Installation of Cuban Enclosed Cable Trays

Cuban enclosed cable trays should be installed with proper support, alignment, grounding, and cable management to ensure safety, durability, and compliance with standards.Planning and Preparation

Before installation, review the project drawings and Bill of Quantities (BOQ) to confirm tray sizes, load requirements, and support locations . Ensure all materials, including trays, splice plates, brackets, and fasteners, are available and stored properly to prevent damage or corrosion . Maintain a minimum clearance of 300mm above or between installed systems for accessibility and future maintenance .

Support and Mounting
  • Determine the required elevation from the floor to the bottom of the tray and establish a level line using a laser or nylon string .
  • Use supports capable of handling the tray load, including future cable additions .
  • Typical support spacing is 1.5 to 3 meters, depending on tray type and load; shorter spacing increases rigidity, while longer spacing reduces material usage but requires stronger trays .
  • Avoid cutting or drilling structural members without approval from the general contractor .
Tray Assembly
  • Connect tray sections using splice plates, ideally positioned at ¼ of the gap between supports rather than at midpoints or directly above supports .
  • Ensure trays are aligned straight and level before tightening bolts; small adjustments are allowed during assembly .
  • Maintain a smooth interior surface to prevent cable damage during installation .
Cable Installation
  • Lay cables neatly, using cable ties or straps to separate by voltage and function .
  • Respect the minimum bending radius of the largest cable when using bends or accessories .
  • For multiple cables in the same tray, consider the largest bending radius to facilitate installation .
Grounding and Bonding
  • Ensure electrical continuity every 18 meters and proper grounding of metal trays .
  • Use bonding jumpers across tray sections to maintain safety and compliance with IEC 61537 and NEC Article 392 standards .
Final Checks and Maintenance
  • Inspect for loose clamps, misalignment, overfilled sections, or unsupported spans .
  • Label cables clearly and maintain updated documentation for troubleshooting and audits .
  • Perform routine maintenance to check for corrosion, loose wires, or broken clamps to extend tray lifespan . By following these steps, Cuban enclosed cable trays can be installed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with international electrical standards, ensuring long-term reliability and ease of maintenance.
