How can I reduce friction and prevent damage to my cables during underground cable installation?

2025-08-08

Preventing cable damage is crucial for the longevity and reliability of your power system. Our specialized underground cable laying equipment is designed to minimize friction and tension. We recommend the following best practices:

  • Use proper lubricants: Employ high-quality lubricants, like those with minimal residue, to facilitate smoother pulls and reduce the risk of cable damage.

  • Utilize underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers and feeders: Use our flat trench cable rollers with steel plate supports and Cable Feeders with rubberized rollers to guide cables smoothly and reduce back tension.

  • Respect bending radius: Never exceed the minimum bending radius specified for the cable. Our tools are designed to work within these parameters to maintain cable integrity.

  • Monitor pulling tension: Always use a dynamometer to monitor the pulling tension and ensure it does not exceed the cable's maximum limit. We can provide the necessary tools and guidance for this.
