    This section discusses installation methods for cables and provides guidelines on minimum spacings to avoid derating cables. It includes two tables that specify the horizontal and vertical spacings needed for single core cables and multicore cables depending on the method of installation, such as whether the cables are spaced away from surfaces and supported, or fixed directly to a surface. The spacings ensure sufficient air flow around the cables to prevent overheating during operation.

    INSTALLATION METHODS (CONT.)


    Figure 2.2 Minimum Spacings in Air to Avoid Derating
    Method of Installation
    a) Single Core Cables
    Cables spaced away from
    surfaces and supported on
    ladders, racks, etc. or
    suspended from a catenary
    wire, such that impedance to air
    flow around the cables is not
    greater than 10%.
    Cables spaced away from
    surfaces and supported on
    perforated or unperforated trays
    such that air flow around the
    cables is partially restricted.
    Cables fixed directly to a wall,
    floor, ceiling or similar surface
    such that air circulation is
    restricted.
