Quick List Selection Pr ocess
See pages 36 & 37 for expanded selection process.
1. Support Span Issues are: Strength and Length
• Very important to first consider the support span as it affects the strength of the system and the length of
the straight sections required.
• Short Span, 6 to 8 foot support spacing - use 12 foot sections.
• Intermediate Span, 8 to 12 foot support spacing - use 12 foot sections.
• Long Span, 16 to 20 foot support spacing - use 20 foot sections.
• Extra Long Span, over 20 foot to 30 foot support spacing - use 24 or 30 foot sections.
2. Working Load Issues are: Size (Width, Loading Depth, and Strength)
Cable Load
• Types and numbers of cables to support - Total cable load in lbs. per linear foot (lbs/ft)
• Power - is single layer - issue width (refer to local electrical code)
• Low Voltage - is stacked - issue loading depth and width (refer to affecting code)
• See chart of listed cable load guidelines (refer to pages 36 and 37)
Additional Loads
200 lb. concentrated load - Industrial installations
Ice, Wind, Snow loads - Outdoor installations
Select a Cable Tray system that meets the working load for the support span required and a straight
section length that fits the installation. NEMA VE 2 - Straight sections equal to or larger than span.
www.cabletrays.com/technical.htm
3. Installation Environment Issues are: Material and Finish
• Indoor Dry - Institutional, Office, Commercial, Light Industrial
Aluminum, Pre-Galvanized Steel
• Indoor Industrial - Automotive, Pulp and Paper, Power Plants
Aluminum, Pre-Galvanized Steel, Possibly Hot-Dipped Galvanized After Fabrication (HDGAF)
• Outdoor Industrial - Petrochemical, Automotive, Power Plants
Aluminum, Hot-Dipped Galvanized After Fabrication (HDGAF)
• Outdoor Marine - Off Shore Platforms
Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Fiberglass
• Special - Petrochemical, Pulp and Paper, Environmental Air

Advantage of Using Cooper B-Line Cable Tray?

Selection!
What kind of Cooper B-Line Cable Tray will work for your project?
First, answer three questions.
1.

2.

3.

Location: Where will the project be located?
A. Is the installation inside or outside?
(decision dealing with thermal and weather conditions)
B. Any contact of corrosive materials?
(decision on cable tray material or finish)
C. Is the location for the cable tray confined or open?
(decision on the size and type of cable tray)
Span: What would be the longest and shortest spans between supporting locations for the
installation of cables? (decision on type or combination of types of cable tray design
needed to be the most efficient and economical)
Cables: How many and what type of cables are involved in the support installation?
(decision on the strength of the cable tray)

All these variables are important to the cost savings and safety
of your Cooper B-Line Cable Tray installation project.

It is your money, your decision.

Stainless Steel

Aluminum cable trays are fabricated
from structural grade “copper free”
(marine grade) aluminum extrusions.
Aluminum’s excellent corrosion
resistance is due to its ability to form
an aluminum oxide film that when
scratched or cut reforms the original
protective film. Aluminum has
excellent resistance to "weathering” in
most outdoor applications. Aluminum
cable tray has excellent corrosion
resistance in many chemical environments and has been used for over thirty
years in petro-chemical plants and paper
mills along the gulf coast from Texas to
Florida. Typically, aluminum cable trays
can perform indefinitely, with little or no
degradation over time, making it ideal
for many chemical and marine
environments. The resistance to
chemicals, indoor and outdoor, can best
be determined by tests conducted by the
user with exposure to the specific
conditions for which it is intended. For
further information, contact Cooper
B-Line or the Aluminum Association.

Steel cable trays are fabricated from
continuous roll-formed structural quality
steel. By roll-forming steel, the
mechanical properties are increased
allowing the use of a lighter gauge steel
to carry the required load. This reduces
the dead weight that must be carried by
the supports and the installers. Using
structural quality steel, Cooper B-Line
assures that the material will meet the
minimum yield and tensile strengths of
applicable ASTM standards. All cable
tray side rails, rungs and splice plates
are numbered for material traceability.
The corrosion resistance of steel varies
widely with coating and alloy.

Stainless Steel cable trays are
fabricated from continuous roll-formed
AISI Type 304 or AISI Type 316/316L
stainless steel. Both are non-magnetic
and belong to the group called austenitic
stainless steels. Like carbon steel, they
exhibit increased strength when cold
worked by roll-forming or bending.

Several important conditions could
make the use of stainless steel
imperative. These include long term
maintenance costs, corrosion resistance,
appearance and locations where product
contamination is undesirable. Stainless
steel exhibits stable structural properties
such as yield strength and high creep
strength at elevated temperatures.
Cooper B-Line’s stainless steel cable
trays are welded using stainless steel
welding wire to ensure each weldment
exhibits the same corrosion resistant
characteristic as the base metal.
Localized staining in the weld area or
heat affected zone may occur in severe
environments. Specialized shielding
gases and low carbon materials are used
to minimize carbon contamination
during welding and reduce staining and
stress corrosion. Specify passivation
after fabrication per ASTM A380 to
minimize staining, improve aesthetics
and further improve corrosion
resistance.
A detailed study of the corrosive
environment is recommended when
considering a stainless steel design
(see pages 22 & 23).

Chromium/ Zinc

Zinc protects steel in two ways. First it
protects the steel as a coating and
second as a sacrificial anode to repair
bare areas such as cut edges, scratches,
and gouges. The corrosion protection
of zinc is directly related to its thickness
and the environment. This means a .2
mil coating will last twice as long as a .1
mil coating in the same environment.

Chromium/ Zinc is a corrosion
resistant composition, which was
developed to protect fasteners and
small bulk items for automotive use.
The coating applications have since
been extended to larger parts and other
markets.
Chromium/Zinc composition is an
aqueous coating dispersion containing
chromium, proprietary organics, and
zinc flake.
This finish provides 1000 hours
protection in salt spray testing per
ASTM B117, exceeding NEMA VE-1
requirements by 300%.

Galvanizing also protects cut and drilled edges.

Pre-Galvanized Zinc
(Mill galvanized, hot dip mill galvanized or continuous hot dip galvanized)

Electrogalvanized Zinc
Electrogalvanized Zinc (also known as
zinc plated or electroplated) is the
process by which a coating of zinc is
deposited on the steel by electrolysis
from a bath of zinc salts. This finish is
standard for cable tray hardware and
some accessories for aluminum and
pre-galvanized systems.
A rating of SC3, B-Line’s standard,
provides a minimum zinc coating
thickness of .5 mils (excluding threaded
rod, which is SC1 = .2 mils)
When exposed to air and moisture,
zinc forms a tough, adherent, protective
film consisting of a mixture of zinc
oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates.
This film is in itself a barrier coating
which slows subsequent corrosive attack
on the zinc. This coating is usually
recommended for indoor use in
relatively dry areas, as it provides
ninety-six hours protection in salt spray
testing per ASTM B117.

Pre-Galvanized steel is produced by
coating coils of sheet steel with zinc by
continuously rolling the material through
molten zinc at the mills. This is also
known as mill galvanized or hot dip mill
galvanized. These coils are then slit to
size and fabricated by roll forming,
shearing, punching, or forming to
produce B-Line pre-galvanized cable
tray products.
The G90 specification calls for a
coating of .90 ounces of zinc per square
foot of steel. This results in a coating
of .45 ounces per square foot on each
side of the sheet. This is important
when comparing this finish to hot dip
galvanized after fabrication.
During fabrication, cut edges and
welded areas are not normally zinc
coated; however, the zinc near the
uncoated metal becomes a sacrificial
anode to protect the bare areas after a
short period of time.
To further insure a quality product,
B-Line welds all pre-galvanized cable
trays with a silicon bronze welding wire

allowing only a small heat affected zone
to be exposed. This small area quickly
repairs itself by the same process as cut
edges.

Hot Dip Galvanized After
Fabrication
(Hot dip galvanized or batch hot dip
galvanized)

Hot Dip Galvanized After Fabrication
cable tray products are fabricated from
steel and then completely immersed in a
bath of molten zinc. A metallic bond
occurs resulting in a zinc coating that
completely coats all surfaces, including
edges and welds.

Cable Tray Selection

Zinc Coatings

Another advantage of this method is
coating thickness. Cable trays hot dip
galvanized after fabrication have a
minimum thickness of 1.50 ounces per
square foot on each side, or a total 3.0
ounces per square foot of steel,
according to ASTM A123.
The zinc thickness is controlled by the
amount of time each part is immersed in
the molten zinc bath as well as the
speed at which it is removed. The term
"double dipping" refers to parts too large
to fit into the galvanizing kettle and,
therefore, must be dipped one end at a
time. It does not refer to extra coating
thickness.
The layer of zinc which bonds to steel
provides a dual protection against
corrosion. It protects first as an overall
barrier coating. If this coating happens
to be scratched or gouged, zinc's
secondary defense is called upon to
protect the steel by galvanic action.
Hot dip galvanized after fabrication is
recommended for prolonged outdoor
exposure and will protect steel for many
years in most outdoor environments
and in many aggressive industrial
environments (see charts on page 20).

PVC Coating

Painting Cable Tray

Special Paint

PVC coating aluminum or steel cable
tray is not recommended and has been
removed from Cooper B-Line’s cable
tray line.
The application of a 15 mil PVC
coating to aluminum or steel cable tray
was a somewhat popular finish option
15 or more years ago. The soft PVC
coating must be completely intact for
the finish to be effective. In a caustic
atmosphere, a pinhole in the coating
can render it useless and corrode the
cable tray. The shipment of the cable
tray consistently damages the coating,
as does installation. The splice
hardware, splice plates and ground
straps require field removal of the
coating to ensure connections. PVC
coated cable tray drastically increases
the product’s cost and delivery time.
Cooper B-Line recommends using
fiberglass - See Fiberglass section, or
stainless steel cable tray systems in
highly corrosive areas.

Cooper B-Line offers painted cable
tray to any color specified by the
customer. It is important to note
that there are key advantages and
disadvantages to ordering factory
painted cable tray. Cooper B-Line
typically does not recommend factory
painted cable tray for most applications.
Painted cable tray is often used in
“open ceiling” applications, where all
the overhead equipment and structure
is painted the same color. In this type
of application, additional painting is
often necessary in the field, after
installation, to ensure all of the
supporting components, such as hanger
rods, clamps and attaching hardware
have been painted uniformly. Prepainted cable tray interferes with
common grounding practices, requiring
the paint to be removed at splice
locations, and/or the addition of
bonding jumpers that were otherwise
unnecessary. This additional field
modification not only increases the
installation cost, but causes potential
damage to the special painted finish.
It is typically more cost effective to
use an Aluminum or Pre-Galvanized
Steel cable tray and paint it after
installation, along with the other
un-painted building components.
Consult painting contractor for proper
surface preparation.

B-Line cable tray and supports can
be painted or primed to meet the
customers requirements. Cooper B-Line
has several colors available, consult the
factory.
If a non-standard color is required the
following information needs to be
specified:
1. Type of material preparation
(primer, etc.)
2. Type of paint, manufacturer and
paint number or type of paint with
chip.
3. Dry film thickness.

Corrosion
1. The amount and concentration of electrolyte present- An
indoor, dry environment will have little or no galvanic
corrosion compared to a wet atmosphere.

All metal surfaces are affected by corrosion. Depending on
the physical properties of the metal and the environment to
which it is exposed, chemical or electromechanical corrosion
may occur.

2. The relative size of the materials- A small amount of
anodic material in contact with a large cathodic material
will result in greater corrosion. Likewise, a large anode
in contact with a small cathode will decrease the rate of
attack.

Atmospheric Corrosion
Atmospheric corrosion occurs when metal is exposed to
airborne liquids, solids or gases. Some sources of atmospheric corrosion are moisture, salt, dirt and sulphuric acid.
This form of corrosion is typically worse outdoors, especially
near marine environments.

3. The relative position on the Galvanic Series Table - The
further apart in the Galvanic Series Table, the greater the
potential for corrosion of the anodic material.

Chemical Corrosion
Chemical corrosion takes place when metal comes in direct
contact with a corrosive solution. Some factors which affect
the severity of chemical corrosion include: chemical concentration level, duration of contact, frequency of washing, and
operating temperature.

Galvanic Series In Sea Water
Anodic End

Galvanic Corrosion
Galvanic corrosion occurs when two or more dissimilar
metals are in contacts in the presence of an electrolyte (ie.
moisture). An electrolytic cell is created and the metals form
an anode or a cathode depending on their relative position
on the Galvanic Series Table. The anodic material will be
the one to corrode. Whether a material is anodic depends
on the relative position of the other material. For example: If zinc and steel are in contact, the zinc acts as the
anode and will corrode; the steel acts as the cathode, and
will be protected. If steel and copper are in contact, the
steel is now the anode and will corrode.
The rate at which galvanic corrosion occurs depends on
several factors:

Wet storage stain (White rust) is caused by the entrapment of
moisture between surfaces of closely packed and poorly
ventilated material for an extended period. Wet storage
stain is usually superficial, having no affect on the properties
of the metal.
Light staining normally disappears with weathering.
Medium to heavy buildup should be removed, in order to
allow the formation of normal protective film.
Proper handling and storage will help to assure stain-free
material. If product arrives wet, it should be unpacked and
dried before storage. Dry material should be stored in a well
ventilated “low moisture” environment to avoid condensation
formation. Outdoor storage is undesirable, and should be
avoided whenever possible.

The cable tray should be anchored at
the support nearest to its midpoint
between the expansion splice plates and
secured by expansion guides at all other
support locations (see Figure 1).
The cable tray should be permitted
longitudinal movement in both
directions from that fixed point. When
used, covers should be overlapped at
expansion splices.

Material & Finish

Installation Considerations
Weight
The weight of an aluminum cable tray is approximately half that of a comparable steel tray. Some factors to consider
include: shipping costs, material, handling, project weight restrictions and the strength of support members.

Field Modifications
Aluminum cable tray is easier to cut and drill than steel cable tray since it is a “softer” material. Similarly, galvanized
steel cable tray is easier to cut and drill than stainless steel cable tray. Cooper B-Line aluminum cable tray uses a four
bolt splice, resulting in half as much drilling and hardware installation as most steel cable tray, which uses an eight bolt
splice. Hot dip galvanized and painted steel cable tray finishes must be repaired when field cutting or drilling. Failure to
repair coatings will impair the cable tray’s corrosion resistance.

Availability
Aluminum, pre-galvanized, stainless steel and fiberglass cable tray can normally be shipped from the factory in a
short period of time. Hot dip galvanized and painted cable tray requires an additional coating process, adding several
days of preparation before final shipment. Typically, a coated cable tray will be sent to an outside source for coating,
requiring additional packing and shipping.

Minimum Cross-Sectional Area of
Metal* In Square Inches

Cable Tray Selection

The National Electrical Code, Article 392.7 allows
cable tray to be used as an equipment grounding
conductor. All Cooper B-Line standard steel and
aluminum cable trays are classified by Underwriter’s
Laboratories per NEC Table 392.7 based on their
cross-sectional area.
The corresponding cross-sectional area for each
side rail design (2 side rails) is listed on a fade
resistant UV stabilized label (see Figure 3). This cable
tray label is attached to each straight section and
fitting that is U.L. classified. U.L. assigned crosssectional area is also stated in the loading charts in
this catalog for each system.

For SI units: one square inch = 645 square millimeters.
* Total cross-sectional area of both side rails for ladder or trough-type cable trays; or the
minimum cross-sectional area of metal in channel-type cable trays or cable trays of
one- piece construction.
** Steel cable trays shall not be used as equipment grounding conductors for circuits with
ground-fault protection above 600 amperes. Aluminum cable trays shall not be used as
equipment grounding conductors for circuits with ground-fault protection above 2000
amperes.
For larger ampere ratings an additional grounding conductor must be used.

Wind loads need to be determined for all outdoor

ladder type trays, therefore the most severe loading to
be considered is impact pressure normal to the cable
tray side rails (see detail 1).

covered tray (see detail 2) creates a positive pressure
inside the tray and a negative pressure above the
cover. This pressure difference can lift the cover off

B-Line recommends the use of heavy duty wraparound cover clamps when covered trays are installed
in an area where strong winds occur.
Special Notice:
Covers on wide cable tray and/or cable tray installed at
elevations high off the ground may require additional
heavy duty clamps or thicker cover material.

Ice Loads
Glaze ice is the most commonly seen form of ice
build-up. It is the result of rain or drizzle freezing on
impact with an exposed object. Generally, only the
top surface (or the cover) and the windward side of a
cable tray system is significantly coated with ice. The
maximum design load to be added due to ice should
be calculated as follows:
x
LI = W TI

(

) x DI

where;

LI= Ice Load (lbs/linear foot)
W= Cable Tray Width (inches)
TI= Maximum Ice Thickness (inches)
DI= Ice Density = 57 lbs/ft3
the maximum ice thickness will vary depending on
location. A thickness of 1/2" can be used as a
conservative standard.

Strength

Environmental Loads

Support Span

Snow Loads

The strength of a cable tray is largely determined by
the strength of its side rails. The strength of a cable
tray side rail is proportionate to the distance between
the supports on which it is installed, commonly
referred to as the “support span”. Therefore, the
strength of a cable tray system can be altered by
changing the support span. However, there is a limit
to how much the strength of a cable tray system can
be increased by reducing the support span, because
the strength of the cable tray bottom members could
become the determining factor of strength.

Snow is measured by density and thickness. The
density of snow varies almost as much as its thickness.
The additional design load from snowfall should be
determined using the building codes which apply for
each installation.

Seismic Loads

Concentrated Loads
A concentrated static load represents a static
weight applied at a single point between the side
rails. Tap boxes, conduit attachments and long cable
drops are just some of the many types of concentrated loads. When so specified, these concentrated static
loads may be converted to an equivalent, uniform
load (We) by using the following formula:
We= 2 x (concentrated Static Load)
span length
Cooper B-Line’s cable tray side rails, rungs and
bottoms will withstand a 200 lb. static load without
collapse (series 14 excluded)*. However, it should be
noted that per NEMA Standard Publication VE1 cable
tray is designed as a support for power or control
cables, or both, and is not intended or designed to be
a walkway for personnel. Each section of Cooper
B-Line Cable Tray has a label stating the following
message:

Once the load requirement of a cable tray system
has been established, the following factors should be
considered:
1. Sometimes the location of existing structural beams
will dictate the cable tray support span. This is
typical with outdoor installations where adding
intermediate supports could be financially
prohibitive. For this situation the appropriate cable
tray must be selected to accommodate the existing
span.

Cable Tray Selection

A great deal of seismic testing and evaluation of
cable tray systems, and their supports, has been
performed. The conclusions reached from these
evaluations is that cable tray is stronger laterally than
vertically, since it acts as a truss in the lateral direction.
Other factors that contribute to the stability of cable
tray are the energy dissipating motion of the cables
within the tray, and the high degree of ductility of the
cable tray and the support material.
These factors, working in conjunction with a properly
designed cable tray system, should afford reasonable
assurance to withstand even strong motion
earthquakes.
When seismic bracing is required for a cable tray
system, it should be applied to the supports and not
the cable tray itself. Cooper B-Line’s “Seismic
Restraints” brochure provides OSHPD approved
methods of bracing cable tray supports using standard
Cooper B-Line products. Contact Cooper B-Line to
receive a copy of this brochure.

2. When cable tray supports are randomly located,
the added cost of a higher strength cable tray
system should be compared to the cost of
additional supports. Typically, adding supports is
more costly than installing a stronger series of cable
tray. The stronger cable tray series (e.g. from
75 lbs./ft. on 20’ span to 100 lbs./ft. on 20’ span)
will increase the price of the cable tray system
minimally, possibly less than $1/ft., with little or no
additional labor cost for installation. Alternately,
one extra support may cost $100.00 (material and
labor) for a simple trapeze. Future cable additions
or the capability of supporting equipment,
raceways for example, also favor stronger cable
tray systems. In summary, upgrading to a
stronger cable tray series is typically more costeffective than using the recommended additional
supports for a lighter duty cable tray series.
3. The support span lengths should be equal to or less
than unspliced straight section lengths, to ensure
that no more than one splice is placed between
supports as stated in the NEMA VE 2 Cable Tray
Installation Guideline.

Warning! Not to be used as a walkway,
ladder or support for personnel. To be used
only as a mechanical support for cables and
raceway.

Cable Tray Systems

Cable Tray Selection -

Strength

Deflection
Deflection in a cable tray system is primarily an
aesthetic consideration. When a cable tray system is
installed in a prominent location, a maximum simple
beam deflection of 1/200 of support span can be
used as a guideline to minimize visual deflection.
It is important at this point to mention that there are
two typical beam configurations, simple beam and
continuous beam, and to clarify the difference.

Cable Tray Selection

A good example of a simple beam is a single
straight section of cable tray supported, but not
fastened at either end. When the tray is loaded the
cable tray is allowed to flex. Simple beam analysis is
used almost universally for beam comparisons even
though it is seldom practical in the field installations.
The three most prominent reasons for using a simple
beam analysis are: calculations are simplified; it
represents the worst case loading; and testing is
simple and reliable. The published load data in the
Cooper B-Line cable tray catalog is based on the
simple beam analysis per NEMA & CSA Standards.

Simple Beam

1. Economic consideration must be considered when
addressing cable deflection criteria.
2. Deflection in a cable tray system can be reduced
by decreasing the support span, or by using a taller
or stronger cable tray.
3. When comparing cable trays of equivalent strength,
a steel cable tray will typically exhibit less deflection
than an aluminum cable tray since the modulus of
elasticity of steel is nearly three times that of
aluminum.
4. The location of splices in a continuous span will
affect the deflection of the cable tray system. The
splices should be located at points of minimum
stress whenever practical. NEMA Standards VE 1
limits the use of splice plates as follows:
Unspliced straight sections should be used on all
simple spans and on end spans of continuous span
runs. Straight section lengths should be equal to or
greater than the span length to ensure not more than
one splice between supports.
See the figures below for splicing configuration
samples.

Continuous beam is the beam configuration most
commonly used in cable tray installations. An example
of this configuration is where cable trays are installed
across several supports to form a number of spans.
The continuous beam possesses traits of both the
simple and fixed beams. When equal loads are applied
to all spans simultaneously, the counterbalancing effect
of the loads on both sides of a support restricts the
movement of the cable tray at the support. The effect
is similar to that of a fixed beam. The end spans
behave substantially like simple beams. When cable
trays of identical design are compared, the continuous
beam installation will typically have approximately half
the deflection of a simple beam of the same span.
Therefore simple beam data should be used only as a
general comparison. The following factors should be
considered when addressing cable tray deflection:

Cable Tray Selection -

Allowable Cable Fill

For allowable cable types see the Appendix page 364.
The following guidelines are based on the 2002 National Electrical Code, Article 392.

I) Number of Multiconductor Cables rated 2000 volts or less in the Cable Tray
(1) 4/0 or Larger Cables
The ladder cable tray must have an inside available width equal to or greater than the sum of the
diameters (Sd) of the cables, which must be installed in a single layer. When using solid bottom cable
tray, the sum of the cable diameters is not to exceed 90% of the available cable tray width.
Example: Cable Tray width is obtained as follows:
List
Cable Sizes

(D)
List Cable
Outside Diameter

(N)
List Number
of Cables

Multiply (D) x (N) = Subtotal
of the Sum of the
Cable Diameters

3/C - #500 kcmil
3/C - #250 kcmil
3/C - #4/0 AWG

2.26 inches
1.76 inches
1.55 inches

1
2
4

2.26 inches
3.52 inches
6.20 inches

The sum of the diameters (Sd) of all cables = 2.26 + 3.52 + 6.20 = 11.98 inches; therefore
a cable tray with an available width of at least 12 inches is required.

(2) Cables Smaller Than 4/0
The total sum of the cross-sectional areas of all
the cables to be installed in the cable tray must be
equal to or less than the allowable cable area for
the tray width, as indicated in Table 5.
When using solid bottom cable tray, the allowable
cable area is reduced by 22%.

The sum of the total areas is 1.67 + 1.52 + 2.58 + 7.20 = 12.97 inches.
Using Table 4, a 12-inch wide tray with an allowable cable area of 14 sq. inches should be used.
Note: Increasing the cable tray loading depth does not permit an increase in allowable cable area
for power and lighting cables. The maximum allowable cable area for all cable tray with a 3
inch or greater loading depth is limited to the allowable cable area for a 3 inch loading depth.

(3) 4/0 or Larger Cables Installed with Cables Smaller than 4/0
The ladder cable tray needs to be divided into two zones (a barrier or divider is not required but
one can be used if desired) so that the No. 4/0 and larger cables have a dedicated zone, as they
are to be placed in a single layer.

Allowable Cable Fill
A direct method to determine the correct cable tray width is to figure the cable tray widths required
for each of the cable combinations per steps (2) & (3).
Then add the widths in order to select the proper cable tray width.
Example: The cable tray width is obtained as follows:
Part A- Width required for #4/0 AWG and larger multiconductor cables
List
Cable Size

(D)
List Cable

(N)

1.67 sq. in.
3.44 sq. in.
1.60 sq. in.

The sum of the total areas (inches) = 1.67 + 3.44 + 1.60 = 6.71 sq. inches.
From Table 5 (page 33), the cable tray width required for small cables is 6 inches.
The total cable tray width (inches) = 5.36 + 6.00 = 11.36 inches. A 12-inch wide
cable tray is required.

(4) Multiconductor Control and/or Signal Cables Only
A ladder cable tray containing only control and/or signal cables, may have 50% of its total
available cable area filled with cable. When using solid bottom cable tray pans, the allowable
cable area is reduced from 50% to 40%.
Example: Cable tray width is obtained as follows:
2/C- #16 AWG instrumentation cable cross sectional area = 0.04 sq. in.
Total cross sectional area for 300 Cables = 12.00 sq. in.
Minimum available cable area needed = 12.00 x 2 = 24.00 sq. in.; therefore the cable tray
width required for 4 inch available loading depth tray = 24.00/4 = 6 inches.

II) Number of Single Conductor Cables Rated
2000 Volts or Less in the Cable Tray
All single conductor cables to be installed in the cable tray
must be 1/0 or larger, and are not to be installed with
continuous bottom pans.

(1) 1000 KCMIL or Larger Cables
The sum of the diameters (Sd) for all single conductor
cables to be installed shall not exceed the cable
tray width. See Table 6.

(2) 250 KCMIL to 1000 KCMIL Cables
The total sum of the cross-sectional areas of all the single conductor cables to be installed in the
cable tray must be equal to or less than the allowable cable area for the tray width, as indicated
in Table 6 (page 34). (Reference Table 8)

(3) 1000 KCMIL or Larger Cables Installed with
Cables Smaller Than 1000 KCMIL
The total sum of the cross-sectional areas of all
the single conductor cables to be installed in
the cable tray must be equal to or less than the
allowable cable area for the tray width, as
indicated in Table 7.

(4) Single Conductor Cables 1/0 through 4/0
These single conductors must be installed in a
single layer. See Table 8.

Cable Tray Selection

Note: It is the opinion of some that this practice may
cause problems with unbalanced voltages. To avoid
these potential problems, the individual conductors for this type of cable tray wiring system should
be bundled with ties. The bundle should contain all of the three-phase conductors for the circuit,
plus the neutral if used. The single conductor cables bundle should be firmly tied to the cable tray
assembly at least every 6 feet.

Barrier Requirements
Barrier strips are used to separate cable systems, such as when cables above and below 600 volts
per NEC 392.6(F) are installed in the same cable tray. However, when MC type cables rated
over 600 volts are installed in the same cable tray with cables rated 600 volts or less, no barriers
are required. The barriers should be made of the same material type as the cable tray.
When ordering the barrier, the height must match the loading depth of the cable tray into which
it is being installed.

Future Expansion Requirements
One of the many features of cable tray is the ease of adding cables to an existing system. Future
expansion should always be considered when selecting a cable tray, and allowance should be made
for additional fill area and load capacity. A minimum of 50% expansion allowance is recommended.

Space Limitations
Any obstacles which could interfere with a cable tray installation should be considered when selecting
a cable tray width and height. Adequate clearances should be allowed for installation of supports and
for cable accessibility.
Note: The overall cable tray dimensions typically exceed the nominal tray width and loading depth.

Length

Lengths Available
The current Cable Tray Standard, NEMA VE 1 and C22.2 No. 126.1-98, lists typical lengths as
3000 mm (10 ft), 3660 mm (12 ft), 6000 mm (20 ft), and 7320 mm (24 ft). It is impractical to
manufacture either lighter systems in the longer lengths or heavier systems in the shorter lengths.
For that reason, Cooper B-Line has introduced a primary and secondary length for each system.
These straight section lengths were selected to direct the user to lengths that best suit support span
demands and practical loading requirements. The primary length is the one that is the most
appropriate for the strength of the system and that will provide the fastest service levels. The
secondary lengths will be made available to service additional requirements. Special lengths are
available with extended lead times.
For additional information please review the information contained on the Cooper B-Line website at
www.cooperbline.com/product/CableTray/LengthSelection.asp.

Support Span
Per the NEMA VE 2, the support span on which a cable tray is installed should not exceed the
length of the unspliced straight section. Thus installations with support spans greater than 12 feet
should use 240" (20 feet) or 288" (24 feet) cable tray lengths.

Space Limitations
Cable Tray Selection

Consideration should be given to the space available for moving the cable tray from delivery to it’s
final installation location. Obviously, shorter cable tray allows for more maneuverability in tight
spaces.

Installation
Shorter cable tray lengths are typically easier to maneuver on the job site during installation. Two
people may be needed to manipulate longer cable tray sections, while shorter sections might be
handled by one person. Although longer cable tray lengths are more difficult to maneuver, they
can reduce installation time due to the fact that there are fewer splice connections. This trade-off
should be evaluated for each set of job site restrictions.

Loading
Possibilities

Power Application:
Power application can create the heaviest loading. The heaviest cable combination found was for large diameter
cables (i.e. steel armor, 600V, 4 conductor 750 kcmil). The cables weigh less than 3.8 lbs. per inch-width of
cable tray. As power cables are installed in a single layer, the width of the cable affects the possible loading.

Data/Communication Cabling:
Low voltage cables can be stacked as there is no heat generation problems. The NEC employs a calculation
of the total cross sectional area of the cables not exceeding 50% of the fill area of the cable tray. As the cable
fill area of the cable tray system affects the possible loading, both the loading depth and width of the systems
must be considered.
For this example 4UTP category 5 cable (O.D. = .21, .026 lbs./ft.) were used.

Cable Tray Selection

The picture shows a 12" cable tray with a 3" load depth. The tray contains
520 4 UTP Category 5 cables with a .21" diameter.
The National Electrical Code allows for 50% fill of ventilated and ladder
cable tray for control or signal wiring (Article 392.9(B)). ANSI/EIA/TIA
569-A Section 4.5* also requires that the fill ratio of cable tray is not to
exceed 50%.
Calculation
Example:

Tray Area = 12 in. x 3 in. = 36 sq. in.
50% Fill = 36 sq. in. x .5 = 18 sq. in.
Cable Area = (.21 in.)2 x 3.14/4 = .0346 sq. in.
Number of Cables = 18 sq. in. / .0346 sq. in. = 520 cables

*Section 4.5 is currently under review.

Other Factors To Consider
• Support Span - The distance between the supports
affects the loading capabilities exponentially. To
calculate loading values not cataloged use:

W1 L12 = W2 L22
W1 - tested loading
L1 - span in feet, a tested span
W2 - loading in question
L2 - known span for new loading

• Other Loads - Ice, wind, snow for outdoor systems see page 26 and 27 for information.
A 200 lb. concentrated load for industrial systems. The affect of a concentrated load can be calculated
as follows
2 x (concentrated static load)
span in feet
When considering concentrated loads the rung strength should be considered.
• Length Of The Straight Sections:
The VE 2, Cable Tray Installation Guide, states that the
support span shall not be greater than the straight section
length. If a 20C system is manufactured in 12 foot sections
the greatest span for supports would be 12 feet. This
dramatically affects the loading of the system.

W1 L12 = W2 L22
100 (202) = W2 (122)
40,000 = 144 W2
W2 = 277 lbs. per foot

Cable Tray Selection -

Bottom Type

Type of Cable
According to NEC Article 392, multiconductor tray cable may be installed in any standard cable tray
bottom type. According to the 2005 NEC Article 392.11(8)(3), single conductor tray cable may be
installed in any standard cable tray bottom type. Solid bottom cable trays are not allowed to be
installed in Class II, Division 2 locations (2002 NEC Section 502.4(B) ). In general, small, highly
flexible cables should be installed in solid bottom, vented bottom or 6" rung spacing ladder type cable
trays. Sensitive cables (e.g. fiberoptic) are typically installed in flat, solid bottom cable trays, instead
of corrugated trough bottoms. Larger, less flexible cables are typically installed in ladder type cable
trays having 9" or 12" rung spacing. Ladder type cable trays having 18" rung spacing should be
used for large, stiff cables to reduce cost and facilitate cable drop-outs.

Cost vs Strength
Often more than one bottom type is acceptable. In this case the economic difference should
be considered. Ladder cable trays have a lower cost than either non-ventilated or ventilated bottom
configurations. Typically, the cost of ladder type cable tray decreases as rung spacing increases.
However, the effect of rung spacing on load capacity for ladder type cable trays with 18" rung
spacing should be evaluated, since NEMA published load capacities are based on 12" rung spacing.
Rung spacing can affect individual rung and side rail loading as well as system load capacity. Rung
loads applied during cable installation should also be considered. (See page 29 for Cooper
B-Line rung load capacities)

Cable Exposure
Cable Tray Selection

Tray cables are manufactured to withstand the environment without additional protection, favoring
the use of the ladder type cable tray. Some areas may benefit from the limited exposure of solid or
vented bottom cable tray. Solid Bottom metal cable tray with solid metal covers can be utilized in
other spaces used for environmental air to support non plenum rated tray cables (2002 NEC®
300.22(C)(1) )

Cable Attachment
The major advantage of ladder type cable tray is the freedom of entry and exit of the cables. Another
advantage of ladder type cable tray is the ability to secure cables in the cable tray. With standard
rungs the cables may be attached with either cable ties or cable clamps. The ladder type cable tray is
also available with special purpose, slotted marine or strut rungs to facilitate banding or clamping
cables. Cable attachment is particularly important on vertical runs or when the tray is installed on its
side. Ladder rung spacing should be chosen to provide adequate cable attachment points while
allowing the cables to exit the system.

Cable Tray Selection -

Fitting Radius

Cable Flexibility
The proper bend radius for cable tray fittings is usually determined by the bend radius and stiffness of
the tray cables to be installed. Typically, the tray cable manufacturer will recommend a minimum
bend allowance for each cable. The fitting radius should be equal to or larger than the minimum
bend radius of the largest cable which may ever be installed in the system. When several cables are
to be installed in the same cable tray, a larger bend radius may be desirable to ease cable installation.

Space Limitations
The overall dimensions for a cable tray fitting will increase as the bend radius increases. Size and
cost make the smallest acceptable fitting radius most desirable. When large radius fittings are
required, the system layout must be designed to allow adequate space.

Flextray

Flextray is a flexible, field-adaptable way to manage cables throughout your project. The tray itself can be cut
and bent to the needs of the installer on the jobsite, allowing cable runs to be adjusted as needed. The wide
range of sizes offered by Cooper B-Line makes Flextray a great choice for everything from a small cable drop
to a large trunk of cables. Our tray has the market-preferred "T" weld safety edge, protecting both the cable
and the installer during cable installation. Flextray is also UL Classified as an equipment grounding conductor.
The F.A.S.T. System is Foldable, Adjustable, Stackable, and Tool-less, providing many options to manage
cables inside your raised floor space. With only a few parts, you can create everything from a basic single
layer installation to a cantilevered, multiple-tier cable run. Make the most of your raised floor space and your
time with the F.A.S.T. System!

* Published load chart has not been tested with Flexmate splice. Please consult the factory for load information when using the

Flexmate option.
** Flextray fill capacity is based on NEC allowable fill of 50%. The NEC rule requires that the cable cross-sectional areas together

may not exceed 50% of the tray area (width x depth = fill). Cables will nearly completely fill the cable tray when reaching the
50% cable fill, due to empty space between the surface of the cables. TIA recommends 40% fill ratio. Flextray loads shown in
the loading chart will not be exceeded at 50% fill.
*** CAT 5e 4-pr non-plenum approximated at .21 in. diameter, CAT 6 4-pr non-plenum approximated at .25 in. diameter. Actual

diameters vary by cable manufacturer.

For the best results, use a WB30BC Angular Blade Offset
Bolt Cutter with 24" (600 mm) long handles. The Offset
Blade Cutter produces a clean cut. Position bolt cutter
blades near the cross wire and perpendicular to wire to
be cut (see illustration above). Proper cut will make the

How The Service Advisor Works
B-Line knows that your time is important! That’s why the color-coding system in this catalog is designed to help you
select products that fit your service needs. Products are marked to indicate the typical lead time for orders of 50
pieces or less.
Customer: How do I select my cable channel product so that I get the quickest turnaround?

Cable Channel

Service Advisor: Each part of our selection chart is shown in colors. If any section of a part number is a different
color, the part will typically ship with the longer lead time represented by the colors.
Green = Fastest shipped items (normally 3 to 5 working days)
Black = Normal lead-time items (normally 5 to 10 working days)
Red = Normally long lead-time items (15 working days minimum)

Part will typically ship in 5-10 days,
because of the 03 width.

3-5

Changing the part number to 04 width instead of 03 will change the coding to green for all sections
of the straight section, therefore, the lead time will typically be 3-5 working days, instead of the original 5-10.

How The Service Advisor Works
B-Line knows that your time is important! That’s why the color-coding system in this catalog is designed to help you
select products that fit your service needs. Products are marked to indicate the typical lead time for orders of 50
pieces or less.
Customer: How do I select my straight sections. covers, or fittings so that I get the quickest turnaround?
Service Advisor: Each part of our selection chart is shown in colors. If any section of a part number is a different
color, the part will typically ship with the longer lead time represented by the colors.
Green = Fastest shipped items (normally 3 to 5 working days)
Black = Normal lead-time items (normally 5 to 10 working days)
Red = Normally long lead-time items (15 working days minimum)

Example:

Cable Tray Systems

Cent-R-Rail® Sizing Guide
The following guidelines are based on the 1999 National Electrical Code, Article 318.
Cent-R-Rail

I) Number of Multiconductor Cables, Rated 2000 Volts or Less,
in Data-Track® and Half-Rack® (Excluding Straight Rung)
(1) Multiconductor Control and/or Signal Cables Only
A ladder cable tray containing only control and/or signal cables, may have 50% of its total fill area
filled with cable. When using continuous bottom pans, the allowable fill is reduced from 50% to 40%.
Example: Cable tray width is obtained as follows:
2/C - #16 AWG instrumentation cable cross sectional area = 0.04 sq. in.
Total Cross Sectional Area for 300 Cables = 12.00 sq. in.
Minimum tray fill area needed = 12.00 x 2 = 24.00 sq. in.; therefore, the tray
width required for 4" loading depth tray = 24.00/4 = 6 inches.

(2) 4/0 or Larger Cables
The ladder cable tray must have an inside usable width equal to or greater than the sum of the
diameters (Sd) of the cables, which must be installed in a single layer. When using continuous
bottom pans, the sum of the cable diameters can not exceed 90% of the usable tray width.
Example: Cable tray width is obtained as follows:

List
Cable Sizes

(D)
List Cable
Outside

(N)
List
Number

Multiply (D) x (N)
= Subtotal of the
Sum of the Cable

2.26 inches
1.76 inches
1.55 inches

1
2
4

2.26 inches
3.52 inches
6.20 inches

The sum of the diameters (Sd) of all cables = 2.26 + 3.52 + 6.20 = 11.98 inches; therefore, a
cable tray with a usable width of at least 12 inches is required.

(3) Cables Smaller Than 4/0

Table 1

The total sum of the cross-sectional areas of all the cables to be
installed in the cable tray must be equal to or less than the allowable cable
area for the tray width, as indicated in Table 1. When using
continuous bottom pans, the allowable cable area is reduced by 22%.
Example: Cable tray width is obtained as follows:

List

The sum of the totals of the cross-sectional areas = 1.67 + 1.52 + 2.58 + 7.20 = 12.97 inches.
Using Table 1, a 12 inch wide tray with an allowable cable area of 14 sq. inches should be used.
Note:

Increasing the cable tray loading depth does not permit an increase in cable fill area for
power and lighting cables. The maximum allowable fill area for all cable tray with a 3 inch
or greater loading depth is limited to the fill area for a 3 inch loading depth.

Cent-R-Rail® Sizing Guide
(4) 4/0 or Larger Cables Installed with Cables Smaller than 4/0
Cent-R-Rail

The ladder cable tray needs to be divided into two zones (a barrier or divider is not required, but one
can be used if desired) so that the No. 4/0 and larger cables have a dedicated zone, as they must be
placed in a single layer.
A direct method for determining the cable tray width is by figuring the cable tray widths that are required
for each of the cable combinations, per steps (2) & (3); and then adding these widths together to select
the proper cable tray width.
Example: Cable tray width is obtained as follows:
Part A- Width required for #4/0 AWG and larger multiconductor cables

Cable tray width required for large cables = 2.26 + 3.10 = 5.36 inches.

1.67 sq. in.
3.44 sq. in.
1.60 sq. in.

The sum of the total areas = 1.67 + 3.44 + 1.60 = 6.71 sq. inches.
From Table 1, the cable tray width required for small cables is 6 inches.
The total cable tray width = 5.36 + 6.00 = 11.36 inches; therefore a 12 inch wide
cable tray is required.

II) Number of Single Conductor Cables, Rated 2000 Volts or Less,
in DATA-TRACK® and HALF-RACK® (Excluding Straight Rung)
Single conductor cables installed in cable tray must be 1/0 or larger, and they can not be installed
with continuous bottom pans.

(1) 1000 KCMIL or Larger Cables
The sum of the diameters (Sd) of all single conductor cables shall not
exceed the cable tray width. See Table 3, page 129.

(2) 250 KCMIL to 1000 KCMIL Cables
The total sum of the cross-sectional areas of all the cables to
be installed in the cable tray must be equal to or less than the
allowable cable area for the tray width, as indicated in Table 2.

(3) Cables 1/0 through 4/0
Cent-R-Rail

These conductors must be installed in a single layer. See Table 3.
Note: It is the opinion of some that this practice may cause problems with unbalanced voltages.
To avoid these potential problems, the cables for this type of cable tray wiring system should
be bundled with ties. The bundle should contain the circuit’s three phase conductors plus the
neutral, if one is used. The single conductor cables should be firmly tied to the cable trays
at intervals not greater than 6 feet.

III) Sizing VertI-Rack® and Multi-Tier Half-Rack®
Due to the unique nature of multiple-tier cable trays, there are no existing guidelines for sizing these
types of cable trays. However, the following tables are provided to assist you in comparing the usable
widths and fill areas for the different Cent-R-Rail® trays available.

Do Not Use As A Walkway, Ladder,
Or Support For Personnel.

Use Only As A Mechanical Support For Cables, Tubing and Raceways.

Center Rail Deflection Multiplier* 0.0012 0.0025 0.0079 0.0192 0.0397

* Deflection multipliers are given for English units. To determine deflection in millimeters, first calculate
deflection in inches and then multiply by 25.4.
To calculate the center rail simple beam deflection at mid span in inches for a specific support span (ft), multiply
the “center rail deflection multiplier” for that span by the load in lbs/ft that will be installed in the cable tray.
Example: The center rail deflection for 50 lbs/ft supported every 12 ft = 50 x .0397 = 2.0 inches.
Note: When trays are used in continuous spans, the deflection is reduced by as much as 50%.
To calculate the rung deflection in inches for a specific tray width (in.) and rung spacing (in.), multiply the rung
deflection multiplier for that width and rung spacing by the load in lbs/ft that will be installed in the cable tray.
Example: The rung deflection for 50 lbs/ft in a 12" wide tray with 9" rung spacing = 50 x .0002 = .01 inches.
Note: The rung deflection multiplier is based on a uniformly distributed load.

ceiling through splice holes or use “U”
brackets (pg. 151).

• Vertical offsets can be easily
field fabricated by attaching
two trays to the same ATR

Appendix

Cable Tray Fill
Cent-R-Rail

The National Electrical Code allows for 50% fill of ventilated cable tray for control or signal wiring
(Article 318-9(b)). This rule requires that all the individual cable cross-sectional areas added up may
not exceed one half the cable tray area. The cable tray area is equal to the width times the load depth.
In actual practice with Category 5 cables, however, the cable tray is completely full in order to reach
the “50% cable fill”. See the picture below. The tray is completely full, but the sum of the cable area
is only 50% of the tray area, due to the empty spaces between the cables.

Picture shows 12" wide Cent-R-Rail cable tray with 3" load depth.
The tray contains 520 4 UTP Category 5 cables (.21" OD).

This being the case, there is a practical limit to the amount of cables that can be installed in the
tray, based on the trays’ width and load depth. The following chart shows the approximate cable
weight that can be installed without exceeding the 50% fill rule:

This chart was based on 50% fill of 4 UTP Category 5 cable (O.D. = .21", .026 lbs/ft).
This is not a maximum load rating for the tray, rather a practical guide to the amount of cable weight
that can realistically be installed.
For analysis purposes, the loads are separated into 2 groups: less than 25 lbs/ft, and greater than
25 lbs/ft. These groups will be used in the eccentric load study on the following pages.

Unbalanced Loading - The Study
Cent-R-Rail

To better understand uneven loading on center rail
systems, Cooper B-Line® ran a series of tests on Data-Track®.
Tests were performed with supports on twelve foot
centers using 1/2" threaded rod. The maximum allowable
tilt was set at six degrees. This angle was chosen purely
for aesthetic reasons. It is nowhere near structural failure,
but the point at which it started to look unacceptable.

6°

Center rail systems can be supported using different processes. For B-Line’s study, the
following four were used:

As a reminder, failure was defined as a 6° horizontal tilt. The supports were on 12 ft centers and the
ATR drops were 6 ft. Cable loading was estimated for category 5 cable weighing .021 lbs/ft with a
cross-sectional area of .0492 square inches. This information should be beneficial when considering
eccentric loading and center rail systems.
*Defined as percentage of total cable load allowed on one side of the tray.

How The Service Advisor Works
B-Line knows that your time is important! That’s why the color-coding system in this catalog is designed to help you
select products that fit your service needs. Products are marked to indicate the typical lead time for orders of 50
pieces or less.
Customer: How do I select my straight sections. covers, or fittings so that I get the quickest turnaround?
Service Advisor: Each part of our selection chart is shown in colors. If any section of a part number is a different
color, the part will typically ship with the longer lead time represented by the colors.
Green = Fastest shipped items (normally 3 to 5 working days)
Black = Normal lead-time items (normally 5 to 10 working days)

Values are based on simple beam tests per VE-1 on 36" wide cable tray with rungs spaced on 12" centers. The published load safety factor is
1.5. To convert 1.5 safety factor to 2.0, multiply the published load by 0.75. To obtain mid-span deflection, multiply a load by the deflection
multiplier. Cable tray must be supported on spans shorter than or equal to the length of the tray. These systems will support without collapse a
200 lb. concentrated load.

Flex-Mount Splice Rung Kit
• Kit allows a support rung to be added to flex-mount splice
plates so that cables may be supported through a bend.
• The support rung is available in three lengths
and should be ordered based upon tray width.
• The rung length is sized so that it will fit a maximum tray width
when flex-mount splices are used to make a bend up to 90°.
• Once the flex-mount splices are installed in the cable tray system,
the distance between the splice mounting surfaces should be measured.
Cut support rung to the measured distance and install using the
hardware included. Torque to 18 ft./lbs.

Data Cables
The National Electrical Code allows for 50% fill of ventilated cable tray for control or signal wiring (Article 392-9(b)). This rule requires that all the
individual cable cross-sectional areas added up may not exceed one half the cable tray area. The cable tray area is equal to the width times the
load depth.
In actual practice with data cables, however, the cable tray becomes completely full in reaching the "50% cable fill". See the picture below. The
tray is completely full, but the sum of the cable areas is only 50% of the tray area, due to the empty spaces between the cables.

This chart was based on 50% fill of 4 UTP Category 5, 5e, or 6 cables (O.D. = .21" .026 lbs/ft).
In the above loading grid, the weight of the cables is not the issue. The volume capacity of the tray governs.
For example, the worst case (6" load depth, 36" wide) has a total cable weight of 81 lbs/ft.

How The Service Advisor Works
B-Line knows that your time is important! That’s why the color-coding system in this catalog is designed to help you
select products that fit your service needs. Products are marked to indicate the typical lead time for orders of 50
pieces or less.
Customer: How do I select my straight sections. covers, or fittings so that I get the quickest turnaround?
Service Advisor: Each part of our selection chart is shown in colors. If any section of a part number is a different
color, the part will typically ship with the longer lead time represented by the colors.
Green = Fastest shipped items (normally 3 to 5 working days)
Black = Normal lead-time items (normally 5 to 10 working days)
Red = Normally long lead-time items (15 working days minimum)

Covers
Solid covers should be used when maximum enclosure of the
cables is desired and no accumulation of heat is expected.
Ventilated covers provide an overhead cable shield yet
allow heat to escape.
Cooper B-Line recommends that covers on vertical
cable tray runs to a height of 6 ft. (1.83 m) to 8 ft.
(2.44 m) above the floor to isolate both cables
and personnel. Flanged covers have a .30 in.
(7.6 mm) flange. Cover clamps are not included

Vertical Bend Segments (VBS)
Adjustable Vertical Bends are made up of one or
more vertical bend segments and can be used as a
vertical inside (VI) or vertical outside (VO) bend. This
design provides for vertical changes in direction with angles
of 45˚, 60˚ and 90˚ for 12" (305 mm) or 24" (609 mm) radius.
The chart below shows the number of segments required for
the various combinations of angles and radii. The VBS-1, VBS-2
and VBS-3 include one, two or three segments respectively with
splice plates and hardware. Holes for setting standard angles are
pre-punched in each segment. Other angles can be set by field
drilling another hole for the locking bolt.

Available for 148P and 148G only.

Setting the Angle
To find correct angle setting, divide angle of offset by
the number of segments plus one. The result is equal
to the angle setting stamped on the vertical bend segment and the splice plate. After inserting center pivot
bolt, align the mark at the end of the segment or
splice plate with the angle and insert locking bolt in
the pre-punched hole.
Example: 90˚ bend, 24" radius requires 3 segments
3 segments + 1 = 4
90˚ divided by 4 = 221/2˚
Set all vertical segments at 221/2˚

How The Service Advisor Works
B-Line knows that your time is important! That’s why the color-coding system in this catalog is designed to help you
select products that fit your service needs. Products are marked to indicate the typical lead time for orders of 50
pieces or less.
Customer: How do I select my straight sections. covers, or fittings so that I get the quickest turnaround?
Customer: How do I select my straight sections. covers, or fittings so that I get the quickest turnaround?
Service Advisor: Each part of our selection chart is shown in colors. If any section of a part number is a different
color, the part will typically ship with the longer lead time represented by the colors.
Green = Fastest shipped items (normally 3 to 5 working days)
Black = Normal lead-time items (normally 5 to 10 working days)
Red = Normally long lead-time items (15 working days minimum)

Cable Tray Systems

Series 2, 3, 4, & 5 Aluminum - Straight Sections
3" NEMA VE 1 Loading Depth
4" Side Rail Height
Values are based on simple beam tests per NEMA VE 1 on 36" wide cable tray with rungs spaced on 12" centers. Cable trays will
support without collapse a 200 lb. (90.7 kg) concentrated load over and above published loads. Published load safety factor is 1.5.
To convert 1.5 safety factor to 2.0, multiply the published load by 0.75. To obtain mid-span deflection, multiply a load by the deflection
multiplier. Cable tray must be supported on spans shorter than or equal to the length of the cable tray being installed.
Individual rungs will support without collapse a 200 lb. (90.7 kg) concentrated load applied at the mid-span of the rung, over and
above the NEMA rated cable load with a 1.5 safety factor for highlighted NEMA spans and loads. See table on page 361 for rung
capacities.

* Alternated rung
unless indicated.

Values are based on simple beam tests per NEMA VE 1 on 36" wide cable tray with rungs spaced on 12" centers. Cable trays will
support without collapse a 200 lb. (90.7 kg) concentrated load over and above published loads. Published load safety factor is 1.5.
To convert 1.5 safety factor to 2.0, multiply the published load by 0.75. To obtain mid-span deflection, multiply a load by the
deflection multiplier. Cable tray must be supported on spans shorter than or equal to the length of the cable tray being installed.
Individual rungs will support without collapse a 200 lb. (90.7 kg) concentrated load applied at the mid-span of the rung, over and
above the NEMA rated cable load with a 1.5 safety factor for highlighted NEMA spans and loads. See table on page 361 for rung
capacities.

Peaked Flanged

A full range of covers is available for straight sections and fittings.
Solid covers should be used when maximum enclosure of the cable is desired and no accumulation of heat is expected.
Ventilated covers provide an overhead cable shield, yet allow heat to escape.
Cooper B-Line recommends that covers be placed on vertical cable tray runs to a height of 6 ft. (1.83 m) to 8 ft. (2.44 m) above
the floor to isolate both cables and personnel. Flanged covers have a 1/2 in. (13 mm) flange. Cover clamps are not included with the
cover and must be ordered separately. All peaked covers are flanged. Standard peaked covers have 1/2" peak. Special purpose peaked
covers, having a 2 to 3 pitch, provide additional slope and material thickness. The 2 to 3 pitch fitting covers are of multiple piece, welded
construction.

How The Service Advisor Works
B-Line knows that your time is important! That’s why the color-coding system in this catalog is designed to help you
select products that fit your service needs. Products are marked to indicate the typical lead time for orders of 50
pieces or less.
Customer: How do I select my straight sections. covers, or fittings so that I get the quickest turnaround?

Example:

258G

Series 2, 3, 4, & 5 Steel

Service Advisor: Each part of our selection chart is shown in colors. If any section of a part number is a different
color, the part will typically ship with the longer lead time represented by the colors.
Green = Fastest shipped items (normally 3 to 5 working days)
Black = Normal lead-time items (normally 5 to 10 working days)
Red = Normally long lead-time items (15 working days minimum)

Part will typically ship in
15 days minimum, because of the
258G material.

Changing the part number from 258G to 258P will change the coding to black for all sections
of the tray to be 5-10 working days, instead of the original 15 days minimum.

Values are based on simple beam tests per NEMA VE 1 on 36" wide cable tray with rungs spaced on 12" centers. Cable trays will
support without collapse a 200 lb. (90.7 kg) concentrated load over and above published loads. Published load safety factor is 1.5.
To convert 1.5 safety factor to 2.0, multiply publish load by 0.75. To obtain mid-span deflection, multiply a load by the deflection
multiplier. Cable tray must be supported on spans shorter than or equal to the length of the cable tray being installed.
Individual rungs will support without collapse a 200 lb. (90.7 kg) concentrated load applied at the mid-span of the rung, over and
above the NEMA rated cable load with a 1.5 safety factor for highlighted NEMA spans and loads. See table on page 361 for rung

Values are based on simple beam tests per NEMA VE 1 on 36" wide cable tray with rungs spaced on 12" centers. Cable trays will
support without collapse a 200 lb. (90.7 kg) concentrated load over and above published loads. Published load safety factor is 1.5.
To convert 1.5 safety factor to 2.0, multiply published load by 0.75. To obtain mid-span deflection, multiply a load by the deflection
multiplier. Cable tray must be supported on spans shorter than or equal to the length of the cable tray being installed.
Individual rungs will support without collapse a 200 lb. (90.7 kg) concentrated load applied at the mid-span of the rung, over and
above the NEMA rated cable load with a 1.5 safety factor for highlighted NEMA spans and loads. See table on page 361 for rung
capacities.

Covers

Solid Flanged

Solid Non-Flanged

Ventilated Flanged

Peaked Flanged

2 to 3 Pitch Peaked Flanged
(See page 358)

A full range of covers is available for straight sections and fittings.
Solid covers should be used when maximum enclosure of the cable is desired and no accumulation of heat is expected.
Ventilated covers provide an overhead cable shield yet allow heat to escape.
Cooper B-Line recommends that covers be placed on vertical cable tray runs to a height of 6 ft. (1.83 m) to 8 ft. (2.44 m) above
the floor to isolate both cables and personnel. Flanged covers have a 1/2 in. (13 mm) flange. Cover clamps are not included with the
cover and must be ordered separately. All peaked covers are flanged. Standard peaked covers have 1/2” peak. Special purpose peaked
covers, having a 2 to 3 pitch, provide additional slope and material thickness. The 2 to 3 pitch fitting covers are of multiple piece, welded
construction.

How The Service Advisor Works
B-Line knows that your time is important! That’s why the color-coding system in this catalog is designed to help you
select products that fit your service needs. Products are marked to indicate the typical lead time for orders of 50
pieces or less.
Customer: How do I select my straight sections. covers, or fittings so that I get the quickest turnaround?
Service Advisor: Each part of our selection chart is shown in colors. If any section of a part number is a different
color, the part will typically ship with the longer lead time represented by the colors.
Green = Fastest shipped items (normally 3 to 5 working days)
Black = Normal lead-time items (normally 5 to 10 working days)
Red = Normally long lead-time items (15 working days minimum)

support without collapse a 200 lb. (90.7 kg) concentrated load over and above published loads. Published load safety factor is
1.5. To convert 1.5 safety factor to 2.0, multiply published load by 0.75. To obtain mid-span deflection, multiply a load by the
deflection multiplier. Cable tray must be supported on spans shorter than or equal to the length of the cable being installed.

Peaked Flanged

Ventilated Flanged

Solid Flanged

A full range of covers is available for straight sections and fittings.
Solid covers should be used when maximum enclosure of the cable is desired and no accumulation of heat is expected.
Ventilated covers provide an overhead cable shield yet allow heat to escape.
Cooper B-Line recommends that covers be placed on vertical cable tray runs to a height of 6 ft. (1.83 m) to 8 ft. (2.44 m) above
the floor to isolate both cables and personnel. Flanged covers have a 1/2 in. (13 mm) flange. Cover clamps are not included with the
cover and must be ordered separately. All peaked covers are flanged. Standard peaked covers have 1/2" peak. Special purpose peaked
covers, having a 2 to 3 pitch, provide additional slope and material thickness. The 2 to 3 pitch fitting covers are of multiple piece, welded
construction.

How The Service Advisor Works
B-Line knows that your time is important! That’s why the color-coding system in this catalog is designed to help you
select products that fit your service needs. Products are marked to indicate the typical lead time for orders of 50
pieces or less.
Customer: How do I select my fittings so that I get the quickest turnaround?
Service Advisor: Each part of our selection chart is shown in colors. If any section of a part number is a different
color, the part will typically ship with the longer lead time represented by the colors.
Green = Fastest shipped items (normally 3 to 5 working days)
Black = Normal lead-time items (normally 5 to 10 working days)
Red = Normally long lead-time items (15 working days minimum)

Lead time(days)

Part will typically ship in
15 days minimum, because of the
G material.

Changing the part number from G to A or P will change the coding to black for all sections
of the tray to be 5-10 working days, instead of the original 15 days minimum.

How The Service Advisor Works
B-Line knows that your time is important! That’s why the color-coding system in this catalog is designed to help you
select products that fit your service needs. Products are marked to indicate the typical lead time for orders of 50
pieces or less.
Customer: How do I select my straight sections. covers, or fittings so that I get the quickest turnaround?
Service Advisor: Each part of our selection chart is shown in colors. If any section of a part number is a different
color, the part will typically ship with the longer lead time represented by the colors.
Green = Fastest shipped items (normally 3 to 5 working days)
Black = Normal lead-time items (normally 5 to 10 working days)
Red = Normally long lead-time items (15 working days minimum)

Example:

Lead time(days)

Part will typically ship in
15 days minimum, because of the
FT material.

Changing the part number from 13FT to 13F will change the coding to black for all sections
of the tray to be 5-10 working days, instead of the original 15 days.

Technical Data

Corrosion Guide
The information shown in this corrosion guide is based on full immersion laboratory tests and data generated from resin manufacturer's
data. It should be noted that in some of the environments listed, splashes and spill situations may result in a more corrosive situation than
indicated due to the evaporation of water. Regular wash down is recommended in these situations.
All data represents the best available information and is believed to be correct. The data should not be construed as a warranty of
performance for that product as presented in these tables. User tests should be performed to determine suitability of service if there is any
doubt or concern. Such variables as concentration, temperature, time and combined chemical effects of mixtures of chemicals make it
impossible to specify the exact suitability of fiber reinforced plastics in all environments. Cooper B-Line will be happy to supply material
samples for testing. These recommendations should only be used as a guide and Cooper B-Line does not take responsibility for design or
suitability of materials for service intended. In no event will Cooper B-Line be liable for any consequential or special damages for any
defective material or workmanship including without limitation, labor charge, other expense or damage to properties resulting from loss of
materials or profits or increased expenses of operations.

Technical Data

Structural Characteristics of Cable Tray and Supports
When viewed in its installed condition, any
cable tray system performs functionally as
a beam under a uniformly distributed load.
There are four basic beam configurations
typically found in a cable tray installation.
All four types of beams support cable tray
but each differ in the way that the beam is
attached to the support.
The first two beam configurations, simple
and continuous, apply to the cable tray itself.
The second two beam configurations,
cantilever and fixed, apply more to the cable
tray supports than to the cable tray itself.
Simple Beam
A good example of simple beam is a single
straight section of cable tray supported but
not fastened at either end. When the tray is
loaded the cable tray is allowed to deflect.

the cantilever beam will hold considerably
less load than a comparable simple beam.

Fixed Beam
A fixed beam configuration has both ends of
the beam rigidly attached to the supports. A
good example of a fixed beam is the rung of
a cable tray. By attaching the ends of the
rung to the side rails, the ends are not free
to move, bend or twist. This restriction in
end movement effectively increases the load
carrying capacity of the member.
Fixed beam configurations are also typically
found in strut rack type support systems.
These types of racks are found extensively
in tunnel applications for support of pipe
and cable tray.

Cantilever Beam
A cantilever beam configuration occurs when
one end of the beam is rigidly attached to the
support and the other end is unsupported.
This type of configuration is typically used
when wall mounting a bracket to support
cable tray. Since one end is unsupported,

Fiberglass

Simply beam analysis is used almost
universally for beam comparisons even
though it is seldom practical in field
installations. The three most prominent
reasons for using a simple beam analysis
are: calculations are simplified; it represents
the worst case loading; and testing is simple
and reliable. The published load data in the
B-Line cable tray catalog is based on the
simple beam analysis per NEMA Standard
FG-1.

Continuous Beam
Continuous beam is the beam configuration
most commonly used in cable tray
installations. An example of this configuration
is where cable trays are installed across
several supports to form a number of spans.
The continuous beam possesses traits of both
the simple and fixed beams.
When equal loads are applied to all spans
simultaneously, the counterbalancing effect
of the loads on both sides of a support
restricts the movement of the cable tray at
the support. The effect is similar to that of
a fixed beam. The end spans behave
substantially like simple beams. When cable
trays of identical design are compared,
continuous beam installations will typically
have approximately half the deflection of a
simple beam of the same span. Therefore,
simple beam data should be used for a
general comparison only.

Technical Data

Structural Characteristics of Cable Tray and Supports
Cable Loads
The cable load is simply the total weight of all
the cables to be placed in the tray. This load
should be expressed in lbs./ft.
Concentrated Loads
A concentrated static load represents a static
weight applied between the side rails. Tap
boxes, conduit attachments and long cable
drops are just some of the many types of
concentrated loads. When so specified, these
concentrated static loads may be converted to
an equivalent, uniform load (We) in pounds
per linear foot by using the following formula:
2x (concentrated static load)
We: =
span length (ft.)

Fiberglass

Wind Loads
Wind loads need to be determined for all
outdoor cable tray installations. Most outdoor
cable trays are ladder type trays, therefore the
most severe loading to be considered is

Detail 1

pressure on the tray side rails (see Detail 1).
When covers are installed on outdoor cable
trays, another factor to be considered is the
aerodynamic effect which can produce a lift
strong enough to separate a cover from a
tray. Wind moving across a covered tray (see
Detail 2) creates a positive pressure inside the
tray and a negative pressure above the cover.
This pressure difference can lift the cover off
the tray.

Detail 2

B-Line recommends the use of heavy duty
wrap-around cover clamps when covered
trays are installed in an area where strong
winds occur.
Ice Loads
Glaze ice is the most commonly seen form of
ice build-up. It is the result of rain or drizzle
freezing on impact with an exposed object.
Generally, only the top surface (or the cover)
and the windward side of a cable tray system
is significantly coated with ice. The maximum
design load to be added due to ice should be
determined from local and federal weather
bureau information.

Snow Loads
Snow is measured by density and thickness.
The density of snow varies almost as much as
its thickness. The additional design load from
snowfall should be determined using local
snowfall records which can be obtained from
local and federal weather bureaus.
Seismic Loads
In recent years a great deal of testing and
evaluation of cable tray systems, and their
supports, has been performed. The
conclusions reached from these evaluations
have shown the cable tray/strut support
system exhibited more seismic capacity than
originally expected. One of the factors
contributing to this is the energy dissipating
motion of the cables within the tray. Another
factor is the high degree of ductility of the
cable tray and the support material. These
factors, working in conjunction with a
properly designed cable tray system, should
afford reasonable assurance to withstand even
strong motion earthquakes. Please consult the
factory with your specific seismic
specifications and request a seismic brochure.
Splices
A lot of attention has been given to the
strength of the side rails. These load bearing
side rails must be spliced to form a continuous
system, therefore the design of the splice
plate is very important. The splice plate needs
to be both strong and simple to install. These
characteristics have been designed into
B-Line’s splice plates.
B-Line’s new high strength “L" shaped
LAY-IN splice plate offers several advantages:
1) stronger than flat plate splices.
2) time saving - holds tray in position before
fasteners are inserted.
3) provides base for an expansion splice to
function - no vertical binding.
4) discourages splice on support-positioning,
over the support is the worst place to
splice - Fig 3.
The location of splices in a continuous span
cable tray system is also very important. The
splices should be located at points of
minimum stress whenever practical. NEMA
standards FG-1 limits the use of splice plates
as follows:
Unspliced straight sections
should be used on a simple span
and on end spans of continuous
runs. Straight section lengths
should be equal to or greater
than the span length to ensure
not more than one splice
between supports. See Figures 1
through 3 for examples on
splicing configurations.

Typical Cable Tray Installation

The cable tray should be anchored at
the support nearest to its midpoint
between the expansion splice plates
and secured by expansion guides at all
other support locations (see Figure 1 Typical Cable Tray Installation). The
cable tray should be permitted
longitudinal movement in both
directions from that fixed point.

Technical Data

Cable Tray Installation Guide
Installation of B-Line fiberglass cable tray should be made in accordance with the standards set by NEMA
Publication VE-2, Cable Tray Installation Guide, and National Electrical Code, Article 318.
-

Always observe common safety practices when assembling tray and fittings. Installations generally require some field cutting. Dust
created during fabrication presents no serious health hazard, but skin irritation may be experienced by some workers.
Operators of saws and drills should wear masks, long sleeve shirts or coveralls.
Fabrication with fiberglass is relatively easy and comparable to working with wood. Ordinary hand tools may be used in most cases.
Avoid excessive pressure when sawing or drilling. Too much force can rapidly dull tools and also produce excessive heat which
softens the bonding resin in the fiberglass resulting in a ragged edge rather than a clean-cut edge.
Field cutting is simple and can be accomplished with a circular power saw with an abrasive cut-off wheel (masonry type) or hack saw
(24 to 32 teeth per inch).
Drill fiberglass as you would drill hard wood. Standard twist drills are more than adequate.
Any surface that has been drilled, cut, sanded or otherwise broken, must be sealed with a compatible resin. (see page 347)
Carbide tipped saw blades and drill bits are recommended when cutting large quantities.
Support the fiberglass material firmly during cutting operations to keep material from shifting which may cause chipping at the
cut edge.
Each tray section length should be equal to or greater than the support span.
When possible, the splice should be located at quarter span.
Fittings should be supported as per NEMA FG-1.

Recommended Fiberglass Trapeze Hanging Systems
Notes:
1) A snug three to four ft.-lbs. torque is sufficient for all thread rod nuts.
2) When supporting cable tray, the spacing between each trapeze should not exceed the distance between splice plates.
3) When hanging from beam, B-Line BFPU751 series clamps provide extra thread engagement necessary for load ratings. All thread rod
must be fully engaged in the clamp.
4) Design load safety factor is 3:1

How To Size Cable Tray
Based on the National Electrical Code - 1993, Section 318
The National Electrical Code Article 318 was written primarily for verifying the cable fill in cable trays but little has been done to convert this
information into a design procedure.
In the development of a complete cable tray support system, B-Line established a simple method of determining the right size tray to support
any given amount of cables. The following tables cover our method for determining cable tray widths based on tray design and system voltage.
Table I
Table I is subdivided into two categories covering electrical service of 2000 volts or less. The first, Category A, is for any mixture of power or
lighting cables with any mixture of control or signal cables. Category B is used when control and/or signal cables only are being used.
Control Circuit - the circuit of a control apparatus or system that carries the electric signals
directing the performance of the controller, but does not carry the main power (NEC Article 100).
Signaling Circuit - any electric circuit that energizes signaling equipment (NEC Article 100).
Table II
Table II has only one category of electrical service and that is 2001 volts and over for types MV and MC cables both single and multiconductor.
Type MV is a single or multiconductor solid dielectric insulated cable rated 2001 volts or higher (NEC Article 326).
Type MC cable is a factory assembly of one or more conductors, each individually insulated and enclosed in a metallic sheath or interlocking
tape, or a smooth or corrugated tube (NEC Article 334).
Cables other than Types MV and MC can be installed provided they are "specifically approved for installation in cable trays."
Table III
Table III covers 3, 4 and 6 inch ventilated cable channels.

• SINGLE CONDUCTOR CABLES
- 600 MCM and larger use 70% of tables 310-17 and

- use 95% of tables 310-75 and 310-76
• SINGLE CONDUCTOR CABLES
- use 70% of tables 310-69 and 310-70

Rarely is the cross-sectional area of a
multiconductor cable given in
manufacturers literature or the
National Electrical Code. To calculate
the cross-sectional area simply square
the diameter and multiply by 0.7854.
The diameter used in the calculations
is the overall outside diameter (O.D.)
of the cable including insulation
and/or armor.
Cross Sectional Area (Square Inches)

The multipliers used in all tables are
mathematical equivalents of Tables
318-9 and 318-10 of the National
Electrical Code-1993.

= 0.7854 (O.D.)2

An example can be found in column
1 of Table 318-9. The proportion of
cable tray width (size inches) to
allowable fill (seven square inches) is
0.857 for 3/0 and smaller
multiconductor cables in ladder type
trays. Therefore the product of 0.857
and the cross-sectional area of cables
is the tray width.

Values are based on simple beam tests per NEMA VFG-1 on 36" wide cable tray rungs spaced on 12" centers. Published load
safety factor is 1.5. To convert 1.5 safety factor to 2.0, multiply published load by 0.75. To obtain mid-span deflection, multiply a
load by the deflection multiplier. Cable tray must be supported on spans shorter than or equal to the length of the cable being
installed.

When trays are used in continuous spans, the deflection of the tray is reduced by as much as 50%.

How The Service Advisor Works
B-Line knows that your time is important! That’s why the color-coding system in this catalog is designed to help you
select products that fit your service needs. Products are marked to indicate the typical lead time for orders of 50
pieces or less.
Customer: How do I select my straight sections. covers, or fittings so that I get the quickest turnaround?
Service Advisor: Each part of our selection chart is shown in colors. If any section of a part number is a different
color, the part will typically ship with the longer lead time represented by the colors.
Green = Fastest shipped items (normally 3 to 5 working days)
Black = Normal lead-time items (normally 5 to 10 working days)
Red = Normally long lead-time items (15 working days minimum)

and reusable after two successive short circuit tests).
To protect and cushion cables, Emperor cleats
incorporate an integral low smoke, low fume, zero
halogen liner in its unique patented design.
Recommended fixing methods include one bolt, two
bolts, weld stud or framing strut mounting. Optional
bases are available to mount Emperor cable cleats to
non-performed ladder tray rungs.

Vulcan Cable Cleats

Vulcan Cable Cleats with LSF Liner
Vulcan cable cleats are recommended for installations
where moderate levels of short circuit withstand are
required. Vulcan cable cleats are designed for trefoil,
single and triplex cable installations. Vulcan cable
cleats are independently certified to BS EN

Appendix

These options are in addition to the
Standard Ladder Rungs, Ventilated Trough and
Solid Trough type Cable Trays.

Ladder with Strut Rungs
• B44 strut installed as rungs.
• Strut orientation may be channel opening up, channel opening
down, or alternating - standard is alternating unless specified otherwise.
• Strut may be solid back or with slotted hole pattern "SH".
• The Cooper B-Line strut rung system offers additional cable clamping
options relative to the chosen slot orientation.
Examples: 248G09B44-12-144
Strut rung on 9" centers with alternating
slot orientation.
248G12B44SHDN-12-144
"SH" Strut rung on 12" centers with channel
opening down (Note: replace "DN" with "UP" for
channel opening up.)

Marine Rung (Available in Aluminum, HDGAF Steel and Stainless Steel)

(Aluminum Shown)

• Designed for Series 3 or heavier systems.
• Special rung design to accommodate stainless steel banding
of cables (U.S. Coast Guard requirement) with .25" x .69" slots.
• Has applications on land, vertical installation, any location
where extra cable positioning/attachment is required.

Cable Fill in Hazardous (Classified) Locations:
Section 392.3 of the NEC regulates the use of cable tray wiring systems in hazardous (classified) locations. This
section states that if cable tray wiring systems are installed in hazardous (classified) locations, the cables that they
support must be suitable for installation in those hazardous (classified) locations. The cable carries the installation
restriction, not the cable tray except that the cable tray installation must comply with Section 392.4.
Some hazardous (classified) locations require special spacing of the cables. When installing Type MC, MI & TC cables
in cable tray in Class II, Division 2 Hazardous (classified) areas, (combustible dusts), the cables are limited to a single
layer with spacing between cables equal to the diameter of the largest adjacent cable. This is the only hazardous
(classified) location where the spacing of the cables is required although it is recommended that this wiring method also
be employed in Class III, Division I, and Class III, Division 2 (Ignitable Fibers & Flyings). Please note that this will alter
the cable tray sizing information obtained from the sizing flow chart on page 36 & 37 of this catalog.

Appendix

Supports -

Cooper B-Line Cable Tray shall be sized and installed as a complete cable support system appropriate for the cable
types installed. Recommended cable tray support locations are as shown below. Do not exceed the maximum support spacing
and design load as printed on the side rail label. Refer to Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) section 12-2202 for minimum cable
tray clearances.

Splice Plates - Use factory supplied splice plates only.

Splice plates located at the quarter span between supports are preferred. Avoid placing splices at midspan and directly above supports. Torque all splice plate fasteners to 19 ft. - lbs. for 3/8"
and 50 ft. - lbs. for 1/2". Expansion splice plate fasteners should be loosened 1/2 turn after reaching full torque to allow for
travel. Set the side rail gap for expansion plates according to the chart on page 24 and ensure that a support is located within 2
feet on each side of the expansion splice.

Conductors -

The Cable Tray system installation shall be completed prior to pulling conductors. Cable support distances for
conductor size should be referenced in CEC Part 1, Table 21. Single conductor cables placed one diameter or more apart in
ventilated or ladder type tray are allowed to use the free air rating per the CEC. Any conductor in vertical runs of cable tray and
all single conductor cables must be fastened to the rungs with nylon cable ties or stainless steel clamps. Carbon steel cable
clamps should not be used due to induction heating, per CEC section 12-2204 (5).

Covers -

Vertical cable trays which penetrate dry floors must be covered for 2m (two meter) above the floor level. All cable tray
dead ends must be closed with blind ends per CEC sec 12-2202( 6).

Handling -

Cable tray is shipped without exterior crating, therefore careful material handling practices should be used. Cable
tray straight sections should be lifted with wide slings and an overhead crane. If a crane is not available and a fork lift is to be
used, only single bundles should be lifted. Ensure that each bundle is properly centered. Cable tray fittings that are not crated
should be unbanded and off-loaded by hand.

Storage -

All cable tray materials are subject to storage stain (white rust) if improperly stored. If cable tray is stored as shipped,
it must be stored indoors. If the cable tray material must be stored outside, it must be unbanded and loosely stacked on an angle
to minimize the components' contact area as well as provide for adequate drainage.

WHY CABLE TRAY?

Cable Tray Manual

BECAUSE A CABLE TRAY WIRING SYSTEM PROVIDES
SAFE AND DEPENDABLE WAYS TO SAVE NOW AND LATER
Large numbers of electrical engineers have limited
detail knowledge concerning 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. Certain decisions must be made for any
wiring system installation, and these decisions should
be made in the design and construction activities' chain
where maximum impact is achieved at the lowest
possible cost. Deferring design decisions to
construction can result in increased costs and wiring
systems incompatible with the owner's future
requirements. Early in the project's design life, the
costs and features of various applicable wiring systems
should be objectively evaluated in detail. Unfortunately,
such evaluations are often not made because of the
time and money involved. It is important to realize that
these initial evaluations are important and will save
time and money in the long run. The evaluation should
include the safety, dependability, space and cost
requirements of the project. Many industrial and
commercial electrical wiring systems have excessive
initial capital costs, unnecessary power outages and
require excessive maintenance. Moreover, the wiring
system may not have the features to easily
accommodate system changes and expansions, or
provide the maximum degree of safety for the
personnel and the facilities.
Cable tray wiring systems are the preferred wiring
system when they are evaluated against equivalent
conduit wiring systems in ter ms of safety,
dependability, space and cost. To properly evaluate a
cable tray wiring system vs. a conduit wiring system, an
engineer must be knowledgeable of both their
installation and the system features. The advantages of
cable tray installations are listed below and explained in
the following paragraphs.
• Safety Features
• Dependability
• Space Savings
• Cost Savings
• Design Cost Savings
• Material Cost Savings
• Installation Cost & Time Savings
• Maintenance Savings

CABLE TRAY SAFETY FEATURES
A properly engineered and installed cable tray wiring
system provides some highly desirable safety features
that are not obtainable with a conduit wiring system.
• Tray cables do not provide a significant path for the
transmission of corrosive, explosive, or toxic gases while
conduits do. There have been explosions in industrial

facilities in which the conduit systems were a link in the
chain of events that set up the conditions for the
explosions. These explosions would not have occurred
with a cable tray wiring system since the explosive gas
would not have been piped into a critical area. This can
occur even though there are seals in the conduits. There
does have to be some type of an equipment failure or
abnormal condition for the gas to get into the conduit,
however this does occur. Conduit seals prevent
explosions from traveling down the conduit (pressure
piling) but they do not seat tight enough to prevent
moisture or gas migration until an explosion or a sudden
pressure increase seats them. The October 6, 1979
Electrical Substation Explosion at the Cove Point,
Maryland Columbia Liquefied Natural Gas Facility is a
very good example of where explosive gas traveled
though a two hundred foot long conduit with a seal in it.
The substation was demolished, the foreman was killed
and an operator was badly burned. This explosion
wouldn’t have occurred if a cable tray wiring system had
been installed instead of a conduit wiring system. A New
Jersey chemical plant had the instrumentation and
electrical equipment in one of its control rooms
destroyed in a similar type incident.
• In addition to explosive gases, corrosive gases and
toxic gases from chemical plant equipment failures can
travel through the conduits to equipment or control
rooms where the plant personnel and the sensitive
equipment will be exposed to the gases.
• In facilities where cable tray may be used as the
equipment grounding conductor in accordance with
NEC ® Sections 392.3(C) & 392.7, the grounding
equipment system components lend themselves to visual
inspection as well as electrical continuity checks.

CABLE TRAY 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. The dependability of cable tray wiring
systems has been proven by a 40 year track record of
excellent performance.
• Cable tray wiring systems have an outstanding
record for dependable service in industry. It is the most
common industrial wiring system in Europe. In
continuous process systems, an electrical system failure
can cost millions of dollars and present serious process
safety problems for the facility, its personnel and the
people in the surrounding communities. A properly
designed and installed cable tray system with the
appropriate cable types will provide a wiring system of
outstanding dependability for process plants.

378
Cable Tray Systems

covers just the conductors, material, and installation
labor costs. The results of these initial cost evaluations
usually show that the installed cable tray wiring system
will cost 10 to 60 percent less than an equivalent
conduit wiring system. The amount of cost savings
depends on the complexity and size of the installation.

• Large retail and warehouse installations use cable
tray to support their data communication cable
systems. Such systems must be dependable so that
there are no outages of their continuous inventory
control systems.

There are other savings in addition to the initial
installation cost savings for cable tray wiring systems
over conduit wiring systems. They include reduced
engineering costs, reduced maintenance costs, reduced
expansion costs, reduced production losses due to
power outages, reduced environmental problems due
to continuity of power and reduced data handling
system costs due to the continuity of power. The
magnitudes of many of these costs savings are difficult
to determine until the condition exists which makes
them real instead of potential cost savings.

• Cable tray wiring systems have been widely used
to support cabling in both commercial and industrial
computer rooms overhead and beneath the floor to
provide orderly paths to house and support the cabling.
These types of installations need a high degree of
dependability which can be obtained using cable tray
wiring systems.

DESIGN COST SAVINGS
CABLE TRAY SPACE SAVINGS
When compared to a conduit wiring system, an
equivalent cable tray wiring system installation requires
substantially less space.
Increasing the size of a structure or a support system
to handle a high space volume conduit wiring system is
unnecessary when this problem can be avoided by the
selection of a cable tray wiring system.
• Facilities with high density wiring systems devoted
to control, instrumentation, data handling and branch
circuit wiring have the choice of selecting cable tray or
conduit wiring systems. A conduit wiring system is
often a poor choice because large conduit banks
require significant space, competing with other systems
and equipment. Choosing a cable tray wiring system
greatly reduces this problem.
• Financial institutions with lar ge computer
installations have high density wiring systems under
floors or in overhead plenum areas that are best
handled by cable tray wiring systems.
• Airport facilities have extensive cable tray wiring
systems to handle the ever expanding needs of the
airline industry.
• Cable tray is used in many facilities because of the
ever present need of routing more and more cables in
less space at lower costs.
• Large health care facilities have high density
wiring systems that are ideal candidates for cable tray.

• Most projects are roughly defined at the start of
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 systems than for conduit wiring systems. A
small amount of engineering is required to change the
width of a cable tray to gain additional wiring space
capacity. Change is a complex problem when conduit
banks are involved.
• The final drawings for a cable tray wiring system
may be completed and sent out for bid or construction
more quickly than for a conduit wiring system. Cable
tray simplifies the wiring system design process and
reduces the number of details.
• Cable tray wiring systems are well suited for
computer aided design drawings. A spread sheet based
wiring management program may be used to control
the cable fills in the cable tray. While such a system
may also be used for controlling conduit fill, large
numbers of individual conduits must be monitored. For
an equal capacity wiring system, only a few cable tray
runs would have to be monitored.
• Dedicated cable tray installation zones alert other
engineering disciplines to avoid designs that will
produce equipment and material installation conflicts in
these areas. As more circuits are added, the cable tray
installation zone will increase only a few inches; the
space required for the additional conduits needed
would be much greater.

CABLE TRAY WIRING SYSTEM
COST SAVINGS

• The fact that a cable can easily enter and
exit cable tray anywhere along its route, allows
for some unique opportunities that provide highly
flexible designs.

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

• Fewer supports have to be designed and less
coordination is required between the design disciplines
for the cable tray supports compared to conduit
supports.

• Television broadcast origination facilities and
studios make use of cable tray to support and route the
large volumes of cable needed for their operations with
a high degree of dependability. It would be impossible
to have the wiring system flexibility they need with a
conduit wiring system.

MATERIAL COST SAVINGS
• Excluding conductors, the cost of the cable trays,
supports, and miscellaneous materials will provide a
savings of up to 80% as compared to the cost of the
conduits, supports, pull boxes, and miscellaneous
materials. An 18 inch wide cable tray has an allowable
fill area of 21 square inches. It would take 7 - 3 inch
conduits to obtain this allowable fill area (7 x 2.95
square inches = 20.65 square inches).

Cable Tray Manual

• The cost of 600 volt insulated multiconductor
cables listed for use in cable tray is greater than the cost
of 600 volt insulated individual conductors used in
conduit. The cost differential depends on the insulation
systems, jacket materials and cable construction.
• For some electrical loads, parallel conductors are
installed in conduit and the conductors must be derated,
requiring larger conductors to make up for the deration.
If these circuits were installed in cable tray, the
conductor sizes would not need to be increased since
the parallel conductor derating factors do not apply to
three conductor or single conductor cables in cable tray.

• Typical 300 volt insulated multiconductor
instrumentation tray cables (ITC) and power limited tray
cables (PLTC) cost the same for both cable tray and
conduit wiring systems. This applies for instrumentation
circuits, low level analog and digital 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 PLTC cables must be used.
• Conduit banks often require more frequent and
higher strength supports than cable trays. 3 inch and
larger rigid metal conduits are the only sizes allowed to
be supported on 20 foot spans [National Electrical
Code® (NEC®) Table 344.30(B)(2)].
• When a cable tray width is increased 6 inches, the
cable tray cost increase is less than 10 percent. This
substantially increases the cable tray’s wiring capacity
for a minimal additional cost. To obtain such an
increase in capacity for a conduit wiring system would
be very costly.

Cable Tray Systems

INSTALLATION COST AND TIME SAVINGS
• Depending on the complexity and magnitude of
the wiring system, the total cost savings for the initial
installation (labor, equipment and material) may be up to
75 percent for a cable tray wiring system over a conduit
wiring system. When there are banks of conduit to be
installed that are more than 100 feet long and consist of
four or more 2 inch conduits or 12 or more smaller
conduits, the labor cost savings obtained using cable
tray wiring systems are very significant.

• 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.
• Conduit wiring systems require pull boxes or splice
boxes when there is the equivalent of more than 360
degrees of bends in a run. For large conductors, pull or
junction boxes may be required more often to facilitate
the conductor’s installation. Cable tray wiring systems
do not require pull boxes or splice boxes.
• Penetrating a masonry wall with cable tray requires
a smaller hole and limited repair work.
• More supports are normally required for rigid steel
conduit due to the requirements of NEC ® Table
344.30(B)(2).
• Concentric conduit bends for direction changes in
conduit banks are very labor intensive and difficult to
make. However if they are not used, the installation will
be unattractive. The time required to make a concentric
bend is increased by a factor of 3-6 over that of a single
shot bend. This time consuming practice is eliminated
when cable tray wiring systems are used.
• Conductor pulling is more complicated and time
consuming for conduit wiring systems than for cable
tray wiring systems. Normally, single conductor wire
pulls for conduit wiring systems require multiple reel
setups. For conduit wiring systems, it is necessary to pull
from termination equipment enclosure to termination
equipment enclosure. Tray cables being installed in
cable trays do not have to be pulled into the termination
equipment enclosures. Tray cable may be pulled from
near the first termination enclosure along the cable tray
route to near the second termination enclosure. Then,
the tray cable is inserted into the equipment enclosures
for termination. For projects with significant numbers of
large conductors terminating in switchgear, this may be
a very desirable feature that can save hours of an
electrician's time. Unnecessary power outages can be
eliminated since tray cable pulls may be made without

• Conductor insulation damage is common in
conduits since jamming can occur when pulling the
conductors. Jamming is the wedging of conductors in a
conduit when three conductors lay side by side in a flat
plane. This may occur when pulling around bends or
when the conductors twist. Ninety-two percent of all
conductor failures are the result of the conductor’s
insulation being damaged during the conductor’s
installation. Many common combinations of conductors
and conduits fall into critical jam ratio values. Critical
jam ratio (J.R.= Conduit ID/Conductor OD) values
range from 2.8 to 3.2. The J. R. for 3 single conductor
THHN/THWN insulated 350 kcmil conductors in a
21/2 inch conduit would be 3.0 (2.469 inches/ 0.816
inches). If conductor insulation damage occurs,
additional costs and time are required for replacing the
conductors. This cannot occur in a cable tray wiring
system.
• Smaller electrician crews may be used to install the
equivalent wiring capacity in cable tray. This allows for
manpower leveling, the peak and average crew would
be almost the same number, and the electrician
experience level required is lower for cable tray
installations.
• Since the work is completed faster there is less
work space conflict with the other construction
disciplines. This is especially true if installations are
elevated and if significant amounts of piping are being
installed on the project.

MAINTENANCE SAVINGS
• One of the most important features of cable tray is
that tray cable can easily be installed in existing trays if
there is space available. Cable tray wiring systems allow
wiring additions or modifications to be made quickly
with minimum disruption to operations. Any
conceivable change that is required in a wiring system
can be done at lower cost and in less time for a cable
tray wiring system than for a conduit wiring system.
• 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. The conduits then pipe this
moisture into the electrical equipment enclosures which
over a period of time results in the deterioration of the
equipment insulation systems and their eventual failure.
Also, moisture may become a factor in the corrosion
failure of some of the critical electrical equipment's
metallic components. Conduit seals are not effective in
blocking the movement of moisture. The conduit
systems may be designed to reduce the moisture

381
Cable Tray Systems

Cable Tray Manual

• Many more individual components are involved in
the installation of a conduit system and its conductors
compared to the installation of a cable tray system and
its cables. This results in the handling and installing of
large amounts of conduit items vs. small amounts of
cable tray items for the same wiring capacity.

de-energizing the equipment. For conduit installations,
the equipment will have to be de-energized for rubber
safety blanketing to be installed, otherwise the
conductor pulls might have to be made on a weekend or
on a holiday at premium labor costs to avoid shutting
down production or data processing operations during
normal working hours.

Cable Tray Manual

problems but not to completely eliminate it.
Few designers go into the design detail necessary to
reduce the effects of moisture in the conduit systems.
Tray cables do not provide internal moisture paths as do
conduits.
• In the event of exter nal fires in industrial
installations, the damage to the tray cable and cable tray
is most often limited to the area of the flame contact
plus a few feet on either side of the flame contact area.
For such a fire enveloping a steel conduit bank, the steel
conduit is a heat sink and the conductor insulation will
be damaged for a considerable distance inside the
conduit. Thermoplastic insulation may be fused to the
steel conduit and the conduit will need to be replaced
for many feet. This occurred in an Ohio chemical plant
and the rigid steel conduits had to be replaced for 90
feet. Under such conditions, the repair cost for fire
damage would normally be greater for a conduit wiring
system than for cable tray and tray cable. In the Ohio
chemical plant fire, there were banks of conduits and
runs of cable tray involved. The cable tray wiring
systems were repaired in two days. The conduit wiring
systems were repaired in six days and required a great
deal more manpower.

Because Article 300 is exempt from this requirement
only low-voltage and communication cables are affected.
Each Article adopted a definition of abandoned cables
and the rule for removal. The general consensus is that
abandoned cable is cable that is not terminated at
equipment or connectors and is not identified for future
use with a tag. Please refer to each individual NEC®
Article for specifics.
Having to tag, remove, or rearrange cables within an
enclosed raceway can be a time consuming and difficult
job. Without being able to clearly see the cables and
follow their exact routing throughout a facility,
identifying abandoned cables would be very difficult and
expensive.
With the open accessibility of cable tray, these
changes can be implemented with ease. Abandoned
cables can be identified, marked, rearranged, or
removed with little or no difficulty.

• In the event of an exter nal fire, the conduit
becomes a heat sink and an oven which decreases the
time required for the conductor insulation systems to
fail. The heat decomposes the cable jackets and the
conductor insulation material. If these materials contain
PVC as do most cables, hydrogen chloride vapors will
come out the ends of the conduits in the control rooms.
These fumes are very corrosive to the electronic
equipment. They are also hazardous to personnel. A
flame impingement on a cable tray system will not result
in the fumes going into the control room as there is no
containment path for them. They will be dispersed into
the atmosphere.

For the 2002 National Electrical Code, several
proposals were submitted to the NFPA to revise the
1999 NEC® for Articles 300, 640, 645, 725, 760,
770, 800, 820, and 830 to require all abandoned
cables to be removed from plenum spaces.
The purpose of the proposals is to remove the cables
as a source of excess combustibles from plenums and
other confined spaces such as raised floors and drop
ceilings. All of the Code Making Panels agreed that this
should be acceptable practice except Code Making
Panel 3, which oversees Article 300.

Standard Aluminum Ladder

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.

Where the ladder cable tray supports small diameter
multiconductor control and instrumentation cables; 6, 9,
or 12 inch rung spacings should be specified. Quality
Type TC, Type PLTC, or Type ITC small diameter
multiconductor control and instrumentation cables will
not be damaged due to the cable tray rung spacing
selected, but the installation may not appear neat if
there is significant drooping of the cables between the
rungs.

• A ladder cable tray without covers provides for the
maximum free flow of air, dissipating heat produced in
current carrying conductors.

For ladder cable trays supporting large power cables,
9 inch or wider rung spacings should be selected. For
many installations, the cable trays are routed over the
top of a motor control center (MCC) or switchgear
enclosure. Cables exit out the bottom of the cable trays
and into the top of the MCC or switchgear enclosure.
For these installations, the cable manufacturer's
recommended minimum bending radii for the specific
cables must not be violated. If the rung spacing is too
close, it may be necessary to remove some rungs in
order to maintain the proper cable bending radii. This
construction site modification can usually be avoided by
selecting a cable tray with 12 or 18 inch rung spacing.

• Moisture cannot accumulate in ladder cable trays
and be piped into electrical equipment as happens in
conduit systems.

If you are still uncertain as to which rung spacing to
specify, 9 inch rung spacing is the most common and is
used on 80% of the ladder cable tray sold.

• 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.
• Cables may exit or enter through the top or the
bottom of the tray.

• Ladder cable tray cannot pipe hazardous or
explosive gasses from one area to another as happens
with conduit systems.
• In areas where there is the potential for dust to
accumulate, ladder cable trays should be installed. The
dust buildup in ladder cable trays will be less than the
dust buildup in ventilated trough or solid bottom cable
trays.
Ladder cable trays are available in widths of 6, 9, 12,
18, 24, 30, 36, and 42 inches with rung spacings of 6,
9, 12, or 18 inches. Wider rung spacings and wider
cable tray widths decrease the overall strength of the
cable tray. Specifiers should be aware that some cable
tray manufacturers do not account for this load
reduction in their published cable tray load charts.
Cooper B-Line uses stronger rungs in wider cable trays
to safely bear the loads published.

Steel Ventilated Trough

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. It is not. Solid
trough is recognized as solid bottom cable tray.

383
Cable Tray Systems

Cable Tray Manual

With one exception, the specifier selects the rung
spacing that he or she feels is the most desirable for the
installation. The exception is that 9 inches is the
maximum allowable rung spacing for a ladder cable tray
supporting any 1/0 through 4/0 single conductor
cables [See Section 392.3(B)(1)(a)].

392.1. Scope.

Cable Tray Manual

Ventilated trough cable tray is often used when the
specifier does not want to use ladder cable tray to
support small diameter multiconductor control and
instrumentation cables. As no drooping of the small
diameter cables is visible, ventilated trough cable trays
provide neat appearing installations. Small diameter
cables may exit the ventilated trough cable tray through
the bottom ventilation holes as well as out the top of the
cable tray. For installations where the cables exit the
bottom of the cable tray and the system is subject to
some degree of vibration, it is advisable to use Cooper
B-Line Trough Drop-Out Bushings (Cat. No. 99-1124).
These snap-in bushings provide additional abrasion
protection for the cable jackets. Just as for ladder cable
tray, ventilated trough cable tray will not pipe moisture
into electrical equipment.
Standard widths for ventilated trough cable tray
systems are 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 inches. The
standard bottom configuration for ventilated trough
cable tray is a corrugated bottom with 27/8 inch bearing
surfaces - 6 inches on centers and 21/4 inch x 4 inch
ventilation openings. Since a corrugated bottom cannot
be bent horizontally, the standard bottom configuration
for horizontal bend fittings consists of rungs spaced on
4 inch centers. This difference in bottom construction
may be objectionable to some owners, so be sure you
are aware of the owner's sensitivity to aesthetics for the
cable tray installation.

Aluminum Solid Bottom Trough

Some specifiers prefer solid bottom cable tray to
support large numbers of small diameter control and
multiconductor instrumentation cables. Solid bottom
steel cable trays with solid covers and wrap around
cover clamps can be used to provide EMI/RFI shielding
protection for sensitive circuits.
Unlike ladder and ventilated trough cable trays, solid
bottom cable trays can collect and retain moisture.
Where they are installed outdoors or indoors in humid
locations and EMI/RFI shielding protection is not
required, it is recommended that 1/4 inch weep holes be
drilled in their bottoms at the sides and in the middle
every 3 feet to limit water accumulation.
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. All the technical information developed
by the 1973 NEC® Technical Subcommittee on Cable
Tray for Article 318 - Cable Trays was based on cable
trays with side rails and this technical information is still
the basis for the 2005 NEC® Article 392 - Cable Trays.

Vent. Channel Cable Tray
(B-Line's Cable Channel)

Channel cable tray systems (Cooper B-Line's cable
channel) are available in 3, 4, and 6 inch widths with
ventilated or solid bottoms. T h e N E C ® n o w
recognizes solid bottom cable channel. Prior to
the 2002 Code, the NEC® did not have any specific
provisions for the use of solid cable channel.
Instead of large conduits, cable channel may be used
very effectively to support cable drops from the cable
tray run to the equipment or device being serviced and
is ideal for cable tray runs involving a small number of
cables. Cable channel may also be used to support push
buttons, field mounted instrumentation devices, etc.
Small diameter cables may exit ventilated cable channel
through the bottom ventilation holes, out the top or
through the end. For installations where the cables exit
through the ventilation openings and the cable channel
or the cables are subject to some degree of vibration, it
is advisable to use Cooper B-Line Cable Channel
Bushings (Cat. No. 99-1125). These snap-in plastic
bushings provide additional abrasion protection for the
cable jackets.

Center Supported Cable Tray
(B-Line’s Cent-R-Rail System)

The standard lengths for cable trays are 10, 12, 20
and 24 feet (consult Cooper B-Line for the availability
of nonstandard cable tray lengths). Selecting a cable tray
length is based on several criteria. Some of these
criteria include the required load that the cable tray must
support, the distance between the cable tray supports,
and ease of handling and installation. One industry
standard that is strongly recommended is that
only one cable tray splice be placed between
support spans and, for long span trays, that they
ideally be place at 1/4-span. This automatically limits the
length of tray you choose, as the tray must be longer
than or equal to the support span you have selected.

384
Cable Tray Systems

Matching the tray length to your support span can help
ensure that your splice locations are controlled.

appearance of the cable tray system in addition to
reducing labor costs.

Cable trays can be organized into 4 categories: Short
Span, Intermediate Span, Long Span, and Extra-Long
Span.

Cable Tray Materials

In an indoor industrial installation 10 or 12 foot tray
sections may be easier to handle and install as you may
have piping or ducting to maneuver around. However,
using 20 foot instead of 12 foot straight sections may
provide labor savings during installation by reducing the
number of splice joints. If this is done, the selected tray
system should meet the loading requirements for the
support span you are using. If you are interested in
supporting 100 lbs/ft and you are buying 20 foot tray
sections while supporting it every 12 feet, it isn’t
necessary to specify a NEMA 20C tray (100 lbs/ft on a
20 foot span). A NEMA 20A tray (50 lbs/ft on a 20
foot span) will support over 130 lbs/ft when supported
on a 12 ft span with a safety factor of 1.5. Specifying a
20C tray is not an economical use of product. If you
desire to use 20 foot sections of cable tray, it makes
more sense to increase your support span up to 20 feet.
This not only saves labor by decreasing the number of
splices, but also by decreasing the number of supports
that must be installed.
Long Span trays are typically supported anywhere
from 14 to 20 foot intervals with 20 feet being the most
popular. In long span situations, the placement of the
splice locations at 1 / 4 -span becomes much more
important. Matching the tray length to your support
span can help control your splice locations.
Extra-Long Span trays are supported on spans
exceeding 20 feet. Some outdoor cable tray installations
may have to span anywhere from 20 to 30 feet to cross
roads or to reduce the number of expensive outdoor
supports. The distance between supports affects the tray
strength exponentially; therefore the strength of the
cable tray system selected should be designed around
the specific support span chosen for that run.
[See Section 392.5(A) on page 390 for additional
information on cable tray strength and rigidity.]
Cooper B-Line has many cataloged fittings and
accessory items for ladder, ventilated trough, ventilated
channel, and solid bottom cable trays which eliminate
the need for the costly field fabrication of such items.
When properly selected and installed, these factory
fabricated fittings and accessories improve the

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. Aluminum's light weight significantly
reduces the cost of installation when compared to steel.
A fine print note is included in the 2005 NEC® that
references the National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) documents for further information
on cable tray. These documents: ANSI/NEMA VE-1,
Metal Cable Tray Systems; NEMA VE-2, Cable Tray
Installation Guidelines; and NEMA FG-1, Non Metallic
Cable Tray Systems, are an excellent industry resource
in the application, selection, and installation of cable
trays both metallic and non metallic. Contact Cooper
B-Line for more information concerning these helpful
documents.

392.2. Definition. Cable Tray System.
This section states that cable tray is a rigid structural
support system used to securely fasten or support cables
and raceways. Cable trays are not raceways. Cable trays
are mechanical supports just as strut systems are
mechanical supports. NEC® Article 392 - Cable Trays
is an article dedicated to a type of mechanical support.
It is very important that the personnel involved with
engineering and installing cable tray utilize it as a
mechanical support system and not attempt to utilize it
as a raceway system. There are items in the NEC® that
apply to raceways and not to cable tray. There are also
items in the NEC® that apply to cable tray and not to
raceways. These differences will be covered at the
appropriate locations in this manual.

392.3. Uses Permitted. Cable tray
installations shall not be limited to industrial
establishments.
The text in Section 392.3 clearly states that cable tray
may be used in non-industrial establishments. The use of
cable tray should be based on sound engineering and
economic decisions.
For clarity, the NEC® now lists all types of circuits to
explicitly permit their use in cable trays. These circuit
types include: services, feeders, branch circuits,
communication circuits, control circuits, and signaling
circuits.
The 2002 NEC® also added a new requirement that
where cables in tray are exposed to the direct rays of
the sun, they shall be identified as sunlight resistant for
all occupancies, not just industrial.

385
Cable Tray Systems

Cable Tray Manual

Short Span trays, typically used for non-industrial
indoor installations, are usually supported every 6 to 8
feet, while Inter mediate Span trays are typically
supported every 10 to 12 feet. A 10 or 12 foot cable
tray is usually used for both of these types of
installations. To keep from allowing two splices to occur
between supports, a 12 foot tray should be used for any
support span greater than 10 feet, up to 12 feet.
Placing the cable tray splices at 1/4-span is not critical in
a short or intermediate span application given that most
trays have sufficiently strong splice plates.

Cable Tray Manual

392.3. Uses Permitted. (A) Wiring Methods.
This section identifies the 300 & 600 volt
multiconductor cables that may be supported by cable
tray. The "Uses Permitted" or "Uses Not Permitted"
sections in the appropriate NEC® cable articles provide
the details as to where that cable type may be used.
Where the cable type may be used, cable tray may be
installed to support it except as per Section 392.4
which states that cable trays shall not be installed in
hoistways or where subject to severe physical damage.
Where not subject to severe physical damage, cable tray
may be used in any hazardous (classified) area to
support the appropriate cable types in accordance with
the installation requirements of the various Articles that
make up NEC® Chapter 5 or in any non-hazardous
(unclassified) area.
It should be noted that Section 300.8 of the
NEC® states that cable trays containing electric
conductors cannot contain any other service that
is not electrical. This includes any pipe or tube
containing steam, water, air, gas or drainage.
For commercial and industrial cable tray wiring
systems: Type ITC, Type MC, Type TC, and Type
PLTC multiconductor cables are the most commonly
used cables. Type MI and Optical-Fiber cables are
special application cables that are desirable cables for
use in some cable tray wiring systems. The following
paragraphs provide information and comments about
these cable types.
Type MI Cable: Mineral-Insulated, Metal Sheathed
Cable (Article 332). This cable has a liquid and gas tight
continuous copper sheath over its copper conductors
and magnesium oxide insulation. Developed in the late
1920's by the French Navy for submarine electrical
wiring systems, properly installed MI cable is the safest
electrical wiring system available. In Europe, Type MI
cable has had a long, successful history of being installed
(with PVC jackets for corrosion protection) in cable trays
as industrial wiring systems. This cable may be installed
in hazardous (classified) areas or in non-hazardous
(unclassified) areas. The single limitation 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. Type
MI cable without overall nonmetallic coverings may be
installed in ducts or plenums used for environmental air
and in other space used for environmental air in
accordance with Sections 300.22(B) and (C). Cable tray
may be installed as a support for Type MI cable in any
location except where the cable is installed in a hoistway.
Section 332-30 states that MI cable shall be securely
supported at intervals not exceeding 6 feet (1.83 m).
Type MI cable has a UL two hour fire resistive rating
when properly installed. An installation requirement for
this rating is that the cable be securely supported every 3
feet. Steel or stainless steel cable trays should be used to
support Type MI cable being used for critical circuit
service. During severe fire conditions, steel or stainless
steel cable tray will remain intact and provide support
longer than aluminum or fiberglass reinforced plastic
cable trays.

Type MC Cable: Metal-clad cable (Article 330).
There are large amounts of Type MC cable installed in
industrial plant cable tray systems. This cable is often
used for feeder and branch circuit service and provides
excellent service when it is properly installed. The
metallic sheath may be interlocking metal tape or it may
be a smooth or corrugated metal tube. A nonmetallic
jacket is often extruded over the aluminum or steel
sheath as a corrosion protection measure. Regular MC
cable, without nonmetallic sheath, may be supported by
cable tray in any hazardous (classified) area except Class
I and Class II, Division 1 areas. For Type MC cables to
qualify for installation in Class I and Class II Division I
areas (Section 501-4(A) (1) (c&d), they must have a
gas/vapor tight continuous corrugated aluminum sheath
with a suitable plastic jacket over the sheath. They must
also contain equipment grounding conductors and listed
termination fittings must be used where the cables enter
equipment. Type MC Cable employing an impervious
metal sheath without overall nonmetallic coverings may
be installed in ducts or plenums used for environmental
air in accordance with Section 300.22(B) and may be
installed in other space used for environmental air in
accordance with Section 300.22(C). The maximum
support spacing is 6 feet (1.83 m).
Type TC Cable: Power and control tray cable
(Article 336). This cable type was added to the 1975
NEC® (as an item associated with the revision of Article
318-Cable Trays). Type TC cable is a multiconductor
cable with a flame retardant nonmetallic sheath that is
used for power, lighting, control, and signal circuits. It is
the most common cable type installed in cable tray for
480 volt feeders, 480 volt branch circuits, and control
circuits. Where Type TC cables comply with the crush
and impact requirements of Type MC cable and is
identified for such use, they are permitted as open
wiring between a cable tray and the utilization
equipment or device. In these instances where the cable
exits the tray, the cable must be supported and secured
at intervals not exceeding 6 feet (See Section
336.10(6)). The service record of UL listed Type TC
cable where properly applied and installed has been
excellent.
For those installations where the NEC® allows its use,
a cost savings is realized by using Type TC cables
instead of Type MC cables. Type TC cable may be
installed in cable tray in hazardous (classified) industrial
plant areas as permitted in Articles 392, 501, 502, 504
and 505 provided the conditions of maintenance and
supervision assure that only qualified persons will service
the installation [See Section 336.10(3)].
Where a cable tray wiring system containing Type TC
cables will be exposed to any significant amount of hot
metal splatter from welding or the torch cutting of metal
during construction or maintenance activities,
temporary metal or plywood covers should be installed
on the cable tray in the exposure areas to prevent cable
jacket and conductor insulation damage. It is desirable
to use only quality Type TC cables that will pass the
IEEE 383 and UL Vertical Flame Tests (70,000
BTU/hr). Type TC cable assemblies may contain optical
fiber members as per the UL 1277 standard.

Cable Tray Systems

Type ITC Cable: Instrumentation Tray Cable
(Article 727). Although this was a new cable article in
the 1996 NEC ® , it is not a new type of cable.
Thousands of miles of ITC cable have been installed in
industrial situations since the early 1960’s. This is a
multiconductor cable that most often has a nonmetallic
jacket. The No. 22 through No. 12 insulated conductors
in the cables are 300 volt rated. A metallic shield or a
metallized foil shield with a drain wire usually encloses
the cable’s conductors. These cables are used to
transmit the low energy level signals associated with the
industrial 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 727.4].

Type PLTC Cable: Power-Limited Tray Cable
(Sections 725-61(C), and 725-71(E)). This is a
multiconductor cable with a flame retardant nonmetallic
sheath. The No. 22 through No. 12 insulated
conductors in the cables are 300 volt rated. A metallic
shield or a metallized foil shield with drain wire usually
encloses the cable's conductors. This cable type has
high usage in communication, data processing, fire
protection, signaling, and industrial instrumentation
wiring systems.
There are versions of this cable with insulation and
jacket systems made of materials with low smoke
emission and low flame spread properties which make
them desirable for use in plenums. In Industrial
Establishments where the conditions of maintenance
and supervision ensure that only qualified persons
service the installation and where the cable is not subject
to physical damage Type PLTC cable may be installed
in cable trays hazardous (classified) areas as permitted in
Section 501.4(B), 502.4(B) and 504.20. Type PLTC
cables that comply with the crush and impact
requirements of Type MC cable and are identified for
such use, are permitted as open wiring in lengths not to
exceed a total of 50 ft. between a cable tray and the
utilization equipment or device. In this situation, the
cable needs to be supported and secured at intervals not
exceeding 6 ft. Where a cable tray wiring system
containing Type PLTC cables will be exposed to any

Optical Fiber Cables (Article 770). The addition of
optical fiber cables in the Section 392.3(A) cable list for
the 1996 NEC was not a technical change. Optical
fiber cables have been allowed to be supported in cable
trays as per Section 770.6. Optical fibers may also be
present in Type TC cables as per UL Standard 1277.
For the 1999 NEC® code, Article 760 - Fire Alarm
Cables and Articles 800 - Multipurpose and
Communications Cables were added to the list of cables
permitted to be installed in cable tray systems.
For the 1993 NEC®, the general statement in the
1990 NEC® which allowed all types of raceways to be
supported by cable trays was replaced by individual
statements for each of the ten specific raceway types
that may now be supported by cable tray. The chances
of any such installations being made are very low, since
strut is a more convenient and economic choice than
cable tray to support raceway systems.

392.3. Uses Permitted. (B) In Industrial
Establishments.
This section limits the installation of single conductor
cables and Type MV multiconductor cables in cable
trays to qualifying industrial establishments as defined in
this section.
Per the 2002 NEC® solid bottom cable trays are now
permitted to support single conductor cables only in
industrial establishments where conditions of
maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified
persons will service the installed cable tray system.
However, at this time, no fill rules for single conductor
cables in solid bottom cable tray have been established.
[see Section 392.3(B)]

392.3. Uses Permitted. (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. Such
installations are limited to qualifying industrial facilities
[See Section 392.3(B)]. Many of the facility engineers
prefer to use three conductor power cables. Normally,
three conductor power cables provide more desirable
electrical wiring systems than single conductor power

This section states that if cable tray wiring systems are

they support must be suitable for installation in those
hazardous (classified) areas. The cable carries the
installation restriction. The installation restriction is not
on the cable tray except that the cable tray installations
must comply with Section 392.4. The following is an
explanation of the parts of the code which affect the use
of cable tray in hazardous locations.

501.10. Wiring Methods - Listed Termination
392.3(B)(1)(c)
This section states that single conductors used as
equipment grounding conductors (EGCs) in cable trays
shall be No. 4 or larger insulated, covered or bare.
The use of a single conductor in a cable tray as the
EGC is an engineering design option. Section 300.3(B)
states that all conductors of the same circuit and the
EGC, if used, must be contained within the same cable
tray.
The other options are to use multiconductor cables
that each contain their own EGC or to use the cable
tray itself as the EGC in qualifying installations [see
Section 392.3(C)]
If an aluminum cable tray is installed in a moist
environment where the moisture may contain materials
that can serve as an electrolyte, a bare copper EGC
should not be used. Under such conditions, electrolytic
corrosion of the aluminum may occur. For such
installations, it is desirable to use a low cost 600 volt
insulated conductor and remove the insulation where
connections to equipment or to equipment grounding
conductors are made. (See Section 392.7. Grounding,
for additional information on single conductors used as
the EGC for cable tray systems).

not been widely used. For gas to pass through the
jacketed multiconductor cable's core, a pressure
differential must be maintained from one end of the

388
Cable Tray Systems

cable to the other end or to the point where there is a
break in the cable's jacket. The existence of such a
condition is extremely rare and would require that one
end of the cable be in a pressure vessel or a pressurized
enclosure and the other end be exposed to the
atmosphere. The migration of any significant volume of
gas or vapor though the core of a multiconductor cable
is very remote. This is one of the safety advantages that
cable tray wiring systems have over conduit wiring
systems. There are documented cases of industrial
explosions caused by the migration of gases and vapors
through conduits when they came in contact with an
ignition source. There are no known cases of cables in
cable tray wiring systems providing a path for gases or
vapors to an ignition source which produced an
industrial explosion.

Class 1, Division 2. (3)
Exception: Cables with an unbroken gas/vapor-tight
continuous sheath shall be permitted to pass through
a Class 1, Division 2 location without seals.
This is an extremely important exception stating that

This section states:
Type ITC and PLTC cables may be installed in ladder
or ventilated cable trays following the same practices as
used in non-hazardous (unclassified) areas. No spacing is
required between the ITC or PLTC cables. This is logical
as the ITC and PLTC cable circuits are all low energy
circuits which do not produce any significant heat or
heat dissipation problems.

Required Spacing in Cable Trays for Type MC, MI & TC
Cables in Class II, Division 2 Hazardous (Classified) Areas

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. A
reasonable distance between ties in the horizontal cable
tray would be approximately 6 feet (See Section 392.8
Cable Installation - Tying cables to cable trays).
Note 2. Spacing the cables a minimum of 1 inch
from the side rails to prevent dust buildup is
recommended. This is not an NEC requirement but a
recommended practice.
Where cable tray wiring systems with current carrying
conductors are installed in a dust environment, ladder
type cable trays should be used since there is less
surface area for dust buildup than in ventilated trough
cable trays. The spacing of the cables in dust areas will
prevent the cables from being totally covered with a
solid dust layer. In dusty areas, the top surfaces of all
equipment, raceways, supports, or cable jacket surfaces
where dust layers can accumulate will require cleanup
housekeeping at certain time intervals. Good
housekeeping is required for personnel health,
personnel safety and facility safety. Excessive amounts
of dust on raceways or cables will act as a thermal
barrier which may not allow the power and lighting
insulated conductors in a raceway or cable to safely
dissipate internal heat. This condition may result in the
accelerated aging of the conductor insulation. A cable
tray system that is properly installed and maintained will
provide a safe dependable wiring system in dust
environments.
Exception: Type MC cable listed for use in Class
II,Division I locations shall be permitted to be installed
without the above spacing limitations. This was a new
exception for the 1999 NEC® code.
For this type of wiring there is no danger of the cables
being overheated when covered with dust. The current
flow in these circuits is so low that the internally
generated heat is insufficient to heat the cables and
cable spacing is not a necessity. Even under such
conditions, layers of dust should not be allowed to
accumulate to critical depths as they may be ignited or

and (B) Class III, Division 2 (Ignitable Fibers or
Flyings). Type MI or MC cables may be installed in
cable tray in these types of hazardous (classified) areas.
The installations should be made using practices that
minimize the build-up of materials in the trays. This can
be done by using ladder cable tray with a minimum
spacing between the cables equal to the diameter of the
largest adjacent cable. In some cases, a greater spacing
between cables than that based on the cable diameters
might be desirable depending on the characteristics of
the material that requires the area to be classified. Here
again, it must be emphasized that good housekeeping
practices are required for all types of wiring systems to
insure the safety of the personnel and the facility.

504.20. Wiring Methods. This section allows
intrinsically safe wiring systems to be installed in cable
trays in hazardous (classified) areas. Section 504.30
specifies the installation requirements for intrinsically
safe wiring systems that are installed in cable trays.
Section 504.70 specifies the sealing requirements for
cables that may be part of a cable tray wiring system.
Section 504.80(B) states that cable trays containing
intrinsically safe wiring must be identified with
permanently affixed labels.
Cable trays are ideal for supporting both intrinsically
safe and nonintrinsically safe cable systems as the cables
may be easily spaced and tied in position or a standard
metallic barrier strip may be installed between the
intrinsically and nonintrinsically safe circuits.

505.15. Wiring Methods. This section was added to
the 2002 NEC ® to explicitly permit cable trays in
hazardous areas classified by the international zone
system, if the cables comply with the cable requirements
for zone locations.

392.3. Uses Permitted.
Cable Tray.

(E) Nonmetallic

There are limited numbers of applications where
nonmetallic cable trays might be preferred over metallic
cable trays for electrical safety reasons and/or for some
corrosive conditions. An example of an electrical safety
application would be in an electrolytic cell room. Here,
the amperages are very high and significant stray
current paths are present. Under such conditions, there
is the possibility for a 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 Permitted.
This is the only place in the NEC ® where all the
various types of cable tray have limitations on their
place of use. No cable trays can be used in hoistways or
where subject to severe physical damage. The designer
must identify the zones of installation where a cable tray
might be subjected to severe physical damage. Usually
such areas are limited and provisions can be made to
protect the cable tray by relocating it to a more
desirable location or as a last resort to provide
protection using the appropriate structural members.
The second sentence of Section 392.4 states that
cable tray shall not be used in ducts, plenums, and other
air-handling spaces except to support the wiring
methods recognized for use in such spaces. This is not a
restriction on cable tray as long as it is used as a support
for the appropriate cable types.
Metallic cable trays may support cable types approved
for installation in ducts, plenums, and other air-handling
spaces as per Section 300.22(B) and the cable types
approved for installation in Other Space Used for
Environmental Air as per Section 300.22(C).
The second sentence of Section 300.22(C)(1) is as
follows:
Other types of cables and conductors shall be
installed in electrical metallic tubing, flexible
metallic tubing, intermediate metal conduit, rigid
metal conduit without an overall nonmetallic
covering, flexible metal conduit, or, where
accessible, surface metal raceway or metal
wireway with metal covers or solid bottom metal
cable tray with solid metal covers.

This part of Section 300.22(C) is confusing. The
statement as underlined in the above paragraph leads
some to assume, for installations in Other Spaces Used
for Environmental Air, that the types of insulated single
conductors which are installed in raceway installations
may also be installed in solid bottom metal cable trays
with metal covers. This is not so. Only the appropriate
multiconductor cable types as per Section 392.3(A) may
be installed in solid bottom cable trays.
Cable tray may be used to support data process wiring
systems in air handling areas below raised floors as per
Sections 300.22(D) and 800.52(D).

392.5. Construction Specifications. (A)
Strength and Rigidity.
The designer must properly select a structurally
satisfactory cable tray for their installation. This
selection is based on the cable tray's strength, the cable

Cable Tray Systems

tray loading and the spacing of the supports. The
ANSI/NEMA Metallic Cable Tray Systems Standard
Publication VE-1 contains the cable tray selection
information and it is duplicated in Cooper B-Line's
Cable Tray Systems Catalog.

Most cable trays are utilized as continuous beams with
distributed and concentrated loads. Cable trays can be
subjected to static loads like cable loads and dynamic
loads such as wind, snow, ice, and even earthquakes.
The total normal and abnormal loading 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. This total load is
used in the selection of the cable tray.
The following is an explanation of the
‘historical’ NEMA cable tray load classifications
found in ANSI/NEMA VE-1.
There used to be four cable tray support span
categories, 8, 12, 16, and 20 feet, which are coupled
with one of three load designations, "A" for 50 lbs/ft,
"B" for 75 lbs/ft, and "C" for 100 lbs/ft. For example,
a NEMA class designation of 20B identifies a cable tray
that is to be supported at a maximum of every 20 feet
and can support a static load of up to 75 lbs/linear foot.
The cable load per foot is easy to calculate using the
cable manufacturer's literature. If the cable tray has
space available for future cable additions, a cable tray
has to be specified that is capable of supporting the final

Example of Cable Loading per foot:
10 - 3/C No. 4/0 (2.62 lbs/ft)
Total = 26.20 lbs/ft
3 - 3/C No. 250 kcmil (3.18 lbs/ft)
Total = 9.54 lbs/ft
4 - 3/C No. 500 kcmil (5.87 lbs/ft)
Total = 23.48 lbs/ft
Total Weight of the Cables = 59.22 lbs/ft
These cables would fill a 30 inch wide cable tray and
if a 36 inch wide cable tray were used there would be
space available for future cables (See pages 415 thru
421 for information on calculating tray width.). To
calculate the proper cable tray design load for the 36"
wide cable tray multiply 59.22 lbs/ft x 36 inches/30
inches = 71.06 lbs/ft. If this cable tray is installed
indoors, a load symbol "B" cable tray would be
adequate. If there were additional loads on the cable
tray or the cable tray were installed outdoors, it would
be necessary to calculate all the additional potential
loads. The potential load most often ignored is
installation loads. The stresses of pulling large cables
through cable trays can produce 3 times the stress of
the cables' static load. If the installation load is not
evaluated the cable tray may be damaged during
installation. A 16C or 20C NEMA Class should be
specified if large cables are to be pulled.
Even though walking on cable tray is not
recommended by cable tray manufacturers and OSHA
regulations, many designers will want to specify a cable
tray which can support a 200 lb. concentrated load "just
in case". A concentrated static load applied at the
midspan of a cable tray is one of the most stressful
conditions a cable tray will experience. To convert a
static concentrated load at midspan to an equivalent
distributed load take twice the concentrated load and
divide it by the support span [(2 x 200 lbs.)/Span]. The
strength of the rung is also a very important
consideration when specifying a concentrated load. The
rung must be able to withstand the load for any tray
width, as well as additional stresses from cable
installation. Excessive rung deflection can weaken the
entire cable tray system. Cooper B-Line uses heavier
rungs on their wider industrial trays as a standard. Most
cable tray manufacturer's rungs are not heavy enough to
withstand concentrated loads at 36" tray widths.
For outdoor installations a cable tray might be subject
to ice, snow, and wind loading. Section 25 of the
National Electrical Safety Code (published by the

391
Cable Tray Systems

Cable Tray Manual

The NEMA Standard provides for a static load safety
factor of 1.5. A number (Span in Feet - the distance
between supports) and letter (Load in lbs/ft) designation
is used to properly identify the cable tray class on
drawings, in specifications, in quotation requisitions, and
in purchase requisitions to guarantee that the cable tray
with the proper characteristics will be received and
installed. The designer must specify the cable tray type,
the material of construction, section lengths, minimum
bend radius, width, rung spacing (for a ladder type cable
tray), and the total loading per foot for the cables on a
maximum support spacing (See page 420 for cable tray
specifications checklist). For many installations, the
cable trays must be selected so that they are capable of
supporting specific concentrated loads, the weight of
any equipment or materials attached to the cable tray,
ice and snow loading, and for some installations the
impact of wind loading and/or earthquakes must be
considered.

future load. Although these historical load designations
are still useful in narrowing down the choices of cable
trays, NEMA has recently changed the VE-1 document.
ANSI/NEMA VE-1 now requires the marking on the
cable trays to indicate the exact rated load on a
particular span. Trays are no longer limited to the four
spans and three loads listed above. Now, for example, a
tray may be rated for 150 lbs/ft on a 30 ft. span. It is
recommended when specifying cable tray, to specify the
required load, support span and straight section length
to best match the installation.

Cable Tray Manual

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) contains
a weather loading map of the United States to
determine whether the installation is in a light, medium,
or heavy weather load district. NESC Table 250-1
indicates potential ice thicknesses in each loading
district as follows: 0.50 inches for a heavy loading
district, 0.25 inches for a medium loading district, and
no ice for a light loading district. To calculate the ice
load use 57 pounds per cubic foot for the density of
glaze ice. Since tray cables are circular and the cable
tray has an irregular surface the resulting ice load on a
cable tray can be 1.5 to 2.0 times greater than the glaze
ice load on a flat surface.
Snow load is significant for a cable tray that is
completely full of cables or a cable tray that has covers.
The density of snow varies greatly due to its 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 determine
the potential snow falls for the installation area or
consult the local building code for a recommended
design load.
Usually cable trays are installed within structures such
that the structure and equipment shelter the cable trays
from the direct impact of high winds. If wind loading is
a potential problem, a structural engineer and/or the
potential cable tray manufacturer should review the
installation for adequacy. To determine the wind speed
for proper design consult the Basic Wind Speed Map of
the United States in the NESC (Figure 250-2).
For those installations located in earthquake areas,
design engineers can obtain behavioral data for Cooper
B-Line cable trays under horizontal, vertical and
longitudinal loading conditions. Testing done for nuclear
power plants in the 1970's indicates that cable trays act
like large trusses when loaded laterally and are actually
stronger than when loaded vertically. Cable tray
supports may still need to be seismically braced and
designers should consult the Cooper B-Line Seismic
Restraints Catalog for detailed design information.
The midspan deflection multipliers for all B-Line cable
trays are listed in the Cable Tray Systems catalog.
Simply pick your support span and multiply your actual
load by the deflection multiplier shown for that span.
The calculated deflections are for simple beam
installations at your specified load capacity. If a
deflection requirement will be specified, extra care
needs to be taken to ensure that it does not conflict with
the load requirement and provides the aesthetics
necessary. Keep in mind that continuous beam
applications are more common and will decrease the
deflection values shown by up to 50%. Also, aluminum
cable trays will deflect 3 times more than steel cable
trays of the same NEMA class.
To complete the design, the standard straight section
length and minimum bend radius must be chosen. When
selecting the recommended length of straight sections,
be sure that the standard length is greater than or equal
to the maximum support span. Choose a fitting radius
which will not only meet or exceed the minimum bend

radius of the cables but will facilitate cable installation.

selecting the appropriate cable tray length]

Corrosion Protection.
Cable tray shall be protected from corrosion per
Section 300.6, which lists some minimum criteria for
different corrosive environments. The Cooper B-Line
Cable Tray Catalog contains a corrosion chart for cable
tray materials. Cable trays may be obtained in a wide
range of materials including aluminum, pregalvanized
steel, hot dipped galvanized steel (after fabrication),
Type 304 or 316 stainless steel, polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) or epoxy coated aluminum or steel and also
nonmetallic (fiber reinforced plastic). Check with a
metallurgist to determine which metals and coatings are
compatible with a particular corrosive environment. BLine has corrosion information available and may be
able to recommend a suitable material. Remember that
no material is totally impervious to corrosion. Stainless
steel can deteriorate when attacked by certain chemicals
and nonmetallic cable trays can deteriorate when
attacked by certain solvents.

392.5. Construction Specifications. (D) Side
Rails.
The technical infor mation in Article 392 was
originally developed for cable trays with rigid side rails
by the 1973 NEC® Technical Subcommittee on Cable
Tray. “Equivalent Structural Members” was added later
to incorporate new styles of cable tray such as center
rail type tray and ‘mesh’ or wire basket tray.

392.5. Construction Specifications. (E)
Fittings.
This section has been misinterpreted to mean that
cable tray fittings must be used for all changes in
direction and elevation [See Section 392.6(A) Complete
system for further explanation). When two cable tray
runs cross at different elevations, lacing a cable between
the rungs of one tray and dropping into the other is a
common practice which changes the direction of the
cable while providing adequate cable 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.

This type of cable tray is usually made of Fiberglass
Reinforced Plastic (FRP). Applications for FRP cable
tray systems include some corrosive atmospheres and
where non-conductive material is required. Cooper
B-Line fiberglass cable tray systems are manufactured
from glass fiber reinforced plastic shapes that meet
ASTM flammability and self-extinguishing requirements.
A surface veil is applied during pultrusion to ensure a
resin rich surface and increase ultraviolet resistance,
however, for extended exposure to direct sunlight,
additional measures, such as painting the tray, are
sometimes employed to insure the longevity of the
product. Ambient temperature is also a design
consideration when FRP cable tray is used. An ambient
temperature of 100°F will decrease the loading capacity
of polyester resin fiberglass cable tray by 10%.

Cable Tray Systems

Cable Tray Manual

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.
Cable tray is not a raceway in the NEC ® but some
designers, engineers, and inspectors attempt to apply
the requirements for raceway wiring systems to cable
tray wiring systems even when they are not applicable.
Cable tray wiring systems have been used by American
industry for over 35 years with outstanding safety and
continuity of service records. The safety service record of
cable tray wiring systems in industrial facilities has been
significantly better than those of conduit wiring systems.
There have been industrial fires and explosions that have
occurred as a direct result of the wiring system being a
conduit wiring system. In these cases, cable tray wiring
systems would not have provided the fires and
explosions that the conduit systems did by providing as
explosion gas flow path to the ignition source even
though the conduit systems contained seals.
The most significant part of this section is that the
metallic cable tray system must have electrical continuity
over its entire length and that the support for the cables
must be maintained. These requirements can be
adequately met even though there will be installation
conditions where the cable tray is mechanically
discontinuous, such as at a firewall penetration, at an
expansion gap in a long straight cable tray run, where
there is a change in elevation of a few feet between two
horizontal cable tray sections of the same run, or where
the cables drop from an overhead cable tray to enter
equipment. In all these cases, adequate bonding jumpers
must be used to bridge the mechanical discontinuity.

Cables Exiting 480 Volt Outdoor Switchgear
and Entering Cable Tray System (Cable fittings with
clamping glands are required to prevent moisture flow
into equipment due to the cable's overhead entry into
the switchgear enclosure).

Control Cable Entering Pushbutton and Power
Cable Entering Motor Terminal Box from 6 Inch
Channel Cable Tray System (Bottom entries provide

This means that the final cable tray system must be in
place before the cables are installed. It does not mean
that the cable tray must be 100% mechanically
continuous. The electrical bonding of the metallic cable
tray system must be complete before any of the circuits
in the cable tray system are energized whether the cable
tray system is being utilized as the equipment grounding
conductor in qualifying installations or if the bonding is
being done to satisfy the requirements of Section
250.96.

392.6. Installation. (C) Supports.
The intent of this section is to ensure that the
conductor insulation and cable jackets will not be

394
Cable Tray Systems

damaged due to stress caused by improper support.
Multiconductor 600 volt Type TC cables and 300 volt
Type PLTC cables exhibit a high degree of damage
resistance when exposed to mechanical abuse at normal
temperatures.

392.6. Installation. (D) Covers.
Cable tray covers provide protection for cables where
cable trays are subject to mechanical damage. The
most serious hazard to cable in cable trays is when the
cables are exposed to significant amounts of hot metal
spatter during construction or maintenance from torch
cutting of metal and welding activities. For these
exposure areas, the cable tray should be temporarily
covered with plywood sheets. If such exposure is to be a
frequent occurrence, cable tray covers should be
installed in the potential exposure areas. Where cable
trays contain power and lighting conductors, raised or
ventilated covers are preferable to solid covers since the
raised or ventilated covers allow the cable heat to be
vented from the cable tray.
When covers are installed outdoors, they should be
attached to the cable trays with heavy duty wrap
around clamps instead of standard duty clips. During
high winds, the light duty clips are not capable of
restraining the covers. Outdoor cover installations
should be overlapped at expansion joint locations to
eliminate cover buckling. Covers which fly off the cable
tray create a serious hazard to personnel, as was the
case at a Texas gulf coast chemical plant where
operators would not leave their control room because
hurricane force winds had stripped many light gauge
stainless steel covers off a large cable tray system. These
sharp edged metal covers were flying though the air all
during the high wind period, posing a serious threat to
the worker's safety.

Cable Tray Manual

During an inspection of industrial installations by the
1973 NEC® Technical Subcommittee on Cable Tray, a
test setup was constructed of an 18 inch wide Class
20C aluminum cable tray supported three feet above
ground level containing several sizes of multiconductor
cables. This installation was continuously struck in the
same area with eight pound sledge hammers until the
cable tray was severely distorted, the cables however,
exhibited only cosmetic damage. When these cables
were tested electrically, they checked out as new tray
cable. Since that time, significant improvements have
been made in cable jacket and conductor insulation
materials so that the cables available today are of better
quality than the 1973 test cables. Although tray cables
are capable of taking a great deal of abuse without any
problems, cable tray installations must be designed by
taking appropriate measures to ensure that the tray
cables will not be subjected to mechanical damage.

392.6. Installation. (E) Multiconductor
Cables Rated 600 Volts or Less.
Cables containing 300 or 600 volt insulated
conductors may be installed intermingled in the same
cable tray which is different from the requirements for
raceways. This is a reasonable arrangement because a
person may safely touch a 300 or 600 volt cable which
is in good condition, so having the cables come into
contact with each other is not a problem either. Many
cable tray users separate the instrumentation cables
from the power and control cables by installing them in
separate cable trays or by installing barriers in the cable
trays. Often, because of the volume of the
instrumentation cable, using separate cable trays is the
most desirable installation practice.
Numerous cable tray systems have been installed
where the instrumentation cables and branch circuit
cables are installed in the same cable trays with and
without barriers with excellent per for mance and
reliability. Most problems that occur involving

395
Cable Tray Systems

instrumentation circuits are due to improper grounding
practices. For analog and digital instrumentation
circuits, good quality twisted pair Type ITC and Type
PLTC cables with a cable shield and a shield drain wire
should be used. Do not purchase this type of cable on
price alone, it should be purchased because of it's high
quality. Engineers specifying cables should be
knowledgeable of the cable's technical details in order to
design systems which will provide trouble free
operation.

Also, should the cable tray or its supports become
damaged, the tray will not exert forces which could
damage the wall or the penetration.

392.6. Installation. (G) Through Partitions
and Walls.
Whether penetrating fire rated walls with tray cable
only or cable tray and tray cable, the designer should
review with the local building inspector the method he
proposes to use to maintain the fire rating integrity of
the wall at the penetration. Many methods for sealing
fire wall penetrations are available, including bag or
pillow, caulk, cementitious, foam, putty and mechanical
barrier systems.
Many designers prefer to run only the tray cable
through fire rated walls. Sealing around the cables is
easier than sealing around the cables and the cable tray.

Cable tray wiring systems should be designed and
installed with adequate room around the cable tray to
allow for the set up of cable pulling equipment. Also,
space around the cable tray provides easy access for
installation of additional cables or the removal of surplus
cables. Where cable trays are mounted one above the
other, a good rule to follow is to allow 12 to 18 inches
between the underside and the top of adjacent cable
trays or between the structure's ceiling and the top of
the cable tray.

392.6. Installation. (J) Conduits and Cables
Supported from Cable Tray.
For the 1996 NEC®, a significant change was made
in this section. The installations covered in this section
may now only be made in qualifying industrial facilities.

396
Cable Tray Systems

In Section 392.6(J) of the 1993 NEC®, cable tray
installations that supplied support for conduits were not
restricted to qualifying industrial facilities. The 1996
NEC®, Section 392.6(J) text restricts the use of such
installations even though there is no documented history
of problems in non-industrial installations.

Over 99 percent of the conduits supported on cable
trays are the result of conduits being terminated on the
cable tray side rails [See Section 392.8(C)]. For over 40
years, it has been common practice to house the cables
exiting the cable tray in conduits or cable channel where
the distance from the cable tray system to the cable
terminations requires the cable be supported. Several
manufacturers supply UL approved cable tray to conduit
clamps such as the Cooper B-Line 9ZN-1158.
In addition to conduit and cables being supported from
cable tray; industrial companies have been mounting
instrumentation devices, push buttons, etc. on cable tray
and cable channel for over 40 years. This section once
lead some to believe that only conduit or cables may be
supported from cable trays which is not correct as cable
tray is a mechanical support just as strut is a mechanical
support. Because of this, the wording in Section
392.6(J) of the 2002 NEC® was changed. Instead of
allowing only cable and conduit to be supported from
cable tray, the code now states that raceways, cables,
boxes and conduit bodies are now permitted to be
supported from the cable tray. Where boxes or conduit
bodies are attached to the bottom or side of the cable
tray, they must be fastened and supported in accordance
with Section 314.23.

As a result of the change in this section, identical
functional installations in non-qualifying installations
(commercial and industrial) and qualifying industrial
installations have different physical requirements. In a
qualifying industrial installation, a conduit terminated on
a cable tray may be supported from the cable tray. In a
commercial or non-qualifying industrial installation, the
conduit that is terminated on the cable tray must be
securely fastened to a support that is within 3 feet of the
cable tray or securely fastened to a support that is
within 5 feet of the cable tray where structural members
don’t readily permit a secure fastening within 3 feet.
The conduit of the non-qualifying installation still needs
to be bonded to the cable tray. A fitting may be used for
this bonding even though it will not count as a
mechanical support.

All metallic cable trays shall be grounded as required

There are three wiring options for providing an EGC

or on the cable tray. (2) Each multiconductor cable with
its individual EGC conductor. (3) The cable tray itself is
used as the EGC in qualifying facilities.

Correct Bonding Practices To Assure That The
Cable Tray System Is Properly Grounded
If an EGC cable is installed in or on a cable tray, it should be bonded to each or alternate cable tray
sections via grounding clamps (this is not required by the NEC® but it is a desirable practice). In addition to
providing an electrical connection between the cable tray sections and the EGC, the grounding clamp
mechanically anchors the EGC to the cable tray so that under fault current conditions the magnetic forces
do not throw the EGC out of the cable tray.
A bare copper equipment grounding conductor should not be placed in an aluminum cable tray due to
the potential for electrolytic corrosion of the aluminum cable tray in a moist environment. For such
installations, it is best to use an insulated conductor and to remove the insulation where bonding
connections are made to the cable tray, raceways, equipment enclosures, etc. with tin or zinc plated
connectors.

See Table 250.122 on page 419
for the minimum size EGC for
grounding raceway and equipment.

One of the most interesting results of the tests was for
an aluminum cable tray with a corroded joint and only
two nylon bolts. 34,600 amperes for 14 cycles
produced only a 34° C temperature rise at the splice
plate area. If the protective devices work properly, the
temperature rises recorded at the cable tray splices
during these tests would not be sufficient to damage the
cables in the cable tray. Also note that in these tests
only one side rail was used, but in a regular installation,
both side rails would conduct fault current and the
temperature rise at the splice plate areas would be even
lower.
When the cable tray is used as the EGC, consideration
has to be given to the conduit or ventilated channel
cable tray connections to the cable tray so that the
electrical grounding continuity is maintained from the
cable tray to the equipment utilizing the electricity.
Conduit connections to the cable tray were also tested.
At that time, no commercial fittings for connecting
conduit to cable tray were available, so right angle beam
clamps were used with very good results. There are now
UL Listed fittings for connecting and bonding conduit to
cable tray. This test setup and results are shown on
page 414 (Appendix Sheet 2).

Table 392.7(B) "Metal Area Requirements for Cable
Trays used as Equipment Grounding Conductors" shows
the minimum cross-sectional area of cable tray side rails
(total of both side rails) required for the cable tray to be
used as the Equipment Grounding Conductor (EGC) for
a specific Fuse Rating, Circuit Breaker Ampere Trip
Rating or Circuit Breaker Ground Fault Protective Relay
Trip Setting. These are the actual trip settings for the
circuit breakers and not the maximum permissible trip
settings which in many cases are the same as the circuit
breaker frame size. If the maximum ampere rating of
the cable tray is not sufficient for the protective device
to be used, the cable tray cannot be used as the EGC
and a separate EGC must be included within each cable
assembly or a separate EGC has to be installed in or
attached to the cable tray. [See also Section 250-120
for additional information]
The subject of using cable tray for equipment
grounding conductors was thoroughly investigated by
the 1973 NEC ® Technical Subcommittee on Cable
Tray. Many calculations were made and a number of
tests were performed by Monsanto Company Engineers
at the Bussman High Current Laboratory. The test
setup to verify the capability of cable tray to be used as
the EGC is shown in Figure 1 on page 400. The test
amperes available were forced through one cable tray

For a cable tray to be used as an EGC the
manufacturer must provide a label showing the crosssectional area available. This also holds true for some
mechanically constructed cable tray systems such as
Redi-Rail®. Redi-Rail has been tested and UL Classified
as an EGC. Cooper B-Line's label is shown at the top of
page 401.
The cable tray system must be electrically continuous
whether or not it is going to serve as the EGC. At
certain locations (expansion joints, discontinuities, most
horizontal adjustable splice plates, etc.), bonding
jumpers will be required. Section 250.96. Bonding
Other Enclosures states that cable tray shall be
effectively bonded where necessary to assure electrical
continuity and to provide the capacity to conduct safely
any fault current likely to be imposed on them (also see
Sections 250.92(A)(1) & 250.118(12)).
It is not necessary to install bonding jumpers at
standard splice plate connections. The splice connection
is UL classified as an EGC component of the cable tray
system.

provided that the splice kits do not project above the
siderails and that they are accessible. A box or fitting is not
required for a cable splice in a cable tray.

392.8. Cable Installation. (B) Fastened
Securely.
In seismic, high-shock and vibration prone areas, cables
(especially unarmored cables) should be secured to the
cable tray at 1 to 2 foot intervals to prevent the
occurrence of sheath chafing. Otherwise, there is no
safety or technical reason to tie down multiconductor
cables in horizontal cable tray runs unless the cable
spacing needs to be maintained or the cables need to be
confined to a specific location in the cable tray. In nonhorizontal cable tray runs, small multiconductor cables
should be tied down at 3 or 4 foot intervals and larger (1
inch diameter and above) Type MC and Type TC
multiconductor cable should be tied down at 6 foot
intervals. If used outdoors, plastic ties should be sunlight,
ultraviolet (UV), resistant and be made of a material that is
compatible with the industrial environment. Installed
outdoors, white nylon plastic ties without a UV resistant
additive will last 8 to 14 months before breaking. Also
available for these applications are cable cleats, stainless
steel ties and P-clamps.

392.8. Cable installation. (C) Bushed
Conduit and Tubing.
For most installations, using a conduit to cable tray
clamp for terminating conduit on cable tray is the best
method. Where a cable enters a conduit from the cable
tray, the conduit must have a bushing to protect the cable
jacket from mechanical damage; a box is not required
[See Section 300.15(C). Boxes, Conduit Bodies,
or Fittings - Where Required. Where cables enter
or exit from conduit or tubing that is used to
provide cable support or protection against
physical damage. A fitting shall be provided on the
end(s) of the conduit or tubing to protect the wires
or cables from abrasion.]. There are some special
installations where the use of conduit knockouts in the
cable tray side rail for terminating conduit is appropriate.
This would not be a good standard practice because it is
costly and labor intensive, and if randomly used may result
in damaging and lowering the strength of the cable tray.

392.8. Cable Installation. (D) Connected in
Parallel.

One technique to prevent excessive movement of
cables is to employ fault-rated cable cleats.

Section 310.4. Conductors in Parallel. States the
following:

To maintain the minimum distance between
conductors, the single conductor cables should be
securely bound in circuit groups using fault rated cable
cleats. If the cleat spacing is properly chosen according to
the available fault-current, the resulting cable grouping will
inherently maintain a minimum distance between
conductors. These circuit groups provide the lowest
possible circuit reactance which is a factor in determining
the current balance amoung various circuit groups.

Cable Tray Manual

The paralleled conductors in each phase, neutral or
grounded conductor shall:
(1) Be the same length.
(2) Have the same conductor material.
(3) Be the same size in circular mil area.
(4) Have the same insulation type.
(5) Be terminated in the same manner.
Where run in separate raceways or cables, the
raceways or cables shall have the same physical
characteristics. Conductors of one phase, neutral, or
grounded circuit shall not be required to have the same
physical characteristics as those of another phase,
neutral, or grounded circuit conductor to achieve balance.
A difference between parallel conductors in raceways
and those in cable trays is that the conductors in the cable
tray are not derated unless there are more than three
current carrying conductors in a cable assembly [as per
Exception No.2 of Section 310.15(B)(2)(a) and
Section 392.11(A)(1)]. Where the single conductor
cables are bundled together as per Section 392.8(D) and
if there are neutrals that are carrying currents due to the
type of load involved (harmonic currents) it may be
prudent to derate the bundled single conductor cables.
The high amperages flowing under fault conditions in
1/0 and larger cables produce strong magnetic fields
which result in the conductors repelling each other until
the circuit protective device either de-energizes the circuit
or the circuit explodes. Under such fault conditions, the
cables thrash violently and might even be forced out of
the cable tray. This happened at a northern Florida textile
plant where several hundred feet of Type MV single
conductor cable was forced out of a cable tray run by an
electrical fault because the cables were not restrained
properly. This potential safety threat is precisely why
Article 392.8 (D) requires single conductor cables be
securely bound in circuit groups to prevent excessive
movement due to fault-current magnetic forces. For a
three-phase trefoil or triangular arrangement (the most
common single conductor application), these forces can
be calculated according to the formula:
Ft = (0.17 x ip2) / S.
Ft=Maximum Force on Conductor (Newtons/meter)
ip=Peak Short Circuit Current (kilo-Amperes)
S=Spacing between Conductors (meters) = Cable
Outside Diameter for Triplex (trefoil) Installations.

For installations that involve phase conductors of three
conductor or single conductor cables installed in parallel,
cable tray installations have conductor cost savings
advantages over conduit wiring systems. This is because
the conductors required for a cable tray wiring system are
often a smaller size than those required for a conduit
wiring system for the same circuit. No paralleled
conductor ampacity adjustment is required for single
conductor or three conductor cables in cable trays [See
NEC® Section 392.11(A)].
There were changes in the 1993 NEC® and 1996
NEC® for installations where an equipment grounding
conductor is included in a multiconductor cable: the
equipment grounding conductor must be fully rated per
Section 250.122. If multiconductor cables with internal
equipment grounding conductors are paralleled, each
multiconductor cable must have a fully rated equipment
grounding conductor.
Section 250.122 now prohibits the use of standard three
conductor cables with standard size EGCs when they are
installed in parallel and the EGCs are paralleled. There
have been no safety or technical problems due to operating
standard three conductor cables with standard sized EGCs
in parallel. This has been a standard industrial practice for
over 40 years with large numbers of such installations in
service. This change was made without any safety or
technical facts to justify this change.
To comply with Section 250.122, Three options are
available: 1. Order special cables with increased sized
EGCs which increases the cost and the delivery time. 2.
Use three conductor cables without EGCs and install a
single conductor EGC in the cable tray or use the cable
tray as the EGC in qualifying installations. 3. Use standard
cables but don’t utilize their EGCs, use a single conductor
EGC or the cable tray as the EGC in qualifying
installations.
Should industry be required to have special cables
fabricated for such installations when there have been
absolutely no safety problems for over 40 years? Each
designer and engineer must make his own decision on this
subject. If the installations are properly designed, quality
materials are used, and quality workmanship is obtained,
there is no safety reason for not following the past proven
practice of paralleling the EGCs of standard three
conductor cable.

This section states that single conductors in ladder or
ventilated trough cable tray that are Nos. 1/0 through
4/0, must be installed in a single layer.
In addition to the fill information that is in Section
392.10(A)(4), an exception was added which allows the
cables in a circuit group to be bound together rather
than have the cables installed in a flat layer. The
installation practice in the exception is desirable to help
balance the reactance’s in the circuit group. This reduces
the magnitudes of voltage unbalance in three phase
circuits.

Increasing the cable tray side rail depth increases the
strength of the cable tray but the greater side rail depth
does not permit an increase in cable fill area for power
or lighting cables or combinations of power, lighting,
control and signal cables. The maximum allowable fill
area for all cable tray with a 3 inch or greater loading
depth side rail is limited to the 38.9 percent fill area for
a 3 inch loading depth side rail (Example: 3 inches x 6

Where ladder or ventilated trough cable trays contain
multiconductor power or lighting cables, or any mixture
of multiconductor power, lighting, control, or signal
cables, the maximum number of cables that can be
installed in a cable tray are limited to the Table 392.9
allowable fill areas. The cable tray fill areas are related to
the cable ampacities. Overfill of the cable tray with the
conductors operating at their maximum ampacities will
result in cable heat dissipation problems with the
possibility of conductor insulation and jacket damage.

zone in the tray in order to be installed in one layer.
Therefore the cable tray needs to be divided into two
zones (a barrier or divider is not required but one can be
used if desired).

A ladder or ventilated trough cable tray, having a
loading depth of 6 inches or less containing only control
and/or signal cables, may have 50 percent of its crosssectional area filled with cable. If the cable tray has a
loading depth in excess of 6 inches, that figure cannot
be used in calculating the allowable fill area as a 6 inch
depth is the maximum value that can be used for the
cross-sectional area calculation. For an example of the
procedure to use in selecting a cable tray width for the
type of cable covered in this section, see page 418
(Appendix Sheet 6),[Example 392.9 (B)].

The formula for this type of installation is shown in
Column 4 of Table 392.9. This formula is a trial and
error method of selecting a cable tray of the proper
width. A direct method for determining the cable tray
width is available by figuring the cable tray widths that
are required for each of the cable combinations and
then adding these widths together to select the proper

392.11. Ampacity of Cables Rated 2000
Volts or Less in Cable Trays.
(A) Multiconductor Cables.
Ampacity Tables 310.16 and 310.18 are to be used
for multiconductor cables which are installed in cable
tray using the allowable fill areas as per Section 392.9.
The ampacities in Table 310.16 are based on an
ambient temperature of 30˚ Celsius. Conduit and cable
tray wiring systems are often installed in areas where
they will be exposed to high ambient temperatures. For
such installations, some designers and engineers neglect
using the Ampacity Correction Factors listed below the
Wire Ampacity Tables which results in the conductor
insulation being operated in excess of its maximum safe
temperature. These correction factors must be used to
derate a cable for the maximum temperature it will be
subjected to anywhere along its length.

392.11(A)(1)
Section 310.15(B)(2)(a) refers to Section 392.11 which
states that the derating infor mation of Table
310.15(B)(2)(a) applies to multiconductor cables with
more than three current carrying conductors but not to
the number of conductors in the cable tray.

392.11(A)(2)
Where cable trays are continuously covered for more
than 6 feet (1.83m) with solid unventilated covers, not
over 95 percent of the allowable ampacities of Tables
310.16 and 310.18 shall be per mitted for
multiconductor cables.
This is for multiconductor cables installed using Table
392.16 or 392.18. If these cables are installed in cable
trays with solid unventilated covers for more than 6 feet
the cables must be derated. Where cable tray covers are
to be used, it is best to use raised or ventilated covers so
that the cables can operate in a lower ambient
temperature.

392.11(A)(3)
Where multiconductor cables are installed in a single
layer in uncovered trays, with a maintained spacing of
not less than one cable diameter between cables, the
ampacity shall not exceed the allowable ambient
temperature corrected ampacities of multiconductor
cables, with not more than three insulated conductors
rated 0-2000 volts in free air, in accordance with
Section 310.15(C).
By spacing the cables one diameter apart, the
engineer may increase the allowable ampacities of the
cables to the free air rating as per Section 310.15(C)
and Table B-310.3 in Appendix B. Notice that the
allowable fill of the cable tray has been decreased in this
design due to the cable spacing.

CABLE TRAY WIRING SYSTEM DESIGN AND
INSTALLATION HINTS.
Cable tray wiring systems should have a standardized
cabling strategy. Standard cable types should be used
for each circuit type. Most of the following circuits
should be included; feeder circuits, branch circuits,
control circuits, instrumentation circuits, programmable
logic controller input and output (I/O) circuits, low level
analog or digital signals, communication circuits and
alar m circuits. Some cables may satisfy the
requirements for several circuit types. Minimizing the
number of different cables used on a project reduces
installed costs. Some companies have cable standards
based on volume usage to minimize the numbers of
different cables used on a project. For example: if a 6
conductor No. 14 control cable is needed but 7
conductor No. 14 control cable is stocked, a 7
conductor control cable would be specified and the extra
conductor would not be used. Following such a practice
can reduce the number of different cables handled on a
large project without increasing the cost since high
volume cable purchases result in cost savings. Orderly
record keeping also helps provide quality systems with
lower installation costs. The following items should be
included in the project's cable records:
• Cable Tray Tag Numbers - The tagging system
should be developed by the design personnel with
identification numbers assigned to cable tray runs on the
layout drawings. Cable tray tag numbers are used for
controlling the installation of the proper cable tray in
the correct location, routing cables through the tray
system and controlling the cable fill area requirements.
• Cable Schedules - A wire management system is
required for any size project. Cable schedules must be
developed to keep track of the cables. This is especially
true for projects involving more than just a few feeder
cables. A typical cable schedule would contain most or
all of the following:
• The Cable Number, the Cable Manufacturer &
Catalog Number, Number of conductors, the conductor
sizes, and the approximate cable length.
• Cable Origin Location - The origin equipment ID
with the compartment or circuit number and terminals
on which the cable conductors are to be terminated. It
should also include the origin equipment layout drawing

408
Cable Tray Systems

number, and the origin equipment connection diagram
number.
• Cable Routing - Identifies the cable tray sections or
runs that a cable will occupy. Cable tray ID tag numbers
are used to track the routing.
• Cable Termination Location - The device or
terminal equipment on which the cable conductors are
to be terminated. It should also include the termination
equipment layout drawing number, and the termination
equipment connection diagram number.

CABLE TRAY ACCESSORIES.
B-Line manufactures a full line of prefabricated
accessories for all types of B-Line cable trays. The use
of the appropriate accessories will provide installation
cost and time savings. In addition to providing desirable
electrical and mechanical features for the cable tray
system, the use of the appropriate accessories improves
the physical appearance of the cable tray system. Some
of the most common accessories are shown below.

• Cable Installation Provisions - The cable tray system
must be designed and installed, to allow access for cable
installation. For many installations, the cables may be
hand laid into the cable trays and no cable pulling
equipment is required. There are other installations
where sufficient room must be allotted for all the cable
pulling activities and equipment.
The cable manufacturers will provide installation
information for their cables such as maximum pulling
tension, allowable sidewall pressures, minimum bending
radii, maximum per missible pulling length etc..
Lubricants are not normally used on cables being
installed in cable trays.
The engineer and designers should discuss in detail
the installation of the cables with the appropriate
construction personnel. This will help to avoid
installation problems and additional installation costs. It
is important that the cable pull is in the direction that
will result in the lowest tension on the cables. Keep in
mind there also needs to be room at the ends of the
pulls for the reel setups and for the power pulling
equipment. Cable pulleys should be installed at each
direction change. Triple pulleys should be used for 90
degree horizontal bends and all vertical bends. Single
pulleys are adequate for horizontal bends less than 90
degrees. Use rollers in-between pulleys and every 10 to
20 feet depending on the cable weight. Plastic jacketed
cables are easier to pull than are the metallic jacketed
cables and there is less chance of cable damage. The
pulling eye should always be attached to the conductor
material to avoid tensioning the insulation. For
interlocked armor cables, the conductors and the armor
both have to be attached to the pulling eye.
Normally, the cables installed in cable trays are not
subjected to the damage suffered by insulated
conductors pulled into conduit. Depending on the size
of the insulated conductors and the conduit, jamming
can take place which places destructive stresses on the
cable insulation. In the October, 1991 issue of EC]&M
magazine, the article on cable pulling stated that 92
percent of the insulated conductors that fail do so
because they were damaged in installation.

Cable Support Fitting

FIREPROOFING CABLE TRAY
Cable trays should not be encapsulated for fire
protection purposes other than for the short lengths at
fire rated walls unless the cables are adequately derated.
Encapsulation to keep fire heat out will also keep
conductor heat in. If conductors cannot dissipate their
heat, their insulation systems will deteriorate. If the
cable tray will be encapsulated, the cable manufacturer
should be consulted for derating information.

CABLE TRAY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
If the cable tray finish and load capacity is properly
specified and the tray is properly installed, virtually no
maintenance is required.

409
Cable Tray Systems

Cable Tray Manual

Some design consultants and corporate engineering
departments use spread sheets to monitor the cable tray
runs for cable fill. With such a program, the cable tray
fill area values for each cable tray run or section can be
continuously upgraded. If a specified cable tray run or
section becomes over filled, it will be flagged for
corrective action by the designer.

Pre-Galvanized - This finish is for dry indoor
locations. No maintenance is required.

CABLE TRAY. THERMAL CONTRACTION
AND EXPANSION

Hot Dip Galvanized - This finish is maintenance free
for many years in all but the most severe environments.
If components have been cut or drilled in the field, the
exposed steel area should be repaired with a cold
galvanizing compound. Cooper B-Line has a spray on
zinc coating available which meets the requirements of
ASTM A780, Repair of Hot Dip Finishes.

All materials expand and contract due to temperature
changes. Cable tray installations should incorporate
features which provide adequate compensation for
thermal contraction and expansion. Installing expansion
joints in the cable tray runs only at the structure
expansion joints does not nor mally compensate
adequately for the cable tray's thermal contraction and
expansion. The supporting structure material and the
cable tray material will have different thermal expansion
values. They each require unique solutions to control
thermal expansion.

Cable Tray Manual

Aluminum - Our cable tray products are manufactured
from type 6063-T6 aluminum alloy with a natural
finish. The natural oxide finish is self healing and
requires no repair if it is field modified.
Non-metallic - Fabrication with fiberglass is relatively
easy and comparable to working with wood. Any
surface that has been drilled, cut, sanded, or otherwise
broken, must be sealed with a comparable resin.
Polyester or vinyl ester sealing kits are available.
Cable tray should be visually inspected each year for
structural damage i.e., broken welds, bent rungs or
severely deformed side rails. If damage is evident, from
abuse or installation, it is recommended that the
damaged section of cable tray be replaced rather than
repaired. It is much easier to drop a damaged section of
tray out from under the cables than it is to shield the
cables from weld spatter.

NEC® Section 300.7(B) states that 'Raceways shall
be provided with expansion joints where
necessary to compensate for thermal expansion
or contraction.' NEC® Section 392 does not address
thermal contraction and expansion of cable tray. One
document which addresses expansion is the NEMA
Standards Publication No. VE 2, Section 4.3.2. NEMA
VE-2 Table 4-2 shows the allowable lengths of steel and
aluminum cable tray between expansion joints for the
temperature differential values.

For a 100°F differential (winter to summer), a steel cable tray will require
an expansion joint every 128 feet and an aluminum cable tray every 65
feet. The temperature at the time of installation will dictate the gap setting.

Gap Setting Of Expansion Splice Plate

Setting of the Expansion Joint Splice Plate is used as
follows per the example indicated in VE-2 Figure
4.13B.
Step 1. Plot the highest expected cable tray metal
temperature during the year on the maximum
temperature vertical axis. Example's Value: 100 Degrees
F.

As a clamp.

As a guide.

Another item essential to the operation of the cable
tray expansion splices is the type of hold down clamps
used. The cable tray must not be clamped to each
support so firmly that the cable tray cannot contract and
expand without distortion. The cable tray needs to be
anchored at the support closest to the midpoint
between the expansion joints with hold down clamps
and secured by expansion guides at all other support
locations.The expansion guides allow the cable tray to
slide back and forth as it contracts and expands.
Supports must also be located on both sides of an
expansion splice. The supports should be located within
two feet of the expansion splice to ensure that the splice
will operate properly. If these guidelines for cable tray
thermal contraction and expansion are not followed,
there is the potential for the cable trays to tear loose
from their supports, and for the cable trays to bend and
collapse.

Step 2. Plot the lowest expected cable tray metal
temperature during the year on the minimum
temperature vertical axes. Example's Value: - 28
Degrees F.
Step 3. Draw a line between these maximum and
minimum temperature points on the two vertical axis.
Step 4. To determine the required expansion joint
gap setting at the time of the cable tray's installation:
Plot the cable tray metal temperature at the time of the
cable tray installation on the maximum temperature
vertical axis (Example's Value: 50 Degrees F). Project
over from the 50 Degrees F point on the maximum
temperature vertical axis to an intersection with the line
between the maximum and minimum cable tray metal
temperatures. From this intersection point, project
down to the gap setting horizontal axis to find the
correct gap setting value (Example's Value: 3/8 inch gap
setting). This is the length of the gap to be set between
the cable tray sections at the expansion joint.

The plotted High - Low Temperature Range in Figure

feet for Steel and every 52 feet for Aluminum cable
tray.
