What are the best practices for laying power cables to substations and other electrical apparatus?

2025-08-14

Proper cable laying for substations and electrical apparatus is crucial for system safety and longevity. At Ningbo Changshi, we emphasize a systematic approach that includes thorough pre-planning and the use of specialized equipment. Key best practices include:

  • Pre-planning: Carefully review site conditions and engineering drawings.

  • Choosing the Right Method: Select the most suitable laying method, such as direct burial, troughing, or conduit systems, based on environmental factors and project specifications.

  • Using Correct Equipment: Utilize appropriate tools and equipment, such as Cable Pulling Winches, cable guiding devices, and rollers, to manage pulling tensions and prevent cable damage.

  • Avoiding Overbending: Always adhere to the cable manufacturer's specified minimum bending radius to prevent insulation and conductor damage.

  • Proper Termination: Ensure clean and secure cable terminations at the apparatus using quality connectors and tools.

We provide a full range of equipment for both overhead and underground projects to ensure these best practices are followed.
