Copper Building Wire is the most
frequently specified wiring solution
today for commercial, industrial and
residential applications. General Cable
offers a complete line of Copper
Building Wire to serve the demanding
electrical industry.
For commercial and industrial projects,
THHN is widely specified for power
distribution. From service entrance and
feeders to branch circuits, it can handle
most electrical wiring needs.
For harsh industrial and transportation
environments, Genkene® XLPE
insulation is an ideal wiring solution.
Type XHHW is well suited for building
wire power distribution and Type USE
can be utilized as underground service
entrance. Both products offer excellent
dielectric, tensile strength and cut
resistance properties.
For residential construction, contractors
demand Romex®, invented by General
Cable in 1922. Types NM and UF are
very popular for branch wiring. Romex®
is lightweight and easy to install, perfect
for home building and remodeling.
Residential and commercial service
entrance cables are also available from
General Cable. Type SE is well suited to
carry electric power from service
entrance equipment and can be used
as branch circuits.
General Cable Type TFFN can be
utilized in a wide array of applications
as fixture wire, machine tool wire and
appliance wiring material.
The General Cable line of Copper
Building Wire products is fully stocked
in our network of Regional Distribution
Centers. We have the flexibility to
support distributor’s and home center’s
stocking needs or can ship to meet
specific customer requirements.

provides a reliable and proven
alternative to copper insulated building
wire. Electrical system designers have
long appreciated the economic
advantage of aluminum building wire.
Electrical contractors value its flexibility,
light weight and ease of installation.
Compact stranding provides reduced
conductor diameters, meaning that in
some applications, 8000 series
aluminum equals the current carrying
capacity of copper installed in the same
sized conduit.
Our new aluminum conductors are three
times more flexible. This allows for ease
of installation, especially for those tight
bends in service entrance applications.
The Genkene® thermoset cross-linked
polyethylene (XLPE) insulation is 60%
more resistant to abrasion than the
leading competitor. This tough, abrasion
resistant insulation protects the
conductors from the typical job site
scrapes and scratches, reducing
downtime.

Our designs offer considerable savings
for commercial and industrial wiring
applications as well as residential
service entrance.
General Cable’s 8000 series aluminum
building wire is recognized by the
National Electric Code (NEC®) and is
listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(UL®).
General Cable’s aluminum building wire
products are fully stocked in our
network of Regional Distribution
Centers. We have the flexibility to
support distributors’ stocking needs, or
we can ship direct to job sites to meet
specific customer requirements.

Index
Commercial and industrial specifiers of
wire and cable systems have always
appreciated the value engineered
characteristics of Power and Control
Tray Cable. This cabling system
facilitates installation resulting in
considerable time and labor savings.
In some applications, the need for
conduit or raceway is eliminated.
Flexibility is another chief advantage
of Tray Cable systems. The “open-tray”
concept allows for easy access from
power source to branch circuits. Given
today’s flexible manufacturing work
centers, these systems offer savings
long after the initial installation.
As a major manufacturer of wire and
cable, our role is to ensure that our Tray
Cable products meet the needs and
requirements of the user. These cables,
like all others, meet or exceed the strict
requirements of all applicable UL and
ASTM standards.
Type TC cables are specified where
small diameter, flame retardant cables
are desired. Designs range from 2
through 37 conductors and are available
with a ground. Our product has proven
itself: approved for direct burial, wet or
dry locations, outdoor use requiring sunlight resistance and hazardous locations.
General Cable’s Tray Cable is
conveniently stocked in our network
of Regional Distribution Centers. We
can supply master cutting reels for
distributor stock or ship direct to
meet specific end user requirements.

specifying wire and cable products to
meet residential, commercial and
industrial requirements has become
more time consuming and complex.
Today’s designers, installers and
contractors must be aware of general
power transmission line types and of
the myriad of materials available to
meet specific environmental and
electrical performance criteria.

This technical section is presented to
aid in the selection of building wire
products to best suit specific designs
and applications.
For technical issues and questions,
please contact your local General Cable
distributor or our customer service
department.
Technical Information
Installation Guidelines
Tests have shown that cable failures
are often due to damage caused
during installation. The recommended
practices detailed are based on
information compiled from field
experience installing electrical
conductors that are recognized by
applicable codes and standards.
Cables must not be installed below
the minimum installation temperature
without warming the cables. When
installing in cold weather, cables should
be stored in a heated environment for
at least 24 hours prior to installation.
Cables installed in trays should follow
the requirements of NEC® Article 318.
Be sure the cable is suitable for use in
cable trays and the capacity of the tray
is not exceeded.
Straight cable runs may be installed by
simply laying the cable in place. Where
pulls are required, use large radius
sheaves around bends and smaller
Be sure that the raceway is sized in
accordance with the requirements of
the NEC® and planned conductor
additions in the future.
Run a “fish” line through the raceway.
This may be done by attaching the line
to a piston-type device which is
propelled through the raceway by compressed air. Another method is to push
a round flexible steel wire through the
raceway. Polyethylene fish tapes may
be used for shorter runs up to 100 feet.
Attach a clean-out brush to the fish line
and pull through the raceway to remove
or loosen any burrs. Then pull a swab
through to clean out foreign objects.
Attach a pull line to the conductors
utilizing a properly sized basket grip.
Stagger the conductor ends and anchor

sheaves on straight sections to
facilitate installation. Care should be
taken so that pulling attachments are
protected to prevent damage to
sheaves and trays that could result in
damage to conductors or insulation.

Temperature Guidelines
Guidelines for Installing
Conductors in Cable Trays
Straps and other cable anchoring
devices must not cut into the insulation.
in position with a wide tape. This
provides maximum flexibility around
bends. For single conductors on a reel,
stagger reels one behind the other to
prevent conductor crossover and
jamming.
Guidelines for Pulling
Conductors in Raceways
Use a UL listed pulling compound that
is compatible with the conductor
insulation and apply to the conductors
as they are fed into the raceway.
Utilize adequate pulling equipment that
makes a steady pull on the cables;
avoid sudden jolting or lurching
motions. When possible, feed
conductors into the raceway end
closest to the sharpest bend to
minimize required pulling tension.
Pulling conductors in a downward
direction allows gravity to assist in
pulling with reduced tension.

Technical Information
Installation Guidelines
Recommended Tension
for Pulling Conductors
in Raceways
The force required to pull a cable into
a raceway depends on the raceway
length, cable weight, coefficient of
friction and the attachment method
employed. When pulling a cable, the
maximum tension must not be
exceeded.
A.
When pulling a cable, the
maximum stresses must not
be exceeded.
1. The maximum tension should not
exceed 0.008 times the circular mil
area when pulled with a pulling
eye attached to the copper or
aluminum conductors.
Tmax = 0.008 x n x CMA x LS
Where:
Tmax = Maximum tension (lbs.)
n=
Number of conductors
in cable
CMA = Circular Mill Area of
copper conductors
LS = .8 Load sharing factor for
pulling multiple cables
(parallel or multiplex
constructions, or parallel pulls); or
LS = 1.0 For pulling single
conductors or jacketed
multi-conductor cables.
2. Maximum tension shall not exceed
1,000 lbs. for non-leaded cables
pulled with a basket grip. However,
a maximum stress calculated for
Item 1 cannot be exceeded. When
using a pulling eye, maximum
tension for 1 conductor cable must
not exceed 5,000 Ibs. Maximum
tension for two or more conductors
shall not exceed 6,000 Ibs.

3. Maximum tension at a bend must
not exceed 300 times radius of
curvature of duct expressed in feet.
(Still not exceeding max. tension
calculated for Item 1 or 2.)
Therefore, minimum radius should
not exceed R(ft.) = T/300 where T
is maximum tension under Item 1
or 2.
B. The pulling tension in any given
horizontal duct section may be
calculated from:
1. In a straight section, the required
pulling tension is equal to length of
duct multiplied by weight per foot
of cable and coefficient of friction
which varies depending on
lubrication used. For an upper limit,
a value of 0.5 may be used.
T=Lxwxf
L = length of duct run in feet
w = weight of cable in pounds/foot
f = coefficient of friction
2. For curved sections of ducts, the
following formula is applicable:
Ttotal = T2 + T1 (efa)
T2 = tension for straight section at
pulling end
T1 = tension for straight section at
feeding end
f = coefficient of friction
a = angle of bend in radians
As an aid to using above formula,
values for efa for specific angles of
bend and coefficients of friction are
listed in the table below.

Minimum Bending Radii In Inches
As A Multiple of Cable Diameter
(Non-Shielded Power Cables)
The table below gives the minimum values for the radii to which insulated
cables may be bent for permanent training during installation. This refers to
those bends which are made within manholes, switchgear, etc. after the
cable has been pulled in. These values do not apply to flexing applications
or to sheaves, conduit/duct bends, or any other curved surface around
which the cable may be pulled under tension while being installed. Larger
radii bends are required for these conditions. A factor of two times the
value in the table has been found to be satisfactory in most instances.

NOTES:
(1) The minimum radius specified refers to the inner surface of the cable not the axis of the
cable. For flat cables, the minor diameter is used.
(2) Round off all values to next highest I/4 inch.

Technical Information
Recommended Reel Capacities
For a Given Wire Diameter and Reel Size
Reel Capacity Calculations
T
The length of round cable that will fit on a given
reel is calculated as follows:
p
L = 12
FD
A
D+
(F-(2C)-D) *
(.95D)
(1.9d)
(F-(2C)-D) * .95T *
(1.9d)
d
* Round down the result to the nearest whole
number.
Where: L = Length on the reel
F = Flange of the reel
T = Traverse of the reel
D = Drum of the reel
C = Clearance left between the outer cable layer
and flange (the greater of 1" or d is
recommended for warehouses; 2" minimum
for jobsites)
d = Diameter of the cable
F - Flange
T - Traverse
D - Drum
A - Arbor
A 5% nesting factor and 95% traverse utilization
are factored in.
