Home / Cable tray cutting expansion joint
A typical cable‑tray expansion joint can accommodate 20 mm of movement (safety factor included). Lmax=Joint capacity/Expansion per metre For projects where the historical extreme temperature difference is known, select the spacing accordingly. The cable trays must not be clamped to each support so firmly that the cable tray. The following pages address the 2014 National Electrical Code® requirements for cable tray systems as well as design. Considering a 100m cable bus system under normal site conditions, an Aluminum housing would expand 18cm.
These custom fittings minimized stresses on the power cables, while eliminating the need to do any field cutting. Overall, the features provided by Superior Tray contributed to a system design that perfectly
