DIN EN 50173 defines the bending radius for copper cable:

• Minimum bending radius during installation: 8 times the cable diameter.
• Minimum bending radius after installation (only once): 4 times the cable diameter.

In the product standard DIN VDE 0298 part 3 the permitted bending radius for electric lines depends on the conductor diameter Ø are specified:

For multi-core plastic-insulated cables

• 4 x Ø

For flexible cables with free movement:

• Ø = 8 to 12mm: 4 x Ø
• Ø = 12 to 20mm: 5 x Ø

For flexible cables for fixed installation:

• Ø = 8 to 12mm: 3 x Ø
• Ø = 12 to 20mm: 4 x Ø

If the bend radius is not adhered to during the cable routing, the material stretches and compressions change the mechanical construction of the cable. The result is a degradation of the electrical properties.
