Cable Tray Width
Notes:
#1. Cable diameter's used are those for Okonite-
Okolon 600 volt single conductor power cables.
#2. 42 inch wide is ladder cable tray only.
#3. Such installations are to be made only in qualifying
industrial facilities as per Sections 392.3(B) &
(B)(1).
#4. To avoid problems with unbalanced voltages, the
cables should be bundled with ties every three feet
or four feet. The bundle must contain the circuit's
three phase conductors plus the neutral if one is
used.
#5. The single conductor cables should be firmly tied to
the cable trays at six foot or less intervals.
