Standard Industrial practice is
to interconnect each cable tray
by 50x6 mm G.I Earth flat at
regular interval of every 25 M,
where more than one tray is
used and the earth conductor
from cable trays is to be
connected to main earth grid at
every 50 M. Which would meet
the requirement. Please convey
your acceptance.
