Cable trays run downwards
Cable sag results from incorrect spacing of cable tray supports or from employing the incorrect tray type that is, light-duty perforated trays in high-load applications. This publication is intended as a practical guide for the proper and safe* installation of cable ladder systems, cable tray systems, channel support systems and associated supports. All cables should be supported in cable tray that is run overhead, above the equipment or under the raised floor.

Installation of 90-degree downhill bends in cable trays
Fasten bend location with either Splice Kit, Double Splice, or Washer Supports as shown. 90 Deg Cut and Bend Radius by removing both side wires the necessary bend location. With PKP-KO 0-90° adjustable bend you can easily create up to 90° bend on your cable trays path. Construction of a flat 90° bend (A) The amount of tray lip to be removed is equal to 2, 3/4 the width of the tray, half of this measurement will be removed on either side of the centre line. The bends, tees, crosses, risers and reducers of wire mesh cable tray can be easily and quickly made live at the project by using a bolt cutter.

Earthquake Resistance of Cable Trays in Africa
Cable tray and conduit systems have an excellent earthquake performance record. This has been evidenced at over 70 power and industrial facilities in 14 past major earthquakes, and is reinforced by shake table test data and detailed analyses. Earthquakes and seismic events can cause severe damage to electrical infrastructure, including cable trays, leading to outages and even safety hazards. Seismic forces are generated by the movement of the Earth's crust during an earthquake. A method is developed for utilizing this data in defensible, simple seismic qualification criteria and configuration controls. During an earthquake, cable trays are exposed not only to gravity loads and normal service loads, but also to lateral movement, vertical acceleration, vibration, and building drift.

How to use the clamps on cable trays
The fittings can fastened to the cable tray rail either with double clamps of type DOP A2 or with truss-head bolts of type FRS and combination nuts. The exceptions to this are vertical bends, adjustable bend elements and fittings with a side height of 35 mm. In this video, we will show you how to use 3 different cover clamps (PKP-SP1, PKP-SP2 & PKP-SPM1) that enables additional mechanical fastening of the cable trays cover. When developing our cable support OBO can offer reliable solutions for systems, three attributes are at the routing and fastening cables securely core of what we do: efficiency, resil- for each of these installation challeng-ience and safety. Whether you're a tech-savvy professional or just looking for a way to tidy up your home office, this guide will help you get started. Cable tray support systems consist of several components, including clamps, brackets, supports, and fittings.
