Common cable trays are made of galvanized,, aluminum, or glass-fiber reinforced plastic. The material for a given application is chosen based on where it will be used. Galvanized tray may be made of pre-galvanized steel sheet fabricated into tray, or may be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. When galvanized tray is cut to length in the field, usually the cut surface will be painted with a zinc-rich compound to protect the metal from corrosion.
Several types of tray are used in different applications. A solid-bottom tray provides the maximum protection to cables, but requires cutting the tray or using fittings to enter or exit cables. A deep, solid enclosure for cables is called a cable channel or cable trough. A ventilated tray has openings in the bottom of the tray, allowing some air circulation around the cables, water drainage, and allowing some dust to fall through the tray. Small cables may exit the tray throug.
NEC Article 392 covers the requirements for cable tray systems, including the types of trays recognized, which wiring methods can be installed in them, where they can and cannot be used, how they must be supported, and the rules for grounding, cable fill, and ampacity. Cable Types: Only use conductors rated for open-air environments, such as Tray Rated (Type TC) or Metal-Clad (Type MC) cables.

Cable trays, supports, and clamps that hold single-core cables must avoid forming closed magnetic circuits; non-magnetic clamps made of copper tape or nylon should be preferred. Furthermore, eddy current loss is inversely proportional to the square of the cable spacing. Many modern buildings rely on cable trays to carry a lot of power and data lines. But with more and more cables and longer use, cables getting too hot is a big issue. Eddy currents are circular electric currents induced. | Jayson Patrick | 25 comments How to Avoid Severe Heating of Metal Cable Trays The eddy currents from. Metal trays also have electromagnetic effects that impact cable ampacities including increased cable conductor resistance caused by the flow of induced current in the metal tray and heat-generating eddy currents. These losses occur when a conductive material experiences a changing magnetic field, inducing circular currents within the material that generate. High-current power cables, motor drives, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and densely packed control wiring can contribute significantly to the temperature rise on the plant floor.
