what is meant by pull back effect when pulling in electric cables in conduit
There has to be a pull box between every four quarter bends in a conduit run.
Code states no more that 4 - 90 degree bends in a conduit run between pull boxes.
You can pull 10 #3 gauge wires in a 2 1/2" conduit.
There are both industrial and home owner cable pulling techniques. The former may involve heavy equipment and cable greasing and many people. Pulling cable on a small scale involves a snake and sometimes a pull cord. A snake is a coiled metal strip that you push through the conduit. When it comes out the other end or to a pull box you connect the wire and pull it back through the conduit. If more wire might be pulled later, also attach a pull cord so it will be left behind in the conduit for future use.

The chance of causing a break in the wire, or damage to the wire covering or coating. Also, it is not that you shouldn't pull on cables as in running electrical conduit in a building, it is common that the electrician has to "Pull"the wires through the conduit. The electrician generally knows how hard he can pull without damaging or chafing the wires.
its 180 degrees If you use the above answer the conduit will flatten and close off. The maximum degrees for a single bend in conduit is 90 degrees. Also code only allows four 90 degree bends in a conduit run between pull boxes.
The outer casing of an Ethernet cable does not have a UV rating and will deteriorate under the summer sun. Pull the cable into a conduit and if possible bury the conduit underground. This will give you a safe and secure link.
An electrical conduit is a tube used to protect and route electrical wiring in a building or nonbuilding structure. Electrical conduit may be made of metal, plastic, fiber, or fired clay. Most conduit is rigid, but flexible conduit is used for some purposes.
A pull box is a junction box that is placed in long conduit runs to make the pulling in of the wires easier. The code only allows 4 one quarter bends between pull boxes. If the conduit run incorporates more that 4 bends then a pull box has to be inserted into the run. The code allows up to the "equivalent" of four quarter bends or 360 degrees total before pull box is required.

When you refer to a pull box you have to be talking about a conduit system. In a metallic system, no don't have to ground pull boxes. By the fact that it is a metallic system the conduit and associated boxes are already grounded by the connection to the distribution panel. In a PVC conduit system a ground wire has to be pulled so that the load device has a return ground wire to trip the breaker on a ground fault. Pull boxes in a PVC system don't have to be grounded just the last junction box at the load.
