How long should a cable tray be before adding an expansion joint

How long should a cable tray be before adding an expansion joint

Steel trays >30 m straight run require expansion joints; aluminium >15 m. As cables and trays expand or contract, they can cause stress on the structure, leading to potential damage or misalignment. The cable trays must not be clamped to each support so firmly that the cable tray cannot expand without distortion. maintain spacing or to keep cables in place when the tray is ect the minimum bend ra-dius for cables as they exit the bottom of the cable tray. A rung spacing of 6 to 9 inches (150 to 230 mm) is preferable when the cable tray cont d for instrumentation and control applications that require. The mechanical and electrical characteristics, tests, certifications, overall quality management, recommendations mentioned in this technical guide only apply to our own cable management ranges and cannot under any circumstances be transposed to si osure, overheating or.
