Home / Grounding at the beginning of the cable tray

Grounding in cable trays allows electrical leakage from the outer surfaces of the conductors to be channeled into the tray. It helps to safely direct dangerous currents that may result from electrical faults to the ground. Cable tray may be used as the Equipment Grounding Conductor (EGC) in any installation where qualified persons will service the installed cable tray system. It involves connecting cable trays to the facility's grounding system, providing a low-impedance path for fault currents and protecting personnel.
