Multi-core SWA cable installation in vertical risers.

Des
Hi


I have just had a conversation with a contractor who has stipulated that as part of a vertical cable installation it is a requirement to put a kink in the cable every 5-7m. The reason behind this is they say it helps with the distribution of the weight on high vertical risers.


I have never heard of anyone doing this? can someone please advise me if this is now a requirement, or point me in the right direction for clarification, i.e. is it in any of the guidance notes.


Regards

    OK, so the cable is cleated say every 500 mm and kinked every 5 m. If the nine cleats below the kink fail, how will the tenth one support the cable? ?



    If nine cleats failed, then you did it wrong, and the tenth one is probably about to fail anyway.
