With 3D cable tray modeling, engineers and contractors can view the entire overhead system in one coordinated model. Cable tray (or cable ladder) systems are a popular alternative to electrical conduit systems, as they have an outstanding record for dependable service, design flexibility and cost savings in commercial and industrial applications. Trays must follow strict elevations, maintain separation from cooling paths, and support redundant power. ABB designs and manufactures cable tray systems, including perforated tray, cable ladder, channel tray and strut (metal framing), directly from production facilities in Canada and Saudi Arabia. A spread sheet based wiring management program may be used to control the cable fills in the cable tray. An effective layout ensures safety, minimizes interference, reduces maintenance time, and keeps the overall.
