THE IMPORTANCE OF CABLE SHIELDING AND GROUNDING

Auxiliary grounding of cable trays

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.

To ensure your cable tray system operates securely and complies with NEC standards, grounding and bonding are essential steps to follow. If an EGC cable is installed in or on a cable tray, it should be bonded to each or alternate cable tray sections via grounding clamps (this is not required by the NEC® but it is a desirable practice). Cable tray grounding wire is the safety connection that links your electrical system's cable tray to the ground.
