Calculation formula for shared support structure of cable trays

Home / Calculation formula for shared support structure of cable trays

Cable tray support quantity can be calculated using a simple formula: Support Quantity = Total Length ÷ Support Spacing + 1 20 ÷ 2 + 1 = 11 supports In a typical project, a 20-meter cable tray with 2-meter spacing requires 11 supports. 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. 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. If full details of the cabling layout are available then the likely cable load can be calculated using either manufacturer's published information or the tables of Cable Weights and Diameters which are given below. However it is often necessary to select a tray or ladder design in the absence of. rnese calculations contain an unverified assumptionts) that must be verified later.
