The overcurrent protection shall not exceed 15 amperes for 14 AWG, 20 amperes for 12 AWG, and 30 amperes for 10 AWG copper conductors after any correction factors for ambienttemperature and number of conductors have been applied (NEC 2014 Article 240.4(D)). For correction factors for different ambienttemperatures and ampacities at different conductor temperatures, see NEC 2014 Table 310.15(B)(16). Ampacities for cables having morethan three conductors have been derated per NEC 2014 Article 310.15(B)(3)(A).

CORFLEX® PULLING INSTRUCTIONSCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEX® into ducts ortrays. These installations requirecareful planning and execution. The following provides informationon how to calculate tensionsdeveloped during pulling andwhat precautions to take to prevent damage to the cable.
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable. The methodof pulling is significant in thatdifferent methods will resultin different stresses on critical cablecomponents for the same overalltension. Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a grip applied over the jacketed core,sheath and overall jacket. All otherCORFLEX cable types described in this catalog should be pulled by means of the conductors, aided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath. The conductorsand the sheath must be pulledtogether. Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEX cablesshould never exceed the valuesshown in pulling tension table.
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as:
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lb/foot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in any Bend is calculated as:T = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms(2.71828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditions:BendAngle f=0.15 f=0.30 f=0.35 f=0.40
30° 1.08 1.17 1.20 1.2345° 1.13 1.27 1.32 1.3760° 1.17 1.37 1.44 1.5290° 1.27 1.60 1.73 1.88
Coefficients of dynamic friction withlubricant are given in the followingtable for common duct and cablejacket materials. These coefficientscan be used for calculation oftensions.
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 0.50PE PVC 0.30Fiber PVC 0.40
Asbestos Cement PVC 0.70
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP)when pulling CORFLEX through abend. The SWBP is calculated asfollows:
For CORFLEX, Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds force/foot. Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cable, itis recommended that the bend radiibe as noted in thecable descriptions.
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants. Lubricants mustbe compatible with the cable jacketand duct material. Lubricating thepulling rope will decrease the tensionon the pulling equipment and moreimportantly will reduce the risk ofdamage to the inside of the ductwhich in turn can damage the cable.When designing the duct layout, it is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulled. Thispractice will result in lower tensions.In some cases, the tensions resultingfrom alternative directions should be calculated.
Pulling in Trays & TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays, rollers are normally used.Using well lubricated rollers and long radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of friction when compared to duct. A coefficient of friction of 0.15 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers. For long pullswith bends it may be necessary toinstall assist pullers before the bendsto reduce the tension on thecable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damage from excessive SWBP.
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions. It is possible,under ideal conditions, and withexperienced supervision, to exceedthese limits.
For further guidance, see IEEE Paper84 T & D 365-3, orcontact Nexans AmerCable.
