Guide To Choosing A Cable Tray

Guide To Choosing A Cable Tray

Cable trays are primarily used for cable management when new wiring is required. Professionals also prefer to use cable trays instead of pulling wires through pipes. Besides supporting insulated electric cables, our cable trays can also be used as electrical conduit systems. With our extensive experience, we provide a complete solution for cable management systems &#; including design, manufacturing, and technical support. Our high-quality cable support systems enable us to provide world-class cable management solutions.

Why Are Cable Trays Being Used? 

 

Pinax cable tray management is available in a variety of finishes such as aluminium or steel. Straight sections are available in a number of lengths and bottom types, as well as a wide range of fittings, covers, and accessories to meet all installation requirements.

 

Enhanced safety

Cable ladders are much safer to install than conduits since energized parts are less likely to be exposed. It is easier to connect the cables in a cable ladder system than to pull the cables through the conduit after termination.

 

Increased adaptability

It is more important than ever for businesses to be flexible &#; to expand facilities quickly, to introduce new processes or products according to market demand. The flexibility of cable ladders to changing demands and technologies is a significant benefit. Cables can enter or exit the ladder at any point, making modifications, redesigns, or expansions a simple task. There is no need to replace the entire system, ensuring minimal disruption to site activity.

 

Reduced costs

With Pinax cable ladders, cost savings can be realized by lowering installation, engineering, and maintenance costs, reducing the need to reconfigure whenever requirements change, and also reducing downtime. Environmental problems can be reduced as well, since power loss to essential equipment results in fewer environmental problems.

 

Low maintenance

Cable ladder wiring systems need less maintenance than conduit systems. In case of routine servicing, it tends to be easier, less labour intensive and takes less time to complete.

 

First-class support

With straight sections, fittings, covers, etc., Pinax provides complete, versatile cable management solutions for all kinds of buildings and environments.

Straight section and Fittings

The sections are prefabricated from steel or aluminum and are connected by transverse rungs. All installation options are available in a range of materials, lengths, and bottom types. The section is supplied complete with splice plates so it can be connected to other sections, fittings, etc. Cable ladder fittings include bends, reducers, tees, wyes, and crosses that change a cable ladder&#;s direction, elevation, or size based on building design/cable run limitations. We offer two distinct aluminum cable ladder systems: H-style and U-style. The two systems can be used interchangeably.

With straight sections and fittings, cable ladder installations can follow existing or planned cable runs for new projects or existing buildings.

 

Covers

Depending on the material and width of the cable ladder, covers are available to provide mechanical protection and should be installed where falling objects may damage cable runs or where pedestrians or vehicles may access the ladders. You can choose from solid, ventilated, or peaked roof styles.

 

Accessories

Straight sections and fittings can be supplemented with a wide variety of accessories and supports, including drop-outs, hold-down clamps, splice plates, and barrier strips. Suitable for straight sections and fittings, barrier strips can be adjusted from side to side.

 

Things To Consider While Selecting A Cable Tray

 

1. Weight of the installation &#; It affects the cost of the support structure and the ease of installation.

 

1. The corrosion resistance of the material is one of the most important selection criteria. 

Cable ladder materials may react differently in different conditions. 

 

For instance, certain grades of stainless steel, may be resistant to salt water at high flow rates yet display some corrosion chipping in standing salt water. Several factors affect the corrosion resistance of a cable ladder system in a particular application, which can only be quantified by the designer.

 

1. Melting point and flammability classification &#; If specified performance criteria are not met, local building rules may prohibit the usage of a certain product.

 

1. Thermal expansion must also be considered over a large cable run, especially in places with high temperature variations. If the temperature difference is 25°F or more, expansion connections may be necessary.

 

1. The relative cost fluctuates greatly, including material prices that fluctuate in tandem with the commodities index. Stainless steel pricing, for example, can vary dramatically depending on market fluctuations.

Perforated Gi Cable Tray Hanging Installation

Choosing the right GI (Galvanized Iron) cable tray involves considering various factors to ensure it meets your specific requirements. Here is an ultimate guide to help you make an informed decision:

 

1.Understand your requirements

Begin by understanding your cable management needs. Determine the purpose of the cable tray, the types of cables it will accommodate, the anticipated load capacity, and any environmental considerations.

2.Types of Gi cable trays

Familiarize yourself with the different types of cable trays available, such as ladder, perforated, wire mesh, or solid-bottom trays. Each type has its own advantages and is suitable for specific applications. Consider factors like cable support, ventilation, and accessibility when choosing a type.

3.Load capacity

Determine the maximum weight the cable tray needs to support. Consider the weight of the cables and any additional equipment or accessories that will be installed on the tray. Ensure that the chosen tray has the appropriate load capacity to handle the anticipated weight.

4.Gi Cable Tray size and dimensions

Evaluate the quantity and size of the cables that will be installed in the tray. Calculate the width, depth, and height requirements based on the number and diameter of the cables. Select a cable tray size that provides sufficient space for cable routing and future expansion if needed.

5.Environmental conditions

Assess the environment where the cable tray will be installed. Consider factors such as temperature, humidity, corrosive substances, and exposure to moisture or outdoor elements. Choose a GI cable tray that is designed to withstand the specific environmental conditions of the installation site.

GI Perforated Cable Tray can be customized

6.Material and finish

GI cable trays are made from galvanized iron, but consider the quality of the galvanization process. Look for trays that have undergone hot-dipped galvanization, as it provides a thicker and more durable zinc coating. This ensures better corrosion resistance and longevity.

 7.Compliance with standards

Verify that the GI cable tray complies with relevant industry standards and certifications. Look for certifications such as NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association), UL (Underwriters Laboratories), or IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) to ensure product reliability and safety.

8.Gi Cable Tray Cost and budget

Compare the costs of different GI cable trays while considering your budget. However, prioritize quality and suitability over cost savings alone. Balance your requirements with the available budget to make the most appropriate choice.

9.Manufacturer's reputation

Research the reputation and reliability of the manufacturer or supplier. Look for reviews, testimonials, and their experience in providing cable management solutions. A reputable manufacturer is more likely to offer high-quality products and reliable customer support.

10.Easy of Installation

Gi Cable Tray is lightweight and has a modular design, making it easy to handle and install. It can be easily customized to fit specific space requirements and allows for efficient installation.

Summary

By considering these factors, you can choose the right GI cable tray that meets your specific needs in terms of load capacity, size, environmental suitability, installation method, standards compliance, and budget. It is advisable to consult with a professional or an electrical engineer for further guidance, especially for complex or large-scale installations.
