96, even if the tray isn't being used as an equipment grounding conductor (EGC). Cable tray grounding is an indispensable aspect of electrical installations that plays a pivotal role in ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency. It instructs us on how to construct them, where to locate them, and how to stuff them with wires without using too much. But, how do you make sure your grounding system works as it should? Let's dive in.
