Steel cable used as braces, typically 45 degrees to the cable tray or ladder, used to restrain both the transverse and longitudinal loads. The bracing system was designed to meet building code requirements in addition to the owner's design criteria. 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.

Typical supports for piping, trays, and other equipment are designed for the gravity, or vertical, loads but do not take into account the horizontal loading caused by earthquakes. Earthquakes and seismic events can cause severe damage to electrical infrastructure, including cable trays, leading to outages and even safety hazards. Cable tray and conduit systems have consistently performed well at conventional power and industrial facilities subjected to past strong-motion earthquakes larger than eastern U. For over 60 years, the mechanical, electrical, and fire protection trades have relied on TOLCO seismic bracing solutions. The cable tray system represented a large distributed mass that was supported between the top of the equipment cabinets and the roof framing.

Application: Electrical conduits with an inner diameter of ≥60 mm; cable ladders with a gravity load of ≥150 N/m (industry standard for strong current cable trays width ≥ 200, weak current cable trays width ≥ 300), cable trays, bus ducts. In practical terms, the cable tray design team needs the project-specific seismic criteria, not just a vague statement that the building is in a seismic area. According to the " GB50981-2014 Code for Seismic Design of Building Mechanical and Electrical Engineering", seismic bracing for piping and cable trays in power systems is required if one of the following two conditions is met: The inner diameter of the electrical conduit is greater than or equal to. First, lateral braces, also called transverse braces, are installed across or perpendicular to the system. One of the primary considerations in seismic design is the structural integrity of the cable tray. The tray should be able to resist the lateral and vertical forces imposed by the earthquake without collapsing or failing. Seismic bracing, typically made of high-strength metal, is key component specifically designed to enhance the stability and safety of cable tray systems during earthquakes.

For over 60 years, Eaton has manufactured TOLCO seismic bracing and B-Line series cable tray, strut systems, pipe hangers and more that support electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection applications. We have decades of experience with real-world applications in severe seismic zones, supplying orld-class products and solutions. Our strong legacy includes OSHPD OPA and OPM approvals, Structural Engineer approvals, and compliance with Internation-al Building. Founded in 2006 as a subsidiary of Çemesan Group, which has been operating in the steel industry for nearly 40 years, Eurotray is an established steel manufacturer with production facilities in Turkey and a subsidiary company in Germany. The B-Line series seismic bracing cable kits, featuring the patented KwikWireTM tool-less clamp, are up to 50% faster to install over traditional cable bracing methods.

To calculate the size of the cut-out in the cable tray in this situation you divide the distance between sets by the width of the cable tray ie. The right cable tray sizing calculator helps engineers turn cable schedules into a verified tray width and fill check before material ordering and site installation. IEC 61537 covers cable tray and cable ladder systems for the support and accommodation of cables, while NEC Article 392 governs cable. Our product is both CSA and UL certified, and utilizes the latest innovations in manufacturing techniques. All illustrations, descriptions and technical information included in this document are provided as indications and can cable trays are equivalent. The mechanical and electrical characteristics, tests, certifications, overall quality management, recommendations mentioned.
