Leave margins for cable trays

Leave 12” in between the tray and ceiling/building truss structure. Although BS 7671 touches on the subject of cable supports, it does not detail specifically what these support distances should be. 8 (Other Mechanical Stresses (AJ)) in that document provides requirements for cable support. The mechanical and electrical characteristics, tests, certifications, overall quality management, recommendations mentioned. maintain spacing or to keep cables in place when the tray is ect the minimum bend ra-dius for cables as they exit the bottom of the cable tray. When located above an acoustical drop ceiling, wire mesh cable tray should be installed a minimum of 3” above the drop.
