2-5-9 Flashcards
This lesson lists __?__ things about a cable that should be checked before pulling any cable into a conduit to make certain the correct cable is being pulled into the conduit.
seven
The jacket or sheath type is not one of the things to check before pulling a cable into a conduit.
false
One way to help prevent cable failure is to inspect the cable before it is pulled into the conduit. Physical defects you should be looking for include cracks, gouges, flat spots, and scratches, to the cable __?__.
jacket
When preparing to make a cable pull and you have cut the cables, but will not be making the pull immediately, the cable ends should be properly __?__.
sealed
There are several methods used to grip a cable for pulling. One is to grip the conductor and the other is to use __?__ over the cables.
a basket weave
Before any cable is pulled into a duct/conduit, you should make sure that there is adequate clearance between the duct/conduit and the __?__.
cable diameter
When a grip is applied over a non-metallic jacketed cable, the pulling force shall be limited to __?__ pounds provided this does not exceed any other calculated force measurement.
1000
cable pulling tensions should be observed because the cable may be damaged by the extra force exerted on it.
true
This lesson points out __?__ factors that determine if a length of cable can safely be pulled into a duct system.
eight
The __?__ is one of the factors that determine if a length of cable can safely be pulled into a duct system.
coefficient of friction
The ratio between the force needed to overcome friction, and the weight of the object being moved is called the __?__ of friction.
coefficient
Among the variables that need to be known to calculate the pulling tension of a straight cable pull, the __?__ at the entrance of the conduit is one of them
backtenction
A cable pull that has both straight and curved conduit sections is calculated by considering each section (straight and curved), one at a time.
true
The way to clear an obstruction in a duct before cable is pulled through it is to use a __?__.
mandrel
A fishline is needed in all conduits to help install the pulling rope used to pull the cable through the conduit. A steel fish tape is never used because the equipment might be energized.
