Maximum installation distance of cable trays

Home / Maximum installation distance of cable trays

Support spacing for cable trays must align with the manufacturer's instructions, as outlined in NEC 392. Generally, standard trays require supports every 6 to 10 feet, while heavy-duty, long-span trays can handle distances of up to 20 feet between supports. The spacing between trays, whether horizontal or vertical, depends on various factors like cable type, environment, and tray material. Proper installation can significantly reduce electromagnetic interference, prevent fire hazards, and improve overall efficiency. Installation should only be attempted by site personnel well versed in provincial and federal electrical.
