This practical guide to product selection and installation for cable tray systems was designed for engineers and installers by ABB Installation Products Ltd. (formerly Thomas & Betts). The guide contains all the information needed to design and install a safe and compliant cable tray system: different types of cable trays, available materials and finishes, installation instructions, electrical code references and more.

“Our experts have made sure to develop a guide that meets the needs of electrical contractors by including the different alternatives and applications in addition to the best practices in terms of installation,” explains David Gingras, Product Marketing Manager at ABB Installation Products Ltd. “Ladder cable tray, ventilated cable tray, solid-bottom cable tray, aluminum, fibreglass, stainless steel, everything is there. The ABB engineering team has even taken care to include its very specific expertise on zinc whiskers.”

A digital version of this handbook is available at http://tnb.ca.abb.com/cttg/. Print versions are available by contacting an ABB Installation Products (Thomas & Betts) sales representative. This complete technical guide is clearly an essential reference tool in the electrical field.
