Due to their exposure to the open air because of the cable trays, the wires contained within need a very durable outer covering. The regulations dictate that the cables must either be Type TC (also known as Tray Rated) or must be metal-armored (Type MC). Through NEMA and the Cable Tray Institute numerous articles, standards, and other general guidance can be found regarding the proper use and installation of cable tray systems. This is a description of how to select, install, and support these metal or plastic frames, on which electrical wires are installed. The mechanical and electrical characteristics, tests, certifications, overall quality management, recommendations mentioned in this technical guide only apply to our own cable management ranges and cannot under any circumstances be transposed to si osure, overheating or.
