Can instrument tubing be ran in cable tray?

you need cable tray rated wire to use in a cable try a cable tray is basically open to air so the current rating of the wire doesnt need to be reduced if you have more than 4 conductors cable tray rated tubing is fine( temperature flammability) steel or copper is fine.


What is min vertical distance between data cables tray and low voltage cable tray?

Actually, a data cable tray is a low voltage cable tray also. Data systems are accepted as low voltage systems. Ordinary two data cables do not form any magnetic disturbance to each other. So for an ordinary situation no vertical or horizantal distance required.


How can you lay earthing strip on cable tray?

no use laying an earthing strip in a cable tray better tap both the ends of the earthing wire to the trunking,it will save your wire also,or lay out a cable in the other trunking where you have low voltage wire running in.


How do you calculate armoured cable cross-sectional area?

For electrical purposes the formula for calculating the circular-mil area of a circular wire is very simple. A = D squared, Area equals diameter of the cable or wire squared. This calculation is needed when pulling cables into a cable tray so as not to overfill the tray. Over filling a cable tray will build up a heat from the cables if proper ventilation between the cables is not maintained.

What is the the basis for cable tray sizing to NEC?

The sizing of cable trays in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) is typically based on the maximum allowable fill capacity of cables within the tray. The NEC provides guidelines on the maximum fill capacity based on factors such as cable type, size, and insulation. It is important to follow these guidelines to ensure safe and efficient cable management within the tray.
