    Methods of Cable Routing

    Cable routing refers to the installation of equipment to secure and contain cables to make maintenance easier. Common cable routing methods include cable trays, conduits, and underground cable. Cable trays are often preferred for industrial projects as they provide better heat dissipation than routing cables in pipes. Cable trays use various connection types like horizontal and vertical bends, tees, and crosses to route cables. Ladder cable trays consist of longitudinal side parts connected by transverse junctions and are designed for power or control cables. Notes provide guidance on installing and spacing cables in trays.

    Cable Routing

    Cable routing refers to the installation of equipment to secure cables for electrical
    services in a building .The term is used for products or workmanship. Cable
    management is important in information technology(IT), communications, and power
    distribution.
    Cable routing both supports and contains cables during installation, and makes subsequent
    maintenance or changes to the cable system easier.
    Methods of cable routing:
    Cable Trays.
    Conduits (Pipes).
    Underground Cable.
    CableTrays:
    It should be taken into account that cable trays are made of white and galvanized sheet
    with cover.

    Cable Trays.

    – Cable routing method is chosen according to the nature of the project.


    – It is preferred to use cable tray for industrial projects as it is better in heat leakage than routin
    g in pipes.

    Notes
    • For light current cable tray, it should be as shown in figure.
    • The components and accessories of cable tray are made from aluminum or steel se
    ctions which not get rusted or with surfaces by additional layer from EPOXY Paint.
    • Cable tray should be earthed as pipes and metal Structures carrying conductors.
    • The cut terminals should be smooth enough in order not to scratch the cables.
     

     
     
     

    • Distance between every two neighboring cable son any tray shouldn't exceed the e
    xternal diameter for the bigger one in case of single phase cables and shouldn't exc
    eed double the external diameter for the bigger one in case of 3phasecables.
    • If the cables are close apart from each other on the tray, grouping factor should be
    applied.
    • The trays are installed in equal spaces every(1.5m) at most and special connections
    of trays should be from the same manufacturer.
    • Incase of using trays with cross-sectional metal laminations, the distance between t
    wo successive laminations doesn't exceed 30 cm.
