Home / Auxiliary grounding of cable trays
It involves connecting cable trays to the facility's grounding system, providing a low-impedance path for fault currents and protecting personnel and equipment from electrical hazards. Cable tray grounding is an indispensable aspect of electrical installations that plays a pivotal role in ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency. However, the main principle should always be to ensure safe and effective grounding.
Steel and aluminum cable tray systems are excellent equipment grounding conductors if they are properly designed, specified, installed, and inspected. The NEC requirements for cable tray
