Typically, wires have a bend radius of 10 times the diameter of the wire. Measuring the inside. This is basically to prevent injury or changes in impedance at the bend. Also note that the tighter the bend can damage the insulation in coaxial or triaxial cables and cause lower dielectric strength between layers. Best to install cables where ripples don't form on the surface and moderate force is recommended. MIL-W-5088 has more information.

For normal 400 volts ac system. A common guide would be 10 to 12 times the diameter of cables.

The reason is to reduce the undue stress on the cable and it's insulation . Which differs to manufacturer specification or electrical codes.

The radius of the curve of the inner edge of the bends shall be at least 6 times the external diameter of the armoured cable. For low voltage cable, 10.5 times the diameter of the cable. For high voltage cable, 18 times the diameter of the cable.

What is the minimum bend radius for the diameter of cable?

It depends on the cable. 0 to 5000 volts the minimum bending radius is 6 x diameter of the cable. Above 5000 volts the minimum bending radius is 8 x the diameter of the cable.
