3Cable ladder consists of two longitudinal side rails connected by rungs. SFSP‘s ladderdesigns are very popular due to their versatility and lower costs. They also provide:maximum ventilation for conductor cooling, smooth edges on side rails and rungs toprotect cables, and slots for easy cable fastening when required.Various rung spacings are available to provide support for most cables, from small flexiblecables to the most rigid interlocked armor power cable. Rungs are of two types: plain andslotted, and can be mounted upwards or downwards (see drawing on page 4). The 30 cmrung spacing is the most popular since it provides support for the widest range of cablesizes.

Advantages of Cable Ladder System

• Increased cable fill over other wiring methods cansave material costs and installation labor.

• Increased conductor ampacities due to full ventilationcan provide significant savings in conductor costs.

• Cable ladder takes up less space and requires lesslabor than comparable conduit and wire systems.

• Increased support spans up to 3 meters save materialand labor costs for supports.

• Metallic cable ladders can be used as an equipmentground conductor.

• Cables can enter or exit (drop out) at any point inthe cable ladder system without expensive boxes or fittings.

• Cable splices are permitted within a cable laddersystem provided that they are accessible and do notproject above the top of the tray.

• Future cables can be added to an existing cableladder system as easily as the initial cables wereinstalled. Future cable taps and splices can also bemade with ease.

• Installed cables can easily be inspected and cablefaults can often be located and repaired without totalreplacement of the original cable run.

• Rounded side rail flanges protect cables fromdamage.

• Rung designs permit easy cable drop out with nosharp edges to damage cable.

Engineering Information

Structural InformationSFSP cable ladder has been designed to offermaximum strength and load carrying capabilities at themost economical installed costs to the user. Thefollowing information is presented to aid thedesigner/user in the best application of our products tosuit his particular requirements.

Cable Ladder Loads - Cable Ladder loads are generally uniform loads expressed in Kg per meter. Loads commonly referred to in the cable ladder industry are:• Cable Load - Total static weight of the cables to be

supported in the ladder. This may include future cableloads if applicable.

• Live loads- Weather Loads, such as wind, snow,and ice, should be considered in outdoor installations.

• Working Load - Combination of the cable load andlive loads to be applied to your cable ladder system.

• Allowable Load - Is the destruction load capacity ofthe cable ladder divided by a safety factor of 1.5. Theallowable load capacity should equal or exceed theworking load to be applied.

Support Spans - A support span is merely thecenterline to centerline distance between supports. Inactual practice, the support spans of an installed cableladder system will vary, but the engineer/user shouldspecify the maximum support span. Two support spanscommonly referred to are:

* Simple Beam–A single span with the ends free torotate. This type span rarely occurs in normalinstallations, but is used as the most severe casewhen testing cable ladder to determine load capacity.

* Continuous Beam–A series of spans connectedtogether and continuous over several supports.This type span more closely approximates anactual installation.

Determine the most economical support spacing byreviewing building structure and any existing supportstructures. In many cases, it can be less expensive tosupport a stronger ladder system over longer spans byreducing the number of supports.Cable ladder fittings should be supported in accordance withNEMA Standard VE 1, Part 6. In addition, supports shouldbe located on each side, and in close proximity to, expansionsplices and vertical and horizontal hinged splices.

Support Types - The most common types of support are:- Trapeze hangers consisting of a support angle

suspended by all-thread hanger rods;- Wall brackets anchored to walls or columns.

NEMA Load Classes - NEMA Standard VE 1, Part 3outlines load/span class designations to be utilized bythe designer/user to specify a tray system to meethis/her structural needs. The designation is of the form 8A, 12A, 20C, etc. The numerical part refers to thesupport span, in feet. The alpha character in thedesignation refers to a load category. Current NEMAload/span designations are as follows.

Load capacities for ladders are determined by teststandards outlined in NEMA VE 1, Part 4. Each ladderis supported on a simple beam span and is loadeduniformly to destruction. The total destruction loaddivided by a safety factor of 1.5 represents the workingload of the ladder.Since cable ladder is rarely supported on simple beamspans, the actual installed safety factor of multiple spans is20 to 60 percent higher (see beam diagrams forcomparative bending moments).

Deflection - Deflection is the vertical displacement fromits original position of a cable ladder when loaded. Ingeneral, the maximum deflection occurs at midspan ormidway between supports.Deflections shown on the selector chart are for simplebeam spans. Deflections for multiple installations are1⁄4 to 1⁄2 of those shown (see beam diagrams.)

Beam DiagramsM = Bending Moment ∆ = Deflection

Values shown for bending moments and deflections areexpressed as fractions of simple beam span values(assuming equal uniform loads and span lengths).

MATERIAL & FINISHES

SFSP ensures that all of the materials used during the fabrication and finishing of its’ products conform to the relevantstandards.

Basic Material

Mild steel classification ASTM A36 orBS 1449, part 1 or DIN EN 10111/10025/10029

All parts made of steel can be delivered depending onenvironment and according to the various requirements withdifferent protection methods against corrosion, such as:

Austenitic Stainless Steels.Steel plate, sheet & strip, ASTM A240M, BS EN 10088BS 1449 : part 2, DIN 17440, DIN 17441

Note: After substantial cold working, Grade 304 mayexhibit quite strong response to a magnet

Excellent protection against chemical stress, marine andindustrial air. It has also longer useful duration than hot -or pre - or electrolytic galvanized steel.

Pre galvanized steel sheets (mill galvanization)according to ASTM A653M G 90 or BS 2989 Z275 zinccoating 275 g/m2 (36µm) on both sides (Sendzimirprocess Z 275) or BS EN 10142 1991.

Parts can be used in dry atmosphere without influenceof aggressive particles. The cut edge of these sheetswith a thickness of approx. up to 1.5 mm are byexperience sufficiently protected by the cathodeprotection against corrosion in almost dry atmosphere.

Hot-dip Galvanizing meets the following standards:- American Standard: ASTM A123- British Standard: BS EN ISO 1461:1999 replacing

BS 729 : 1971 (1986)- German Standard: DIN 50976- French Standard: NF A91-122- International Standard: ISO 1461

Appearance of the outer surface differs from bright shiningto dark mat gray, which in all cases does not affect the zincfilm / corrosion protection quality.

Post fabricated components are immersed in a bath ofmolten zinc (450°C or 850°F) after cleaning, picklingrinsing and fluxing. This relatively costly process is,however, necessary for installations in highly corrosiveenvironments. Parts galvanized like this not only have an extremely longerendurance compared to those made of mill-galvanizedsteel sheet - under the same atmospheric influences - butthey are, also much better protected against low chemicalstress, marine air or urban air.As per standards the average local zinc film thickness per sideshall be:

- 45 µm (315 g/m2) for sheets < 1mm- 50 µm (350 g/m2) for sheets 1 to 3 mm

The average annual loss value of zinc coats undervarious atmospheric stresses are:- Rural air 7 - 15 g/m2 0.8 - 1 µm/year- Urban air 20 - 40 g/m2 3 - 7 µm/year- Marine air 20 - 50 g/m2 3 - 8 µm/year- Industrial air 40 - 80 g/m2 5 - 10 µm/year

• “White rust”

Either under a heterogeneous film of water, or underpermanent condensation, white rust appears on thesurface of the steel sheets. It is a precipitation of basicsalts of zinc Zn(OH)2 that combines with CO2 to form aprotective layer called Zinc Hydroxycarbonate.

White rust has no negative influence on the duration ofthe zinc protection.

Electrolytic galvanized steelASTM B633, BS 1706, BS 3382, part 2, DIN EN 10152/10131

Immersion of clean steel parts in a zinc salt solution and applying an electric current. Coatingvaries from few microns to 15 µm (100 to 175 gr/m2).Attractive appearance when new, as the zinc coating isbright and smooth. Does not provide adequate corrosionresistance and will rarely provide more than 12 monthsprotection in most of the coastal population centers.

Epoxy or Polyester coatings. Adhesion toASTM D3359-83 on galvanized steel sheets.

Application: Exterior → Polyester, Interior → Epoxy.

Offer good resistance to abrasions and blows,excellent durability and require little maintenance.Specify the RAL reference for the color.
