Cost & Space Savings

Safety (related) Savings

*Design & Engineering Cost Savings

Installation Cost and Time SavingsYou Wont Break the Bank Using Our Product!

*Compared to conduit

Design & Construction

Made from cold rolled high strength steel wire with pre-galvanized loops

(AISI type 304/316 stainless steel are both available)

Designed for flexibility, safety & assembly

Eliminates need for cutting or bending

Codes & Standards

Electrical Equipment & Grounding

Cable Tray Systems must provide protection to:

Life & Property against faults caused by electrical disturbances

Lighting and failures which are part of the system

Failure for equipment connected to the system

To drain off excessive high voltages

Let’s look at basic Codes and Standards

What is (Electrical) Code?

The National Electrical Code (NEC)Standard for Electrical Safety Installation of Electrical Wiring

Codifies (collects and classifies) the minimum requirements for safe electrical installations

The NEC is not in itself a U.S. law

It is commonly mandated by state/local law

Local jurisdictions/code enforcement inspect for compliance

NEC – National Electric Code (NFPA-70)

Codifies the requirements for safe electrical installations

• Started in 1897

• Published and updated every 3 years

• Deals solely with Electrical Safety

Brief Description of Cable Trays A Mechanical Support (Management) System

Used for:Insulated electrical cables in:

Power Distribution/Communications

As an alternative to open wiring (electrical conduit systems)

Made of galvanized steel or stainless steel

They are NOT Raceways (An enclosed channel of metal or non metallic design)

Trays can be made of aluminum or reinforced glass fiber but are combustible!

M.E.2 Cable Trays

Standard Cost Effective System!

Strong & Rigid Ø.187 zinc-plated steel wire

Welded in a 2” X 4” grid

Available in 7’ of 10’ lengths (configured at the installation site)

2” or 4” deep trays

6”-8”-12”-18”-24” widths offer a variety of channel routing

Open grid design prevents dirt dust build-up found in closed cable trays

Ø = DiameterActs as a continuous ground conductor; no grounding splices

Straight Section

M.E.2 Cable Trays

Changes in direction are made with cutting and bending the trays to meet needs.

Can be mounted on walls, post, ceilings or installed under raised flooring.

Metal tray dividers are available for cable separation.

What Are Zinc Whiskers?

Tiny growths These form on the surfaces of objects that are electroplated, or galvanized, with zinc.

When present on circuit boards:Can cause short circuits that are difficult to diagnose.

The frequent movement of air and cables being installed or removed from the tray will easily dislodge the tiny filaments

Particles disintegrate when a short circuit occurs

To Avoid Zinc Whiskers

Products should be:Stainless Steel

Powder –Coated Finish

The Bottom Line!

Whiskers can grow on ANY Zinc Coated Surface

That includes Cadmium Coated Surface/Hardware

SOLUTION: A Hybrid cold-rolled steel with stainless steel loops and powder coating

Stainless Bonding Points Powder Coated Steel

A Better Solution: Hybrid Product – Powder Coated / Stainless Bonding & Hardware

Smooth Edges

NEC – Section 392.5 (B)“Cable Trays shall not have sharp edges, burrs, or projections that could damage the insulation or jackets of the wiring”.

Field cuts can cause loss of UL® Classification

UL Does NOT Approve Field Modified Parts

Product modified after leaving factory may not comply with safety requirements

UL is unable to determine if product continues to comply

Section 392.7 (A) Metallic Cable Trays

Along with 250.96 requires:

Cable tray systems that support electrical conductors to be electrically continuous.

Effectively bonded and grounded.(Whether mechanically, continuous or with isolated segments.)

Is losing your UL® listing worth it?

No Field Cutting Or Bending Required

Field modified tray systems may suffer loss of:

Load Performance

Electrical Performance*

Safety Performance

Any cutting/bending during installation may jeopardize UL™ classification and require re-inspection!

* Especially where the system functions as an equipment ground conductor

2011 NEC Article 392.60 (A)

“Metal cable trays containing only non-powder conductors shall be electrically continuous through approved connections or the use of

bonding jumper not smaller than 10 AWG”

Wiremaid’s PRO-10™ cable tray system:Is the ONLY product on the market with our unique built in self bonding mechanism

Assures a UL Classified bond at the same time tray sections and/or fittings are spliced together

Bonding/Splicing built into every part. The only hardware required is a common bolt and nut!

Bolt & Nut supplied with every tray
