Density of Electrical Cables/Conduits
Density of Electrical Cables/Conduits
(OP)
I'm looking for information on the weight/density of material for typical industrial heavy duty electrical cable wire as I need to design a cable tray support system.
Anybody dealt with this before?
The cable ladder allows cables to be layed to a depth of 115mm and a width of 600mm so if I can find the density of the cable, I can work out a weight per meter based on the cross sectional area of the cable ladder

In the US the tray's maximum capacity (lbs/ft) is listed as a Class number - eg 12A. The document to consult is NEMA VE-1.

I have been retired for over a year and no longer have access to this data.
