[Native Advertisement]. Q: I am installing 500-metric-circular-mil-copper, 15-kilovolt cable with 133% insulation and a copper tape shield. The cable manufacturer gives a minimum bend radius of 12 times the cable diameter, which is 1.6 inches. Does that bend radius apply only when you are pulling cable around a 90o angle, and does it change when you are pulling cable around a smaller angle? If so, how do you calculate the change?
