Home / What quota should be applied to cable tray support arms
Cable tray support quantity can be calculated using a simple formula: Support Quantity = Total Length ÷ Support Spacing + 1 20 ÷ 2 + 1 = 11 supports In a typical project, a 20-meter cable tray with 2-meter spacing requires 11 supports. When developing our cable support OBO can offer reliable solutions for systems, three attributes are at the routing and fastening cables securely core of what we do: efficiency, resil- for each of these installation challeng-ience and safety. What Is IEC 61537 and Why Does It Matter? IEC 61537 is the internationally recognized benchmark for metal cable tray systems. It applies to cable trays made of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or other metallic materials. 8 (Other Mechanical Stresses (AJ)) in that document provides requirements for cable support. This publication is intended as a practical guide for the proper and safe* installation of cable ladder systems, cable tray systems, channel support systems and associated supports.
The contractor could have broken these cables up into multiple cable trays to lessen the weight however he chose to run them all in one, perhaps to save on cable tray cost. If that''s the case
