Cable Tray Sizing Program

This document is a cable tray sizing program from Cooper B-Line that helps users calculate the necessary size of a cable tray for a given set of cables. The program asks for project information like the name, location, contractor, and engineer. It then requests information on the type, quantity, and diameter of each cable to be routed through the tray. Based on this cable data, the program calculates the total cable area and weight and determines the minimum required tray width and depth according to National Electrical Code standards. It provides comments and instructions on using the program to size cable trays for electrical projects.
