    Can the BZ line be run through a cable tray

    Due to their exposure to the open air because of the cable trays, the wires contained within need a very durable outer covering. The regulations dictate that the cables must either be Type TC (also known as Tray Rated) or must be metal-armored (Type MC). Eaton's B-Line series wide cable trays use stronger rungs to safely bear the loads published (only our 42 and 48-inch widths require load reductions). When supporting small diameter multi-conductor control and instrumentation cables, 6, 9, or 12-inch rung spacings should be specified. The information has been organized for use as a reference guide for. The primary rulebook used in the safe use of cable trays is NEC Article 392. The following pages address the 2011 National Electric Code® requirements for cable tray. Cable tray systems provide a safe, organized, and flexible method for supporting insulated conductors and cables in commercial and industrial electrical installations.
