What are the best practices for laying power cables to substations and other electrical apparatus?
2025-08-14Proper 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.
