Abstract :
Existing theory and research on the pulling (and jamming) of three power cables through bends are reviewed. Pulling tension through bends is measured for three cable pulls with jam ratios from 2.4 to 4.3. These three cable pulls are compared to single cable pulls. Cable feed position and lubrication in three cable pulls are also analyzed
