The Cable Tray Institute is making available the current edition of this practical guide for the proper installation of aluminum or steel cable tray systems. These guidelines will be useful to engineers, contractors, and maintenance personnel. Cable tray (or cable ladder) systems are a popular alternative to electrical conduit systems, as they have an outstanding record for dependable service, design flexibility and cost savings in commercial and industrial applications. Cable trays give cables a clear path. The mechanical and electrical characteristics, tests, certifications, overall quality management, recommendations mentioned in this technical guide only apply to our own cable management ranges and cannot under any circumstances be transposed to si osure, overheating or. Most projects are roughly defined at the start of cable tray design. For projects that are not 100 percent defined before design start, the cost of and time used in coping with continuous changes during the engineering and drafting design phases will be substantially less for cable tray wiring.
