UEP - Tray Sizing As Per NEC-392.9

The document provides calculations for sizing cable trays based on National Electrical Code (NEC) 392.9. It lists the cable types and quantities installed in a ladder tray. It calculates: 1) The sum of the cross-sectional areas of cables smaller than 4/0 AWG (5.016 sq in). 2) The sum of the diameters of 4/0 AWG and larger cables (37.961 mm). 3) The minimum allowable width per NEC Table 392.9(A1)(1)(C) (16.4184 in) and selects the standard width of 18 in.

Tray size Calculations for 4/0 AWG (107 sq.mm) or larger ca

The sum of the cross-sectional


areas of all cables smaller than 4/0 AWG = 107 sq.mm

The sum of the diameters, in mm, of all cables 107.2
mm (in inches, of all 4/0 AWG) and larger

Condition to meet is A < B or

C
Minimum allowable width is 18" that is > 16.4184"

Hence minimum inside width of Selected Tray should be 18"


that's 450 mm for this set of cables.

Note:

The value A in formula in C only applies to cables


smaller than 4/0. The value Sd only applies to 4/0
and larger cables, which must be single layer
