Grounding & Bonding Wire Mesh Cable Trays
However, while wire mesh trays offer mechanical and thermal advantages, proper grounding and bonding are critical
All metallic cable trays shall be grounded as required in Article 250. The EGC is the most important conductor in an electrical system as its function is electrical safety. It involves connecting cable trays to the facility's grounding system, providing a low-impedance path for fault currents and protecting personnel. The core requirements for Cable Tray grounding, as per GB 50303-2015, GB 51348-2019, and CECS 31-2023, can be summarized as "metals must be grounded, connections must ensure conductivity, and multiple points must ensure reliability". The specific provisions and implementation points are as follows:. Steel, hot-dip galvanized, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy trays shall be r...
