  • Emergency lighting cables can be run in cable trays

    Emergency lighting cables can be run in cable trays

    The baseline rule is straightforward: Type TC cable can be used for power, lighting, control, and signal circuits in cable trays (including trays with mechanically discontinuous segments up to one foot), raceways, and conduit. Cable trays are a support system for electrical cables, power, signal, and communication and optical fiber cables. NEC section 300-8 does not permit any tube, pipe, or equal for water, air gas, drainage, steam, or any service other than electrical in raceways or cable trays containing. Between lighting, switchgear, conduit, and the hundred other line items that make up a typical project BOM, tray cable is probably not the product category keeping you up at night. And it shouldn't be that's what your master distributor is for.
