13 Swifts S steel wire cable tray protection against corrosion and loading graphs Protection against corrosion Cable trays are mainly exposed to atmospheric corrosion The environment in which the cable trays are installed is therefore the main criterion in the choice of surface treatment or type of steel EZ Electroplated zinc Standard EN The cable tray, manufactured using untreated steel wire, is pickled and then immersed in an electrolyte containing zinc. Zinc is then deposited on it by passing an electric current Loading graphs 28 mm depth (EZ and ) idths /50 /00 50 /200 /300 A smooth bluish-grey, fairly glossy appearance is obtained depending on the ph value of the electrolytic bath used. The colour and gloss have no negative or positive effect on the corrosion resistance of the coating Hot dip galvanised after manufacture Standard BS EN ISO 46 (formerly BS729) The cable trays or accessories manufactured from untreated steel sheet or wire are degreased and pickled before being immersed in a bath of molten zinc. The whole part is therefore covered with a thick layer of zinc A light grey, slightly rough appearance is obtained NOTE : Any white marks due to the formation of zinc hydroxycarbonate which might appear on the surface have no influence on the corrosion resistance. This is in fact the principle on which galvanic protection is based Pre-galvanised steel Standard BS EN 0327 : Grade DX5D Before manufacture, a coating of zinc is deposited by continuous immersion on the steel sheets or wires. The appearance of the components is now smooth and grey Stainless steel Standard BS EN 0088 : Number 440 (equivalent to 36L) Since it contains molybdenum, stainless steel 36L offers almost perfect corrosion resistance in all types of industry, especially in highly aggressive halogen-containing environments (fluorine and chlorine) Dacromet A coating based on zinc and aluminium is obtained, giving the parts a smooth, light grey appearance with no grain Dacromet offers protection equivalent to that of and is only used for small accessories and fixings, which are difficult to hot dip galvanise Interior installation, normal environment Exterior installation, urban environment Chemical industries, nitrate explosives, photography, decoration Marine, aggressive, sulphurous (weak concentration) environments EZ Acid or alkaline environments Food production Halogen environments kg/m kg/m Span (s) 52 mm depth (EZ and ) Span (s) S 02 mm depth (EZ and ) kg/m S 2/50 2/ /200 2/300 2/ / /50 4/ /200 4/300 4/400 05/ Span (s) S s idths idths recommended possible d Deflection (d) Deflection (d) span (s) 200 span (s) NOTE : For loading information on stainless steel S tray, contact our Technical Support Team on

14 Swifts S steel wire cable tray loading information ire carrying capacity Maximum load capacity of S cable trays for a cable density of 0 25 kg / cm 2 /m Tray width Maximum capacity (kg / m) 28 mm depth 52 mm depth 02 mm depth Choice and position of supports Change of level and / or direction : the support must be placed with /5th span of the tray fittings. It is recommended to place supports at the start and end of 90 bends. For bends of large radius, an extra support should be allocated in the middle of the bend Support position examples Test method The cable tray is tested over two continuous overhanging spans. It is fixed on brackets. The deflection is measured in the middle of the span using 2 sensors placed on the sides of the cable trays. The result is the average value of these 2 measurements. The coefficient to be applied to the permissible load if tray joint is L/2= 0 7 SPLICING L/5 L L 0 4 L : measurements taken in the middle of the span. Any type of tray joint Maximum deflection : /200L NB : The maximum deflection of /300th or /200th is always obtained if the load is less than the safe working load (failure load divided by a normalised safety coefficient of 7). For the supports, the safe working load is the lowest value of either the breaking load divided by 7 or the deformation equal to the length of the bracket or hanger divided by 20 Recommendations for installing supports In terms of spacing the supports, the cable trays should be placed in accordance with the tray joint position indicated on the diagram below Cable tray L = cut to size Cable tray L = 3 metres Cable tray L = 3 metres Coupling points Coupling points L/5 L/5 ire = L L L L Sheet = 0 8 L start 2 nd support 3 rd support 4 th support 5 th support As the maximum bending stress is situated at the point of coupling, never put the support under the point of coupling. Place the tray joint /5 along the support L Safety In the event of critical overload, a mesh structure becomes deformed like a hammock, but is unlikely to collapse Swifts S tray cannot be used as a walkway. It is designed primarily as a cable management system Note : Cut sections have relatively sharp edges and protective gloves must be worn during handling 8

15 Swifts S steel wire cable tray electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Electromagnetic disturbance is emitted by a source (such as telephones, lighting and power cables) polluting a victim (such as computer hardware and data cables) The transmission of electromagnetic disturbances is known as coupling. An EMC problem only occurs when the three influencing factors (source, coupling and victim) are evident. To obtain good EMC, it is necessary to eliminate one of the three elements or reduce its effect Critical factors to reduce electromagnetic disturbance Maintain electrical continuity with a suitable steel wire cable tray and low resistance couplers Maintain connection to the earth network every 5 to 20 m Maintain a 20 to 30 cm separation between power and data cables (depending on required standard) Maintain a 90 angle when crossing power and data cables 9
