IEEE 576:2000 pdf download.IEEE Recommended Practice for Installation, Termination, and Testing of Insulated Power Cable as Used in Industrial and Commercial Applications.
This recommended practice provides a guide for installing. splicing, terminating, and field proof testing of cable systems in industrial and commercial applications. It is not intended to he a design document, although many of the problems of installation can he avoided by designing cable layouts within the installation limits of this recommended practice.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this recommended practice is to provide a uniform guide of installation limits that will avoid premature cable failure due to improper installation and mechanical damage during installation. It is intended to provide a reference that can he specified for cable installations.

3. Definitions
3.1 electrical connection: The point at which two or more electrical conductors are joined together to establish electrical continuity.
3.2 jamming: The wedging of cables in a conduit when three cables lie side by side in a flat plane.
3.3 minimum bending radius: The minimum radius to which an insulated cable can be permanently bent that will not result in mechanical damage to the cable. In a bend, the radius is measured to the inside curve of the cable, not to the centerline of the cable.
3.4 sidewall pressure: The pressure exerted on an insulated cable as the result of the cable as being pulled around a bend during installation.IEEE 576 pdf download.
