tees, reducers, crosses and droppers shall have required bending redii but
not less than 300 mm.

For tray system design, in addition to self load, following guideline for
design shall be considered :
a) Support Span 3000 mm.
b) Cable load for
i). 150 mm width 30 kg/Linear Metre.
ii). 300 mm width 60 kg/Linear Metre.
iii). 600 mm width 90 kg/Linear Metre.
iv). 750 mm width 120 kg/Linear Metre.

In addition to this, 70 kg concentrated load at centre span with a safety
factor of 2 shall be considered.


The side rails and all accessories shall have the holes on each end for
fixing connector plates. The connectors between two sections of cable
trays or a Section of cable trays with associated accessories shall be
