 Wescosa Cable Management System
Materials & Construction
Cable tray systems are commonly fabricated from
a corrosion-resistant metal or from a metal with a
corrosion-resistant finish. The selection of the proper
material is essentially an economic consideration.
Every cable tray installation places requirements on
the mechanical properties of the material from which
it is fabricated. These properties influence the spacing
frequency of supporting members, and the ease of
installation. The selection of the material may also
be dependent upon electrical (conductivity), physical
(appearance), or chemical (corrosion resistance)
properties, according to the demands of the specific
installation.
Although there are numerous metals available which
could satisfy the basic requirements, certain wrought
aluminum alloys and low carbon steels meet these
requirements most economically.
Wrought Aluminum Alloys
When pure, aluminum is soft and ductile. However,
most commercial uses require greater strength than
pure aluminum affords. This strength is achieved by
the addition of other elements to produce alloys, which
singly or in combination, impart strength to the metal.
These alloys have been classified into seven categories
according to their chemical composition, and have been
given numerical designations for each series of alloys
of 1000 through 7000 by the Aluminum Association.
In addition to alloying the pure aluminum, further
strengthening is possible by heat-treating.
Heat-Treatable Alloys
The initial strength of alloys in this group is enhanced
by the addition of such alloying elements as copper,
magnesium, zinc and silicon, and is designated as 2000,
6000, and 7000 series. Since these alloys singly, or in
various combinations, show increasing solid solubility in
aluminum with increasing temperature, it is possible to
subject them to thermal treatments, which will impart
pronounced strengthening.
Non-Heat-Treatable Alloys
The initial strength of alloys in this group depends
upon the hardening effect of elements such as
manganese, silicon, iron and magnesium, singly or in
various combinations. The non-heat treatable alloys are
designated as 1000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 series. As
2
these alloys are work-hardenable, further strengthening
is made possible by various degrees of cold working,
denoted by the “H” series of tempers. Alloys containing
appreciable amounts of magnesium when supplied
in strain-hardened tempers are usually given a final
elevated temperature “stabilizing” to insure stability of
properties.
In determining the proper aluminum alloy for structural
applications, such as A ventilated cable tray system,
the design engineer should recognize the advantages
inherent in using alloys that are heat-treatable and of
being able to fabricate the structure from materials
possessing known minimum values of yield strength.
Cable tray products are most widely formed from the
6000 series alloys. Alloys in this group contain silicon
and magnesium in approximate proportions to form
magnesium silicide, thus making them capable of being
heat-treated. Major alloys in this series are 6061 and
6063, which are among the most versatile of the heat-
treatable alloys. Though not as strong as most 2000
or 7000 alloys, the magnesium-silicon (or magnesium
silicide) alloys possess good formability and corrosion
resistance.
Basic structural members of aluminum cable tray systems
can be made from 6063-T6 aluminum extrusions, a
material that economically meets the requirements
of the majority of installations. The 6063-T6 alloy has
adequate strength and good corrosion resistance. It
is lightweight, maintenance-free, and because of the
non-magnetic properties of aluminum, keeps electrical
losses to a minimum.
Steel
Steel cable trays are used principally in environments
which are relatively free from corrosive attack. They
are available with various types of corrosion-resistant
finishes, usually hot-dip galvanized. The main
advantages of using steel in cable tray fabrication are
its high strength and low cost. Its disadvantages are
increased structural weight, poor corrosion-resistance,
and low electrical conductivity.
The idea that all steels are the same, except for chemical
composition is false. Carbon steels may be produced
with chemical compositions (carbon, manganese,
phosphorus, sulphur and silicon) within the specified
Wescosa Cable Management System
Materials & Construction

limits of a given grade and still have characteristics that

are widely dissimilar. Each grade and quality variation
has a useful place depending upon the end use and the
methods of fabrication.

Basic components of steel cable trays are normally

fabricated from either hot or cold rolled carbon steel
strips of commercial quality. Steels in this category are
ASTM A-569 and A-36. Pregalvanized steel conforms
to ASTM A-526 or BS-2989.

 Wescosa Cable Management System
Corrosion Resistance
The underlying causes of corrosion are the same for all
metals, all stemming from electrochemical phenomena.
But the ways in which corrosion manifests itself are
characteristic of each particular metal. Steel corrodes
in the atmosphere with the formation of rust, which
develops very rapidly on unprotected surfaces. In a
clean atmosphere, aluminum slowly develops a white
or silver grey patina.
Aluminum surfaces weather by a characteristic process
of pitting, and corrosion rates are often assessed by
measuring the depth of the pits. The rate of pitting falls
off after the first year or two, moving gradually to a
standstill.
The strong, heat-treatable alloys of aluminum, with
copper as one of the chief alloy elements, or certain
fully heat-treated alloys with magnesium and silicon as
major alloying elements, may manifest another type of
attack, intercrystalline in nature, which may cause more
pronounced loss of strength if allowed to continue. Such
materials may require protection by painting, cladding,
or metal spraying, depending on the environment.
Several characteristic modes of corrosive attack may be
distinguished as follows:
Simple Chemical Attack
The solution of a metal by an acid is an obvious
example of simple chemical attack. Simple chemical
attack occurs when sulfides are in contact with steel
or copper. Ordinarily, aluminum is not subject to such
attack. A classic example of such chemical attack is
sludge retaining rainwater in the bottom of guttering.
In this case, a corrosive solution is held in constant
contact with the metal, and rapid attack may follow.
Electrochemical Corrosion
Corrosion of a metal accelerated through contact with
another metal in moist or wet conditions is known as
bimetallic, or less commonly, galvanic or electrolytic
corrosion. This corrosion is due to the action of a simple
voltaic cell. The presence of a conducting solution
is essential to this phenomenon but the presence
of dissimilar metals is not essential provided that a
difference of potential exists.
In addition to the nature of the two metals, the extent
of galvanic attack depends upon many other factors.
Among these are:
4
• C
 oncentration of the electrolyte, which determines
its electrical resistance.
• Nature of ions present in the electrolyte
• Polarization effects
• Effect of stable surface films on the metal
• Relative areas of anode and cathode
• The physical nature of the corrosion product
• Temperature variations
Each of these factors can influence the total resistance
of the circuit.
The corrosive nature of seawater and of coastal
environments is partly due to the low electrical resistance
of salt solution. Similarly, the bad effects of industrial
atmospheres on metals arise largely from the sulphur
compounds, sulphurous and sulfuric acids, which are
largely formed as a result of burning coal, and which
dissolve in the moisture in the air or in the rain as it falls,
or in films of condensed water on the metal.
To summarize, the extent and type of moisture is
an important factor in determining the severity of
galvanic attack. For indoor service, where wetting is
infrequent, galvanic corrosion normally is no problem.
Outdoors, attack may be relatively rapid in seacoast and
industrial environments, where contamination, hence
conductivity, of rain and condensed moisture is high.
Several general rules can be applied in selecting metal
combinations for use in corrosive environments. These
are:
• S elect metals as close together in the galvanic series
as possible.
• F or the anodic protection of steel, metals above steel
in the series should be selected, or the steel should
be galvanized or otherwise protective coated.
• A
 void combinations having a smaller area of the
more anodic metal than of the cathodic, to avoid
excessive current density on the anodic areas.
• Insulate dissimilar metals wherever possible to
minimize galvanic corrosion.
Wescosa Cable Management System
Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum Alloys
The corrosion-resistance of aluminum alloys is due to
the presence on the surface of a very thin protective
film of aluminum oxide, which has strong self-healing
properties when damaged. The oxide film begins to
form immediately on the surface of the bare metal
exposed to air and grows rapidly for several days,
then slowly for a month, when it reaches a thickness
of approximately 0.0000002”. Corrosion of aluminum
can only occur when the oxide film is damaged or
removed and conditions prevent its formation.
Substances, which may come in contact with aluminum,
can be divided into three groups:
Those substances which attack the oxide film.
These are most strong alkalis, mercurical compounds,
and most strong acids.
Substances which cause localized
breakdown of the oxide film (pitting).
And for which aluminum is suitable only under certain
conditions, such as some natural fresh waters and
aqueous solutions containing traces of mercury, copper,
or other heavy metals.
Substances which do not attack the oxide
film.
The majority of substances fall in this group, including
many industrial chemicals.
The majority of aluminum installations give perfectly
satisfactory services, free from corrosion, and only in
exceptional cases do problems occur. When problems
do occur, they can be attributed to one or more of the
following causes:
• Wrong choice of alloy
• Exposure conditions
• A bimetallic joint which causes galvanic corrosion
• Crevices
• Unwise location of the aluminum assembly,
resulting in deposition corrosion
• Contact with aggressive chemicals
Among the heat-treatable alloys, the 6000 series has
good resistance to industrial and marine atmospheres.
With the exception of certain corrosive chemicals,
no corrosion at all will occur if water is not present.
Thus, indoor installations that are not in actual contact
with water or installations that are maintained in dry
conditions will not corrode.
Steel with Zinc Coatings
The data, from which comparative performance of
different types of zinc coating can be inferred, are
generally obtained from comprehensive exposure tests
in various atmospheres, such as those conducted since
1926 by the American Society of Testing Materials. From
the results of these tests, the following conclusions can
be made:
The corrosion rate of zinc on galvanized sheets
is practically linear in industrial or rural atmospheres,
and in a marine atmosphere that is polluted with
industrial contaminants. Thus, in these atmospheres, a
sheet with double the weight of coating than that of
another sheet can be expected to last twice as long
before rusting of the base metal occurs.
The composition of the base metals has no
measurable effect on the life of zinc coatings. However,
the composition of the base metals is the major factor
in the years to perforation.
The corrosion rate of zinc varies more with the
type of atmosphere (marine, industrial) than does that
of steel or iron.
The chloride content of sea air apparently has
an accelerating effect on the corrosion of zinc coating.
Rainfall removes about 75% of the
corrosion products from zinc surfaces if the
results of tests in rural, industrial and marine exposures
are averaged together. The residual corrosion products
remaining on the surface become basic in character
and exert a retarding influence on corrosion. In highly
industrialized or polluted atmospheres, this basic film
may not exist, a fact, which helps explain the more
rapid attack experienced in such atmospheres.
Indoor atmospheres correspond in a general way
to that prevailing outside in a given locality. Variations in
humidity and temperature are somewhat less extreme
5
 Wescosa Cable Management System
Corrosion Resistance
and there is no rainfall indoors to dissolve and remove
soluble corrosion products. In general, it may be
assumed that the protective life of zinc coatings indoors
is at least five times greater than that of coatings of the
same thickness exposed to the outdoor atmosphere in
the same locality.
The indoor corrosion of zinc
may be severe when moisture condensation is
frequent and air circulation is restricted. This effect is
particularly bad in humid, tropical locations with nightly
condensation.
These conclusions indicate zinc coatings will in any event
have an acceptable service life expectancy regardless
of how the end point of failure is defined. However,
it should be noted that whenever maintenance, such
as painting, is neglected, it is unreasonable to expect
galvanized steel to last indefinitely.
Finishes
Metallic
Cable trays fabricated of steel can be protected from
corrosion by coating with another metal using one of
the following methods:
• Continuous Hot-Rolled Galvanizing
ASTM Designation A525 Specifications for Zinc Coated
(Galvanized) Iron or Steel Sheets, Coils, and Cut Lengths.
This process applies a zinc coating to sheet steel prior
to fabrication of the product (pre-galvanized cable tray)
by passing the metal downward through a molten
ammonium chloride flux bath, and then into the zinc
and out again by means of rolls.
The WESCOSA standard zinc coating designation is
G90, which has an average zinc coating weight of 1.25
ounces per square foot of steel for an average coating
on both surfaces of 1.06 mils.
• Hot Dipped Galvanizing After Fabrication
ASTM Designation A123, or BS 1461, Specification for
Zinc Coating (Hot Dip) on Assembled Steel Products.
6
This process is used to apply a zinc coating to an already
fabricated product. The product is first cleaned in a
caustic bath, then further cleaned by a pickling acid
bath. The article is then thoroughly rinsed and dipped
in a bath of molten zinc. The nature and thickness
of the coating depend largely upon the immersion
rate, temperature of the bath, immersion period, and
withdrawal rate. The resulting coating consists of an
outer layer of relatively pure zinc, and lower layers of
iron-zinc compounds.
Generally, hot dip coatings are highly nonuniform,
except on very simple shapes and are usually thickest
at small recesses (unless these remain uncoated
altogether). The advantage of this method is that the
zinc applied is thicker than when applied by other
processes. However, the protective characteristics of
zinc coating under atmospheric conditions have been
found to be equal, regardless of process: i.e. zinc
coatings of the same weight have approximately the
same service life.
WESCOAT Coatings
The most effective method of protecting Cable Trays,
Ladders and associated hardware from corrosive
attack is to apply an anti corrosion coating over the
top of the substrate. This method of protecting Cable
Trays, Ladder and associated hardware is designed for
installation in severe and aggressive locations such
as coastal sites where high humidity and salt laden
atmospheres are prevalent. WESCOAT coatings also
offer the most effective method of protecting against
chemical environments.
In order to ensure adequate protection the coating
must be able to withstand moisture, salt chemicals
and exposure to severe weather conditions. Above all,
the coating demonstrates a high level of resistance to
Ultraviolet (UV) exposure. It should be noted that ‘epoxy
coatings’ are NOT suitable for installations where high
levels of exposure to UV are experienced.
WESCOAT Cable Trays & Ladder Coatings
For Cable Trays, Ladder and Support Strut WESCOSA
utilize a specially developed coating system, which
has been formulated for application over a hot dip

chemical pretreatment of the galvanized substrate prior
to application of a temperature cured thermosetting
Polyester. The resultant coating is impervious to
moisture, salt, and most chemicals at moderate
temperatures. WESCOAT is extremely resistant to
impact and abrasion. However cut edges and site
damaged areas can be repaired on site using a two pack
chemically cured repair kit. WESCOAT is available in a
comprehensive range of colors, ordered by specifying
an appropriate RAL color chart number or ANSI Color.

 Wescosa Cable Management System
Loading
This section presents guidelines for classification of
design conditions with respect to weather factors,
methods of determination and application of various
types of loadings encountered, maximum allowable
working stresses and other pertinent considerations.
This information will assist the designer in evaluating
materials and product catalog information so that he
can design a system, which will achieve the desired
strength and rigidity at the lowest possible installed
cost.
Load Classification
Loads on structures are usually divided into three types:
Dead loads
that do not change their magnitude or their position
during the life of the structure.
Live loads
that change their magnitude, their position and/or their
direction during the life of the structure.
Dynamic loads
that are caused by the motion of the live load, or the
movement of the structure.
Because of their general nature, these load classifications
can be used for any structure. However, for the purpose
of establishing a practical load classification for cable
tray system design, it is necessary to create additional
subdivisions and provide a guide for assumption of
specific loads.
Thus, for cable tray system design, the three basic load
types are also considered as follows:
Dead Loads
Since dead loads are the weight of the members that
make up a tray or tray support, they have a known
value. A summation of the weights of the individual
members is all that is required to calculate the dead
load.
Live Loads
In cable tray design, dynamic loads are considered to
be as follows:
8
The design load
is the weight of cables, cable tray accessories, and
sometimes workers (which vary in both magnitude and
position). Cable only design loads can be determined
by adding the component weights of the system. Any
provision for workers will require an assumption of
magnitude and position—for practical purposes, an
assigned weight acting at mid span of the tray.
Parasitic loads
such as ice, snow, wind, traction, and electromagnetic
forces exist only because the trays exist. They are the
most difficult to determine, and different assumptions
can be made about their effect on the overall loadings.
The following information will provide a general guide.
Three general degrees of loading
due to weather conditions are recognized in the
National Electrical Safety Code, and are designated as
heavy, medium and light loading.
Values used in determining conductor loadings under
these conditions for ice, wind and temperature are given
in the Table 1 - Degrees of Loading Due to Weather.
However, modifications of these values are necessary
when applied to cable tray systems, since the NESC is
concerned primarily with the construction of overhead
supply and communication lines. These modifications
are:
Ice Loading
The NESC loading of 1/2” thickness is applied to both
cables and cable tray. In applying loadings to interlocked
armored cables, and bare stranded conductors or
suspension cables, the coating of ice is considered as
a hollow cylinder with an inside diameter equal to the
outside diameter of the cable or strand. Ice is assumed
to weight 57 lbs. per cubic foot.

For Trusses and Towers the wind load is assumed to be

acting on the projected area of the windward face only.
For structures with circular cross sections, the effective
area is the area projected on a vertical plane.
Wind Direction and Distribution
The allowance for wind pressure shall be made assuming
the wind from any possible direction to be critical. Wind
loads shall be considered as uniformly distributed.

Snow Loading Traction Forces

The NESC does not consider snow loading, and in
general this also applies to cable tray systems. However,
in the case of a solid cover on a tray, the minimum load
of 5lbs. per square foot should be used for outdoor
installations where snow is a factor.
Wind Loading
The NESC loadings are modified as follows, in order
to provide adequate protection against the maximum
wind velocities encountered with consideration of the
shapes of the various structures (not considered by
NESC).
Wind velocity
in the loading tables, wind means horizontal wind. Wind
These forces, caused by the cables starting and stopping
during the cable installation period, vary in magnitude
and direction. They are of such nature, therefore,
that no general assumption can be made to provide
for them. However, the safety factors selected for the
basic design stresses should be conservative enough to
provide for these forces when they do occur.
Electromagnetic Forces
These forces, caused by short-circuit current during
a cable fault, vary in magnitude and position. It is
impractical to make an assumption providing for
them. Ordinarily, the safety factors selected for the
basic design stresses will be adequate. However, in
installations where these forces are of such magnitude

9
 Wescosa Cable Management System
Loading

that they become a factor in the design of the cable
tray system, adequate provision must be made so that
the design stresses are not exceeded.
Dynamic Loads
In cable tray design, there are two kinds of loads:
Impact loads
which result because the live load is in motion, are loads
in addition to the static weight of the live load. Such
loads could be caused by cables being dropped onto it,
or by workmen walking on it or climbing up or down
a ladder leaning against it. These loads are provided
for in the same manner as traction forces—the safety
factors selected for the basic design stresses should be
conservative enough to provide for these forces if they
occur.
Table 3
Impact Pressures
Inertia loads
are caused when the structure itself is in motion,
such as may occur during an earthquake. It is usually
considered that an earthquake gives the structure a
horizontal acceleration, and the resulting acceleration
and deceleration cause forces proportional to the mass
and to the acceleration and deceleration. These loads
(earthquake) represent special design requirements,
and the design loading should be in accordance
with the ASA’s “American Standard Building Code
Requirements for Minimum Design Loads in Buildings
and Other Structures” or other suitable specifications.
Design Loadings
Basic cable trays are designed on the basis of maximum
allowable stress for a certain section and material.
Therefore, the allowable cable load will vary with span,
type and width of tray. The design loadings for cable
tray are given in the form of load tables. These tables
appear in another section of the catalog.

the experience of practical application in the design of
components and systems.

Wescosa Cable Management System
Deflection
The concept of “Cables in Free Air” for power
distribution and control cables has been adopted
primarily for economic reasons. Cable tray support
systems should be designed, whenever possible,
for minimum installed cost. In order to achieve this
objective, the engineer must bear in mind that the
general design rules established for aluminum and steel
structures are not always compatible with design rules
for a cable tray system. This is particularly applicable in
the case of restrictions on deflection.
Since the most economical cable tray system uses heat
treated aluminum alloys, or high strength steels with
long spans, any limitation on deflection, which will not
permit the best utilization of material and design, will
increase the cost. By limiting the maximum fiber and
shear stress used in the design the adequacy and safety
of the structure is assured.
Why Limit Deflection?
The primary reason to limit deflection in cable tray
systems is appearance. Engineers and owners take
pride in the appearance of their installations. So rigid
restrictions on deflection of cable trays installed at eye
level or in a prominent location are common. However,
it is neither economical nor good engineering practice
to restrict deflection of a cable tray system in less
prominent areas.
Methods of Decreasing Deflection
There are various ways to limit deflection of a cable tray.
If the objective is minimum installed cost, they should
be considered in this order:
Decreasing the stress by decreasing the
bending moment.
This can be accomplished by introducing restraining
moments at the end of a span in the form of a rigid
support. The deflection in a continuous beam, with
negative bending moments at the intermediate support
points, is only a fraction of the deflection in a simple
beam.
Increasing depth of the tray.
Deflection in any location can be reduced by increasing
the depth of the load-carrying side members and/or
by adding to their cross-sectional area. Adding to the
depth generally utilizes the material most economically.
Increasing modulus of elasticity.
Since the modulus of elasticity of steel is 29 x 106 psi,
and that of aluminum alloys is only 10 x 106 psi, greater
deformation of aluminum alloy trays is to be expected
at any given stress level. Under its own weight, an
aluminum beam will deflect the same amount as an
identical steel beam, since not only the weight, but also
the modulus of elasticity is only one-third that of steel.
However, under the same applied load (disregarding
the beam’s own weight), aluminum will deflect almost
three times as much as steel. Therefore, consideration
must be given to the choice of material for any one
location, for an isolated run or for an entire installation.
Decreasing span length.
For economic reasons, this method of reducing
deflection should be a last resort, since it increases
field labor considerably. However, it can be an effective
means to improve the appearance of an installation
when the number of spans to be reduced is small in
comparison to the number in the entire installation.
Deflection Criteria Applied to Cable Tray
Design rules and specifications developed for steel
should not be applied to aluminum alloys since this
would not permit the most economical use of these
materials. Deflection criteria, which apply only to steel,
and should not be used when the most economical
system is desired include:
Span-deflection ratio
Example: Deflection is limited to 1/300 of the span
by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association
specifications for structures supporting air switches.
While very important in that instance, as even slight
deflection could cause misalignment in the operating
mechanism and result in binding and difficult switch
operation, the application of this specification to a
cable tray is uneconomical and not recommended.
13
 Wescosa Cable Management System
Deflection

Depth to span ratio

Example: The American Institute of Steel Construction,

in the specifications for buildings, specifies the depths
of beams and girders in floors to be not less that
1/24 of the span, or not less than 1/20 of the span
where shock or vibration may be encountered. This
specification ensures a certain rigidity and levelness of
the structure, which is important in that instance, but
cannot be justified for cable tray systems because of
the higher cost involved.

Deflection constant

Example: Deflection is limited to a certain amount by

an engineering company for a tray system. While such
specifications might make a system using 8-foot spans
look better, it prohibits the use of more economical
designs with longer spans, which can have a much
greater deflections and still look acceptable. Such
a specification increases the cost of the tray system
unnecessarily, especially if the trays are to be installed
well above eye level.

Summary

As a guide, a span-deflection ratio of around 1/200

satisfies most owners. This ratio provides an allowable
deflection of 0.6” in a 10-foot span, 0.72” in a 12-
foot span, and 1.20” in a 20-foot span under the actual
loads encountered.

Data for calculating deflection is presented in Table 5,

Electrical Design and Grounding
A cable tray system must provide protection to life
and property against faults caused by electrical
disturbances, lightning, failures, which are a part of the
system, and the failure of equipment that is connected
to the system. For this reason, all metal enclosures of
the system, as well as non-current carrying or neutral
conductors, should be tied together and reduced to a
common earth potential. This includes the structural
steel of a building, all piping for water, gas, steam and
sewers, tanks, well casings, down spouts and gutters,
siding and roofing.
There are two distinct divisions to the grounding
problem:
System grounding
and
Equipment grounding.
The following explanation gives the reasons for
grounding, and how to provide for it.
System Grounding
The purpose of system grounding is to drain off any
excessively high voltages that may accidentally come
on the tray system. If the system is properly grounded
by means of a low-resistance conductor of sufficient
capacity, the current will be carried off to earth
immediately with a minimum danger of fire or shock.
In a grounded system, an accidental grounding of one
of the current carrying conductors will result in a short
circuit, and cause a fuse or circuit breaker to open.
Equipment Grounding
Equipment grounding means the connection to earth of
all exposed, non-current carrying metallic parts of the
components of the distribution system. The purpose of
this ground is to prevent a voltage higher than earth
potential on cable tray or equipment. Grounding thus
reduces the danger of shock or fire in the event a live
conductor comes in contact with these conductive
parts.
Methods of Grounding
Effective grounding must be permanent and
16
continuous, and have ample capacity to safety conduct
any current likely to be imposed on it. It should also
have impedance sufficiently low to limit the potential
above ground and to facilitate operation of overcurrent
devices in the circuit. A continuous, underground
metallic water supply system is acknowledged to be
the best electrical ground. Other suitable methods
of grounding include continuous metallic steam and
gas piping systems, the grounded metal framing of
the building, or an artificial electrode such as a driven
steel pipe, galvanized or otherwise protected from
corrosion, or a buried metallic plate. The tray system
and equipment ground connections should be made
to the same electrode at the service entrance, on the
supply side of the equipment used for disconnecting
the service. Equipment should be solidly tied-in with
the system ground. It is also important, that wherever
multiple grounds are used, they be tied together in
order to avoid any difference of potential between the
various parts of the tray system.
Complete rules for grounding are contained in Article
250 of the National Electric Code.
Electrical Properties of Cable Tray
WESCOSA has always recognized the importance
of electrical design, as well as structural design, to
provide positive, safe protection to personnel, plant
and equipment. Thorough testing has proven that the
cable support system must be electrically designed for
maximum carrying capacity, in that: power cables may
have short circuit capacity of from 5000 to 150,000
amperes, and the division of fault current places
considerable burden on the support system, even
though adequate grounding has been provided.
Table 6 shows the division of fault current determined
by tests of an aluminum and a steel interlocked armored
3-conductor 4/0 cable on a WESCOSA aluminum cable
ladder.
It is not the purpose or intent that the support system
be used for a continuous ground, but to provide
extremely high one second current carrying capacity as
a safety feature. The entire system should be grounded
at periodic intervals to keep the potential at or below
100 volts in case of a cable fault.

use of a correction factor, based on the fact the 12t will

Heavy Weight Brackets CENTER SUPPORT

Heavy weight, channel type brackets are used to
support long spans or multiple ladder or trough
installations that exceed the load capacity of ordinary
brackets. They are welded from 75mm structural steel
channel with 40mm channel stiffening members and
hot dip galvanized. To develop the full strength of the
brackets, the 3 ½” diameters bolts for which the wall
members are drilled must be used.
Center Supports offer the economy of less support
materials and better side access to the tray system for
tray carrying light to medium loads. Extra consideration

VERTICAL RUN SUPPORT BRACKET ANGLES

There is a wide variation of vertical run supports
possible depending on the load, support spacing
and distance of the run from the wall or supporting
structure. It is recommended that support spacing for
vertical runs must be no less than six feet and no more
than twelve feet. Brackets are available for spacing of
3, 12, 24 and 36 inches from the wall to accommodate
the various radii bends that may be entering or leaving
the supporting wall.
Bracket angles connect to wall brackets which then
serve as a support for vertical runs. Cable trays are
then bolted to brackets angles with support angles
clips. Bracket angle have a series of slots to allow the
attachment of various types of tray of the same width
to the same bracket angle. Fabricated from hot dip
galvanized steel.

Vertical runs usually consist of a Z-bracket for a 3-inch

distance from the wall only, or a pair of brackets with
the necessary support angles and clips to fasten the
tray to the support. Here are two typical installations. CATALOG
