HOME / Standard dimensions of vertical supports for cable trays - Automation Authority Telecom & Energy Systems
To install the cable tray supports, first find the required elevation from the floor to the bottom of the cable tray and establish a level line with a laser or a nylon string.
This Vertical Support elevates the cable tray off the floor to allow for free air flow. Easily snaps on to pedestal supports.
The load capacity of the cable trays according to the support width can be read off in the diagram using load curves – here, shown as an example for a cable tray with the tray widths 100 to 600 mm.
Cable tray length is selected based on the load to be supported, the distance between the supports (also referred to as the span), and handling and installation constraints.
Explore standard sizes by tray type, understand width and depth limits, and see how to calculate and choose compliant cable tray sizes for real projects.
This guide covers the critical steps, from selecting the right electrical cable tray and performing accurate cable fill calculations to managing a safe cable pull through and ensuring all bonding and grounding
Some of these criteria include the required load that the cable tray must support, the distance between the cable tray supports, and ease of handling and installation.
Explore the essential cable tray support spacing requirements for safe and efficient installations. Learn NEC guidelines for perforated, ladder, and wire mesh trays.
NEMA VE 1-2017 Specifies requirements for metal cable trays and associated fittings designed for use in accordance with the rules of Canadian Electrical Code, Part I and the National Electrical Code®
With a support span of 20'' and a total working load of 80 lbs/ft, a NEMA Class 20B tray rated at 75 lbs/ft will not be adequate. A NEMA Class 20C tray, rated at 100 lbs/ft, will be required.
