Safety Measures for Cable Trays in Low Voltage Shafts and Vertical Shafts
The primary rulebook used in the safe use of cable trays is NEC Article 392. This is a description of how to select, install, and support these metal or plastic frames, on which electrical wires are installed. 305(a)(3), or comparable standards promulgated by States operating OSHA-approved State plans. When properly selected and installed, cable trays simplify routing, improve accessibility, and support future expansion while. Cable trays can be part of a planned cable management system to support, route, protect, and provide a pathway for cable systems. Improper installation can lead to cable damage, overheating, structural collapse, and severe safety hazards.
