Cable in tray is viewed as being exposed to a greater risk of mechanical damage and can be a potential ignition source or fuel load in a fire scenario. Article 392 of the NEC provides the basic requirements for installations using cable tray. Cable Types: Only use conductors rated for open-air environments, such as Tray Rated (Type TC) or Metal-Clad (Type MC) cables. en completely installed, without damage either to conductors or structural system use maintain spacing or to keep cables in place when the tray is ect the minimum bend ra-dius for cables as they exit the bottom of the cable tray. We recognize the need for a complete cable tray reference source for electrical engineers and designers. Cable tray systems provide a safe, organized, and flexible method for supporting insulated conductors and cables in commercial and industrial electrical installations.
