How to calculate cable tray supports and hangers

How to calculate cable tray supports and hangers

Cable tray support quantity can be calculated using a simple formula: Support Quantity = Total Length ÷ Support Spacing + 1 20 ÷ 2 + 1 = 11 supports In a typical project, a 20-meter cable tray with 2-meter spacing requires 11 supports. Our free calculator helps you determine the correct tray size based on NEC and IEC standards. Follow these simple steps: Define Tray Dimensions: Enter the width and depth of your planned cable tray (in mm or inches). This guide covers the critical steps, from selecting the right electrical cable tray and performing accurate cable fill calculations to managing a safe cable pull through and ensuring all bonding and grounding requirements are met. IEC 61537 covers cable tray and cable ladder systems for the support and accommodation of cables, while NEC Article 392 governs cable.
