Below is the detailed cable tray installation method statement not only for cable tray but also applicable for GI ladder and trunking for indoor and outdoor applications and in service rooms like pump rooms, electrical rooms and plant rooms etc.
During installation and splicing, the minimum allowable bending radius should be about 20D. It is recommended to use pulleys with diameters of 600mm and 800mm to ensure no damage to the cable. Please review the document (WI-0298 Rev 1) before proceeding with installation. The width of the pulley groove should not be less than the diameter of the cable and should be as large as. Therefore, specific components and machinery are used for the OPGW cable: pullers, tensioners, anti-twisting counterweights, swivels, pulling grips, pulley-blocks, self-gripping clamps, pulling ropes, pulling cables, etc. At no times can it be less than the minimum dynamic bending. Before laying the cable, make certain that the entire team doing the laying is familiar with the cable parameters, the handling required, the minimum bending radii, and the maximum cable pullingforce. Such specifications ensure that OPGW cables can be deployed in a variety of settings without compromising performance.
