Can fire protection and low-voltage electrical wiring be routed through a single cable tray

Can fire protection and low-voltage electrical wiring be routed through a single cable tray

This means routing must be through dedicated, fire-resisting cable support systems – no sharing trays. This guidance covers the routing of secondary supply cables from a life safety generator to the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch), and the final equipment with reference to: The goal: clarify requirements for the diverse cable routing and maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions for systems. Zip-tying or wrapping low-voltage cabling (data, access control, alarm, video) onto active sprinkler lines violates NFPA and NEC intent, creates hazards, and can fail an AHJ inspection. Security and communications systems do not normally require enhanced fire resistance unless they are part of the life safety strategy (e. LV and ELV circuits must be segregated or insulated for the highest voltage present. The electrical designer could deem it appropriate to rely on the plasterboard ceiling to provide fire protection to the wiring system in order to prevent premature collapse. However, many influences should be considered such as building size, complexity and evacuation time.
