Medium-voltage (MV) cable pulling is not just slopping on lubrication and applying brute force.
SIDEBAR: Using a Cable Grip on Lead Sheathed Cable
You can find the maximum pulling tension on lead-sheathed cable when using a cable grip by using the following equation: TsubM = (4712) x (t) x (d - t), where t is the sheath thickness (inches) and d is the overall diameter of the cable (inches).
