Cable Tray Sizing Program

This document is a cable tray sizing program from Cooper B-Line that calculates the necessary cable tray dimensions for a project based on information about the cables. It requests project details and cable specifications, such as number of conductors, size, quantity and diameter for each cable. It then calculates the total cross-sectional area and weight of cables to determine the minimum allowable tray width and depth according to NEC codes. The output provides the tray sizing details and applicable NEC article.

being used, and answer any of the pop-up questions.
4) Choose the inside tray depth being specified.
5) Enter all cable information as directed. Only the cable
quantities and diameters are required. All other information
is optional.
6) Once all cable information is entered hit calculate.
7) Once the calculate button has been selected, the program
will take you to the output page, where the tray size needed
will be displayed, as well as the article of the NEC that it falls
under.
8) This page can then be printed or saved.
