Load-bearing capacity of technical cable trays

CABLE TRAY SYSTEMS GUIDE

Commonly called the Load Class, this defines the load-carrying capability of the tray for a specific support span distance. The design and cost of the cable tray is greatly affected by this designation.

TECHNICAL AND SIZING DATA

By loading this tray more heavily, the designer must be careful not to exceed the total cable capacity as outlined in the Canadian Electrical Code (See following section on ladder tray sizing).

This tool takes into account cable weight, environmental factors, safety margins, and dynamic loads to provide accurate load requirements. Whether you are designing

Cable Tray Selection Process

Heavy power cables often require greater cable bearing area due to the possibility of creep in the jacket material of the cable. If this is a concern, consult the cable manufacturer.
