INTRODUCTION The B-Line Cable T ray Manual was produced by B-Line's technical staff. B-Line has recognized the need for a complete cable tray reference source for electrical engineers and designers.
Large numbers of electrical engineers have limited detail knowledge concer ning wiring systems. There is the tendency by engineers to avoid becoming involved in the details of wiring systems, leaving the wiring system selection and design to designers or contractors.
CABLE TRA Y DEPENDABILITY A properly designed and installed cable tray system with the appropriate cable types will provide a wiring system of outstanding dependability for the control, communication, data handling, instrumentation, and power systems.
CABLE TRA Y WIRING SYSTEM COST SA VINGS Usually, the initial capital cost is the major factor in selecting a project's wiring system when an evaluation is made comparing cable tray wiring systems and conduit wiring systems. Such an evaluation often covers just the conductors, material, and installation labor costs.
signal circuits, logic input/output (I/O) circuits, etc. There are other cable tray installations which require a higher cost cable than the equivalent conduit installation. Such installations are limited to areas where low smoke emission and/or low flame spread ITC or PL TC cables must be used.
• The higher the elevation of the wiring system, the more important the number of components required to complete the installation. Many additional man-hours will be required just moving the components needed for the conduit system up to the work location.
• Moisture is a major cause of electrical equipment and material failures. Breathing due to temperature cycling results in the conduits accumulating relatively large amounts of moisture.
392.1. Scope. Of the types of cable trays listed in this section, ladder cable tray is the most widely used type of cable tray due to several very desirable features. • The rungs provide a convenient anchor for tying down cables in vertical runs or where the positions of the cables must be maintained in horizontal runs.
The 1999 NEC ® added the word ‘ventilated’ in front of trough to clear up some confusion that solid trough is treated the same as ventilated trough.
The words "and other similar structures." were incorporated in Section 392.1 for future types of cable tray that might be developed, such as center supported type cable tray.
Cable T ray Materials Metallic cable trays are readily available in aluminum, pregalvanized steel, hot-dip galvanized after fabrication, and stainless steel. Aluminum cable tray should be used for most installations unless specific corrosion problems prohibit its use.
on the use of Type MI cable is that it may not be used where it is exposed to destructive corrosive conditions unless protected by materials suitable for the conditions.
instrumentation and data handling systems. These are very critical circuits that impact on facility safety and on product quality. Type ITC cable must be supported and secured at intervals not exceeding 6 feet [See Section 727.
392.3. Uses Per mitted. (B) In Industrial Establishments. (1) Single Conductor . Section 392.3(B)(1) covers 600 volt and Type MV single conductor cables. There are several sections which cover the requirements for the use of single conductor cables in cable tray even though they only comprise a small percentage of cable tray wiring systems.
501-4(A)(1)(d) allows Type ITC-HL cable to be installed in Class I, Division I areas if they have a gas/vapor tight continuous corrugated aluminum sheath with a suitable plastic jacket over the sheath and provided with ter mination fittings listed for the application.
Note 1. The cables are limited to a single layer with spacing between cables equal to the diameter of the largest adjacent cable. This means that the cables must be tied down at frequent intervals in horizontal as well as vertical cable trays to maintain the cable spacing.
high amperage short circuit if a low resistance metallic path (metallic cable tray or metallic raceway) is present [See information under Section 392.5(F) Nonmetallic Cable Trays] . 392.4. Uses Not Per mitted. This is the only place in the NEC ® where all the various types of cable tray have limitations on their place of use.
for the cable tray is deter mined by adding all the applicable component loads. The cable load + the concentrated static loads + ice load (if applicable) + snow load (if applicable) + wind load (if applicable) + any other logical special condition loads that might exist.
moisture content, however the minimum density that should be used for snow is 5 pounds per cubic foot. The engineer will have to contact the weather service to deter mine the potential snow falls for the installation area or consult the local building code for a recommended design load.
support. Although the use of cable tray fittings is not mandatory, it is often desirable to use them when possible to improve the appearance of the installation. 392.5. Construction Specifications. (F) Nonmetallic Cable T ray. This type of cable tray is usually made of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP).
There are some designers, engineers, and inspectors that do not think that cable tray is a mechanical support system just as strut is a mechanical support system.
392.6. Installation. (C) Supports. The intent of this section is to ensure that the conductor insulation and cable jackets will not be damaged due to stress caused by improper support.
392.6. Installation. (E) Multiconductor Cables Rated 600 V olts or Less. Cables containing 300 or 600 volt insulated conductors may be installed inter mingled in the same cable tray which is different from the requirements for raceways.
Accessible: (As applied to wiring methods) Capable of being removed or exposed without damaging the building structure or finish, or not permanently closed in by the structure or finish of the building.
