and ducts. In particular soap shall not be used as lubricant. For cables over 1100V volts and
having non-metallic jackets without adequate static shielding, the lubricant should not include
hygroscopic greases that will leave a conducting film on the surface of the cable.
5.11.02.06 After pulling cable, the bidder shall record cable identification and data pulled, neatly with

offsets and branches. Cables shall then be restrained temporarily in an approved manner on
one side of each angle, branch or offset in turn, cables shall be formed to the change in tray
direction so that the finished cable will lie flat and straight in the tray in a neat and approved
manner without restraint and without looping out of trays along straight runs of trays, on any
change of direction. Where excess length has been fed into a tray ,such excess length shall
be backed out of tray as cable is formed at bends and is trimmed flat and straight in trays,
and finally out to correct length upto its terminal point. Where cabinet, cubicle, switchgear or
other terminal point for cable are equipped with cable or wiring trays or through gutters, the
