If you put 4-20 mA analog signal cables and digital communication wires (such Fieldbus, Profibus, Ethernet, etc. ) in the same tray, they could interfere with each other and make noise. incorrect installation procedures in instrumentation cable trays can cause signal problems, make maintenance more frequent, create safety risks, and even waste a lot of time and money on projects. This document lists the most typical mistakes that EPC teams should not make while installing. Cable tray systems are in the path of ground fault currents. Cable tray systems are bonded together through their bolting, connectors splice plates, clamps, and bonding jumpers where there are gaps in the cable tray system. If you take what UL states literally, ANY cut to tray (ladder or wi e) would cause a loss of UL Classification. For example, when a straight section of tray is cut to length and used in conjunction with a factory fitting — this installation would also. At first, our practice in power stations, was running instrument cables on separate cable trays solid bottom and covered usually of steel [or aluminum] at the uppermost position, above the low voltage power cable trays-one feet distance- and at the lower level medium voltage shielded cables- shield.
