  • PullSPEC Pull Calculation Services | The third party solution to pull calculation accuracy

    PullSPEC Pull Calculation Services | The third party solution to pull calculation accuracy
    Jun 29 2025
    Master The NEC | Episode 26 is about the importance of Pull Calculations in medium to large scale projects where the owners, such as the Amazon's of the world, and the electrical contractor and electrical design professional want a third part to do pull calculations to ensure the utmost accuracy of the pull by reducing the risk of conductor damage during the pull but also long term.

    Remember, the product is only successful if the conductors or cable are not damaged. A code compliant installation of raceways do not always mean the conductors will go into the raceway system without damage to the installation. We provide specific Check Lists to every pull based on our analysis of each individual pull. The newest trend is to asign this assurance to the experts and our PullSPEC™ services provides that extra level of assurance. All pull calculations and analysis reports are confirmed by wire and cable experts with over 11 years of dedicated service to that industry as well as nearly 40 years of NEC expertise.

    Listen as Paul Abernathy, CEO, and Founder of Electrical Code Academy, Inc., the leading electrical educator in the country, discusses electrical code, electrical trade, and electrical business-related topics to help electricians maximize their knowledge and industry investment.
