Thermal Contraction and Expansion of Cable Tray
It is important that cable tray installations incorporate features which provide adequate compensation for their thermal contraction and expansion.

You can buy a manufactured 90 degree bend or make one on a cable tray bending machine but in this video I show you how to make one using a metal bar. 1993 NEC Section 300-7 (b) states that "Raceways shall be provided with expansion joints where necessary to compensate for the thermal expansion or contraction. In this guide, the expansion gaps are explained to be calculated, as well as how to select materials such as aluminum or steel. We aim to ensure your project remains secure and does not breach the NEMA standards, causing it to suffer.
