I need to pull new set of feeder wires (5)-750 kcmil in one 6" PVC underground but we found the conduit have at the end 2-90? elbows 5' radious and in the middle have 4-90?elbows 25' radious, the distance of point A to point B is 365'.
those 90?25' radious is considering drag resistance on a wire pull ?
assuming 25' radius is pipe swooped in ditch.
also assuming you are pulling aluminum.
i'm doing underground in november, one run of which
is 4", having four 750 mcm's, with a ground, 650' long.
in aluminum, that pull at current pricing is $8,200 for
the wire, so i'm suspecting you aren't pulling copper.
there will be three 36" sweeps, one on each end, one at
about 450' and a number of swoops in the run, count on
it.
wire will be simpull, pulled dry. it'll be pulled with a 2,500#
mule tape, with a maxis 3000# tugger for the first part,
and a 12,000 lb greenlee pull rope for the last half of the
pull.
i doubt i'll see 2,000# on the strain gauge.
if you pull with simpull, what you are pulling should
be effortless.
i've yet to see an inspector count a schwoop as a 90.
