    Does cable tray belong to fire protection or electrical categories

    Cable Trays have been permitted in the hazardous (classified) locations in the National Electrical Code for Class I (flammable vapor and gases) since the 1978 NEC and have been used extensively in chemical plants, refineries, and other types of facilities. Cable tray systems provide a safe, organized, and flexible method for supporting insulated conductors and cables in commercial and industrial electrical installations. When properly selected and installed, cable trays simplify routing, improve accessibility, and support future expansion while. The primary rulebook of cable tray systems is called NEC Article 392. It instructs us on how to construct them, where to locate them, and how to stuff them with wires without using too much. Here is what they do: They Make Safe Paths for Fire System Wires Cable trays are made from materials that resist fire. This article is about code requirements.
