The depth dimension of cable trays, also referred to as height or rail height, measures the vertical distance from the tray bottom to the top of the side rails.
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®
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.
Some applications may require the cable tray to support the weight of a single, dead object in addition to the cable loads. Specifications typically require this to be applied at the midpoint of the span between
This standard specifies the requirements for nonmetallic cable trays and associated fittings designed for use in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Part 1, and the National
