The German standard DIN 4102-12 specifies the entire system of cable trays, accessories and cables tested in an oven that is at least 3 meters long. Locating cable tray over a boiler or in close proximity to a large furnace can produce some rather high temperatures. A good understanding of how materials perform at extreme temperatures is critical to avoid serious injuries and expensive downtime. Some general guidelines on the proper material to. There will be no circulation of air at the time a tray is loaded to capacity. By considering these factors, manufacturers can design supports that can endure temperature fluctuations: Material Composition: The choice of material plays a significant role in the temperature. This article explains the main requirements and good practices for cable tray systems, including tray types, materials, loading, supports, bonding, cable selection, and installation details.
