Fire protection measures for cable tray systems may include: Use of fire-resistant or low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) cable types in critical areas. Cable tray installation must comply with specific technical standards to ensure electrical safety, system reliability, and long-term maintainability. A rung spacing of 6 to 9 inches (150 to 230 mm) is preferable when the cable tray cont d for instrumentation and control applications that require. This guide outlines the key standards and best practices every contractor should follow.
