This article will explore the importance of seismic resistance in cable trays, discuss when seismic braces are necessary, and help you understand how to make informed decisions for your
The proprietary channels provided an effective method of transferring lateral forces from the upper and lower levels of cable trays to the HSS bracing elements, however the middle level of cable trays did
Tested by an independent lab and stamped by a Professional Engineer, the seismic cable kits are designed to brace non-structural equipment and distribution systems to help minimize damage from
Eaton''s TOLCO seismic bracing solutions help protect people and non-structural components during an earthquake. For over 60 years, the mechanical, electrical, and fire protection trades have relied on
The most important lesson for seismic cable tray design is simple: do not treat seismic performance as an accessory. It is a core design requirement for nonstructural electrical systems in
This appendix provides the design criteria for seismic Category I cable trays and their supports. Seismic Category II cable trays and their supports are also designed utilizing the design criteria of this appendix.
The seismic performance levels of cable tray systems are presented according to current seismic design codes. A performance-based optimum seismic design procedure for cable tray
Connect cables directly to 3/8" threaded rod in trapeze installations for seismic bracing. Use 2 EZ BN 3/8 to attach cables to FAS PCH for sway bracing. Predrilled tabs allow attachment directly to concrete
Rigid-mounted conduit and cable trays are inherently very stable and subject to minimal seismic amplification. A detailed dead load design review of these systems provides ample margin for
Our team of experts can help you select the best cable tray series for your application, as well as designing your seismic bracing layout to ensure it meets applicable building codes and standards.
