Cable Tray Support Span Distance

With unmatched quality and service we offer a variety of styles materials and finishes available to support virtually any commercial and industrial cable management application requirement.

Cable tray support span distance.

Cable support systems in the international world iec61537 2004. As the industry leader in cable tray eaton offers one of the widest ranges of b line series cable management solutions available in the market today. The maximum cable load allowed on the system is called the load capacity. Support spans support span is the distance between the supports.

6 cable ladder and cable tray systems including channel support systems and other associated supports definitions and abbreviations accessory component used for a supplementary function e g. The nema standard. This classification is based on the working load the total weight of the cables and the support span the distance between supports. Cable tray support span the distance between the center lines of supports.

Section 2 manufacturing standards 2 1 materials. Cantilever bracket trapeze single rod suspension. Cable supports should be applied either side of the bend. To join two components together clamp or fix to walls ceilings or other supports covers and cable retainers associated supports bespoke supports for cable tray and cable ladder other than bs 6946 channel.

The nema classes are based on cable loads of 50 75 and 100 per lineal foot. Span the distance between supports and load the maximum cable weight dictate the load capacity of a cable support system. For flexible systems where the cable is not directly fixed to the support system for example a j hanger installation calculations need to be undertaken to determine the required distance between the cable support positions to achieve a set deflection off set. In the case of electrical products such as cable tray or ladder which are load rated in kilograms per metre the span is the distance between support points separate from the overall length of the tray or ladder itself.

Cable tray systems 1 3 tec nema class hnical data the nema classifications for cable tray were established to simplify and standardize the specification of cable tray. Different standards may use different terms when referring to load capacity but it all boils down to span and cable weight. Support load calculation per iec 61537 one or more spans iec 61537 7 3i. Support of cable tray and ladder is typically done in the same fashion as us installations but generally has fewer restrictions as to loading design.

Support points are often trapezes suspended from threaded rod cantilever brackets or other strut systems. This is the total weight of cables in the tray.
