A hybrid conductor puller-tensioner and control system are disclosed. The puller-tensioner includes a motor/generator mechanically coupled to a drum. The motor/generator is in electrical communication with a generator and a rechargeable power source. In a tensioning mode, the motor/generator can be used to charge the rechargeable power source. In a pulling mode, when the power demanded by the motor exceeds the capacity of the generator, the motor can be connected to both the generator and the rechargeable power source simultaneously to provide additional power.

Hybrid installation apparatus and processes

An intelligent electrical conductor installation system includes a puller sub-system, a tensioner sub-system, and a running board. The pull sub-system is configured to provide a pulling force to a pull rope connected on one end to the running board. The tensioner sub-system is configured to provide tension to the one or more conductors connected to the running board during installation of the conductors. The running board is connected to the pull rope on a first end, and configured to be connected to one or more conductors on a second end, wherein the running board includes one or more sensors configured to sense attributes of the conductor pull operation.
