What kind of cables are best to put in cable trays in electrical systems
Control and instrumentation cables suitable for tray use. To that end this Bulletin is intended to discuss the types of cables most frequently used in cable trays and the wiring methods permitted in cable trays under the National Electric Code (NEC) NFPA 70. Well suited for power and large control cables. 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. Tray cables (TC) are multi-conductor cables designed and rated for installation in cable trays and raceways or supported by messenger wires. Unlike standard electrical cables, tray cables feature enhanced insulation and jacketing to withstand mechanical stress and exposure to oil, sunlight. When used indoors, tray cables must adhere to the NM-B (Non-Metallic Sheathed Cable - B) standards, which are designed for general-purpose residential wiring.
