TRAY SPACE REQUIRED FOR 1 LAYER OF CABLES : = 576 mm
PLUS TRAY SPACE RESERVED FOR FUTURE : = 100 mm ( 17 %)
------------
RECOMMENDED TRAY SIZE FOR 1 LAYER OF CABLES: = 750 mm
------------
TRAY SPACE REQUIRED FOR 2 LAYERS OF CABLES: = 288 mm

------------
RECOMMENDED TRAY SIZE FOR 2 LAYERS OF CABLES: = 400 mm
------------
NOTE: THE RECOMMENDED TRAY SIZES ARE BASED ON THE OVERALL DIAMETERS
OF TYPICAL XLPE/PVC COPPER CABLES ASSUMED LAID TOUCHING. THE SINGLE OR MULTI CORE
CABLES FROM 1.5mm2 THROUGH 630mm2 ARE BASED ON SAUDI CABLE OR RIYADH CABLE

CALCULATION:
FOR SINGLE LAYER ARRAGEMENT:
ACTUAL SIZE OF CABLE TRAY = TOTAL DIA. OF CABLES + TOTAL DIA. OF CONDUIT + FUTURE SPACE
ACTUAL SIZE OF CABLE TRAY = 576 + 0 + 100 = 676 mm
ACTUAL SIZE OF CABLE TRAY = 750 mm (WIDTH)
