Single conductor Cable Tray Size
The National Electric Code (NEC) specifies the minimum size for cable tray systems which includes ladder, ventilated trough, ventilated channel, solid bottom and other similar structures. It’s important to note that cable trays are mechanical support systems and not raceways. Raceways are included in another section of the code.
Proper cable tray sizing is complicated and often existing cable trays are overloaded per the code. If you have questions or would like some engineering assistance to properly size your cable tray installation please contact us.
