poles, Lighting Poles, Junction Wells,

and Cabinet.

1.Manual Pulling.
a.Required for conduit sizes of 1 1/2 -inches or less.
b.The Department prefers manual pulling for all other sizes. The Department will allow use of a

mechanical puller if the engineer determines that manual pulling is not feasible.

2.A dynamometer is required when pulling cable or wire mechanically.
3.Use a short piece of material as a strain release element that will part if the strain exceeds the

amount specified below between the pulling grip and the pulling medium, unless otherwise directed by the engineer:

a.150-pounds for pulls up through a 12 pair communications cable; and
b.300-pounds for larger cables.
4.The engineer may deem a cable or wire unacceptable if it is:
a.Pulled into a conduit without the use of a pulling grip.
b.Pulled into a conduit without the use of a strain release element.
c.Pulled using methods which may have, or did result, in pulling forces in excess of strain release

material.

d.Pulled in excess of the 150 -pound or 300 -pound pulling limits.
5.Placing Cable or Wire in Existing Conduit.
a.Use pulling lubricant recommended by the cable manufacturer.
b.Pull cable or wire di rectly from reels into the conduit or pull the required length of cable fully

off the reel and then pull into the conduit.
