What can be installed to prevent damage to conductors while pulling?

To prevent damage to conductors while pulling, a weak link can be utilized. A weak link serves as a safety mechanism that is designed to break under excessive tension. This helps to reduce the risk of damaging the conductors during the pulling process, particularly if there is a sudden jerk or excessive force applied. By integrating a weak link into the pulling system, the integrity of the conductors is safeguarded, ensuring they remain intact while allowing for a controlled release of tension.

In contrast, a strengthener could imply reinforcement, which does not address the issue of excess tension leading to potential conductor damage. A shield may act as a protective layer but does not specifically address the tension-related risks during the pull. A friction pad could reduce sliding friction but won't inherently prevent conductor damage resulting from tension. Thus, employing a weak link is the most effective method to ensure the safety of conductors against damage during the pulling process.
