fill-in criteria and conduit 40% fill-in criteria. Same cable laying
philosophy shall be considered in other areas of the plant, if not
specifically mentioned.

2.02.00 Cable Trays/Supports

2.02.01 Cable trays and covers shall be pre-fabricated type, constructed from
minimum 14 SWG sheet steel for trays and 16 SWG for covers and hot-dip
galvanized after fabrication.

2.02.02 Cable tray supports shall be cantilever type for each installation. All supports
and hardware shall be hot-dip galvanised.

2.02.03 Standard cable tray width shall be 600 mm. However, trays with 450, and
300, 150 mm width may be used in some places considering the requirement
and space restrictions. For instrumentation and control purpose, some
perforated type cable trays of width 150 and/or 100mm may be used
particularly in Boiler Platform area, and 600, 450, 300 mm perforated trays
may be used depending on site requirement.

2.02.04 Cable trays shall be ladder type with 250 mm rung spacing, 100 mm depth
and rung width not less than 50 mm.

2.02.05 All weld for cable tray supports shall have a min. throat thickness of 6 mm.

2.02.06 Cable trays in areas subjected to excessive coal dust, or mechanical damage
will have hot-dip galvanised sheet metal tray cover installed on front tray in
vertical run and inverted `V' type on upper tray in horizontal run.

Where covers are used on trays containing power cables, consideration

should be given to ventilation requirements. Areas where corrosive chemicals
are likely to be handled, cable tray and covers shall be epoxy painted.

2.03.00 Conduits

2.03.01 Conduits shall be rigid steel coated type; minimum size of conduit shall be
limited to 19mm.

2.03.02 Steel conduits with interior coating of silicon epoxy ester for ease of wire
pulling shall be seamed by welding and flo-coat metal conduit/hot-dip
galvanised. These shall be supplied in standard length of 5M with minimum
wall thickness as specified in IS:9537 Part-II. In chemical handling areas,
Battery room etc., the exterior surface shall be further coated with chromate
and polymer for better resistance to corrosion.

2.03.03 Conduit runs shall be supported at an interval of 750 mm for vertical run and
1000 mm for horizontal run.

2.03.04 Conduits shall be sized so that conduit fill (ratio of total cable area to conduit
area) shall not exceed the following :
One Cable : 53%
Two Cable : 31%
Three Cables & Up : 40%
