Latest National Cable Tray Standards

IEC 61537:2023 specifies requirements and tests for cable tray systems and cable ladder systems intended for the support and accommodation of cables and possibly other electrical equipment in electrical and/or communication systems installations. 50 in the development and approval of the document at the time it was developed. Consensus does not. In this installment of our Code Corner series, Ryan Mayfield focuses on the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) changes concerning cable trays, particularly section 690. Historically, the NEC has allowed cable trays, but has lacked specific guidelines for sizing conductors and using smaller. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Standards and guideline publications, of which the document herein is one, are developed through a voluntary Standards development process.
