Cable Tray & Conduit Sizing

The document outlines a 5-step process for cable tray or conduit sizing. It includes inputting cable data, an automatic calculation of tray/conduit requirements that results in errors, and a manual calculation to select the proper tray width or conduit diameter. Cable sizes are based on IEC standards and low or medium voltage ratings for armored vs non-armored cables. Tray or conduit sizing must follow NEC codes and allow for fill ratios of multi-core cables.
