IEEE 1185-1994 IEEE Guide for Installation Methods for Generating Station Cables

standard by IEEE, 09/28/1994

Full Description

Scope

This guide provides installation methods to improve cable installation practices in generating stations. Some specific limits in cable installation are covered in IEEE Std 422-19861 and IEEE Std 690-1984 and are not within the scope of this guide.This guide may also be of benefit to cable pulling crews in commercial and industrial facilities when similar cable types and raceways are used.

Purpose

The purpose of this guide is to improve cable pulling practices in generating stations by:a) Establishing alternative methods of limiting and monitoring cable pulling tensions to prevent cable damage from excessive pulling tensionb) Introducing the use of cable pull charts that address cable pulling limits including sidewall bearing pressure, and relationship of conduit length and total conduit bendsc) Establishing safe guidelines for pulling cables into conduits containing cables (pullbys)d) Providing practical guidance in lubrication techniques, pull rope attachment methods, and pull rope selectione) Facilitating good conduit system layout to permit the safe installation of cables in most raceways without the need for difficult monitoring or costly, rigorous calculations

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.Installation methods to improve cable installation practices in generating stations are provided. These include cable lubrication methods, conduit-cable pulling charts, pull rope selection criteria, pulling attachment methods, and alternative methods to traditional cable pulling tension monitoring. This guide supplements IEEE Std 422-1986 and IEEE Std 690-1984, which provide specific cable installation limits. This guide may also be of benefit to cable pulling crews in commercial and industrial facilities when similar cable types and raceways are used.
