Do ground-mounted cable trays need to be grounded

Home / Do ground-mounted cable trays need to be grounded

The conductive supporting structure for the wires needs complete, comprehensive protection. And the work itself is carried out in full compliance with the standards that are in SNiP. 96 regardless of whether or not the cable tray is being used as an equipment grounding conductor (EGC). The flexibility and scalability of cable trays make them an ideal choice for environments where cable density and organization can significantly impact operational efficiency. But, how do you make sure your grounding system works as it should? Let's dive in.
