One of the advantages of cable tray systems is ease of inspection and modification, but this requires a structured maintenance approach: Perform periodic visual inspections to check for signs of corrosion, mechanical damage, loose supports, or overloaded sections. This field modification can usually be avoided by selecting a cable tray with 12 or 18-inch rung spacing. B-Line series KwikRail cable tray systems feature rungs with patented fastener holes, allowing installers to. maintain spacing or to keep cables in place when the tray is ect the minimum bend ra-dius for cables as they exit the bottom of the cable tray. A rung spacing of 6 to 9 inches (150 to 230 mm) is preferable when the cable tray cont d for instrumentation and control applications that require. Typically, cable tray and conduit runs are modified frequently during the design process due to architectural or structural changes, or modifications to the system requirements. For example, if the architect increases the overall size of the building, the cable tray layout needs to be modified to. Cable tray systems provide a safe, organized, and flexible method for supporting insulated conductors and cables in commercial and industrial electrical installations. But old ways of building them can cause issues. Learn about ladder, perforated, solid-bottom, wire mesh, and channel trays in this complete guide.
