All wiring shall be installed on the loop-in system with connections made at equipment oraccessories.Ensure minimum bending radius requirements for all cable types are maintained at all times.For cables run in conduit use draw wires to pull in cable groups from point to point. Fillconduit to a maximum of 75% of the capacity noted in AS/NZS 3000.Run all wiring systems grouped, tied or enclosed, square and parallel. Do not use adhesivefixing for cable support systems.Install cables in a manner that does not damage the cable during installation. Any noted “Spare Mains” are to have 6mm nylon draw wire installed within the conduits for future hauling of cables. Draw wires shall be fixed to the caps at the ends of these conduitsat the pit locations on Spare Mains.6.4.2 Mains and SubmainsRun in conduits or on cable support systems.Terminate using cable lugs and crimping tool.Use suitable glands when entering equipment or assemblies.Identify cables at both ends using stamped tags or similar.
