B-Line series Cable Tray Design Considerations
Note that wider rung spacings and wider cable tray widths decrease the overall strength of the cable tray. Specifiers should be aware
It is not necessary to install bonding jumpers at standard rigid galvanized steel or aluminum splice plate connections or offset reducing splice plate connections or any Classified connections. A bonding jumper is classified as a reliable conductor to ensure the required electrical conductivity between metal parts required to be electrically connected. These excellent records are the result of cable tray's unique features plus the proper design and installation of the cable tray wiring systems. A connection resistance above 0.

The cable must be secured at intervals not exceeding six feet. TC cables are not permitted to be installed outside of a cable tray

Some applications may require the cable tray to support the weight of a single, dead object in addition to the cable loads.

Tray cables being installed in cable trays do not have to be pulled into the termination equipment enclosures. Tray cable may be

If these circuits were installed in cable tray, the conductor sizes would not need to be increased since the parallel conductor derating

Non-metallic cable trays do not serve as a conductor. It is also recommended that wire mesh cable trays not be used as an

Overloading cable trays can lead to a breakdown of the tray, its connecting points, and/or supports, causing hazards to persons

Cables Allowed in NEC Tray Applications Cable tray is one of the most common methods of supporting wire and cable. There are

It is not necessary to apply conductive compound on the standard cable tray splice plate connections or to install bonding jumpers

For safety reasons, the grounding should be right before the wire is energized. This is true for cable tray, conduit, cable, or any

It is not necessary to install bonding jumpers at standard rigid galvanized steel or aluminum splice plate connections or offset

It is not necessary to install bonding jumpers in parallel with the standard rigid aluminum or steel one-piece metallic bolted side rail

Expansion connectors must be provided at building expansion joints and in long runs of outdoor trays at intervals of 30 m (100 ft) or
