A successful installation relies on strict adherence to design specifications and the use of specialized equipment.

1. Symmetrical Arrangement: This is the most critical step. For three-phase circuits, the conductors must be installed in a trefoil (cloverleaf) or a flat, touching configuration. For installations with more than one set of parallel conductors, a symmetrical and repetitive layout is required to ensure each parallel conductor has the same impedance.

2. Maintain Identical Properties: All conductors in a parallel set must be of the same length, same conductor material, and same size (AWG or kcmil). They should also have the same insulation and be terminated in the same manner. This ensures that their intrinsic electrical characteristics are identical.

3. Use a Common Pulling Method: All conductors in a parallel set should be pulled simultaneously from separate cable reels. This ensures that each cable is subjected to the same pulling forces and maintains the correct physical arrangement throughout the pull. Our hydraulic cable pullers can be configured with multiple bullwheels to pull several conductors at once, and our hydraulic drum stands can be used to hold multiple cable reels, ensuring a synchronized pull.
