Distance of U-shaped cable tray supports

The NEC requires that cable trays must be supported by members at an interval specified by the cable tray manufacturer, but not more than 5 feet for horizontal runs to support the weight of the cables and other loads. The NEC has a requirement for ladder-type cable trays. Clause 522-08-04 Where conductors or cables are not supported. OBO BETTERMANN has of...
