The wire bending space is determine from the UL standards and the NEC, based on the mains amperage rating and maximum wire size the load center will accept. SEE THE NEC wire bending tables. Phase A is yellow, phase B is green and phase C is red. Lighting and socket circuits generally use 2. 5mm2 wires, and. Prior to any use of this standard, in part or in whole, by another standards development organization, permission must first be obtained from the IEEE Standards Activities Department (stds. The minimum bend radius is the smallest acceptable adius the cable is allowed to be bent around. When bent too sharply, helical metal tapes can eparate. concerned on the datasheet too. Each subsection, for example BS7870-4. In tight installations, engineers/installers may be tempted to push the limits of the minimum cable bend radius and cite “it should be ok. To install the cables safely without damaging the electrical and physical properties of the cables, the tabulated minimum.
