ARMOR-X®
CABLE TRAY INSTALLATION

INTRODUCTION
When pulling ARMOR-X® cable into cable trays the same approach should be used as for cable installed into conduit.
Care must be given to the run lengths, number of cable turns, and cable sheave size to insure the cable’s maximum
pulling tension, minimum bending radius, and maximum allowable sidewall pressure are not exceeded subjecting the
cable to possible damage.

When pulling around bends in cable trays, excessive sidewall pressure can damage the cable. Sidewall pressure can be
reduced by using a large radius sheave. Many times a large radius sheave cannot be used and an assembly of multiple
smaller sheaves is used. Care should be given to prevent damage due to high sidewall pressure on the individual
sheaves. The individual sheaves should have a minimum inside radius of 1.25 inches with at least one sheave per 20°
of the bend. A three sheave assembly for a 90° bend should be used.

Rollers and sheaves must be well maintained and lubricated to achieve the lowest possible coefficient of friction.

ROLLER MOUNTING
• Rollers must be properly spaced to prevent the cable from touching the tray.
• Rollers must be free turning.
When the tray changes direction, vertically or horizontally, sheave radii must be large enough to meet the minimum
bending and maximum allowable sidewall pressure limits.

Roller Spacing
Roller spacing will vary with:
• Cable weight
• Cable tension
• Cable construction
• Roller height above the tray

To estimate roller spacing the following equation can be used.

Where:
s = distance between rollers in feet
h = height of top roller above the tray bottom in feet
T = tension in pounds
W = total cable assembly weight in pounds/foot

The distance will be conservative for armored cable due to the fact that the equation assumes a perfectly flexible cable.
When possible, a length of cable should be used to determine maximum spacing under no tension as a check for the
calculated values.

CABLE TRAY INSTALLATION ARMOR-X®

PULLING TENSIONS
Pulling tensions for cable trays are approached the same as predicting tensions for pulling cable in conduit, adjusting
the coefficient of friction to reflect using rollers and sheaves.

Horizontal Straight Sections

The tension for horizontal straight sections of cable tray can be estimated with the following equation.

Where:
Tout = tension out of a section in pounds
μ = coefficient of dynamic friction (μ = 0.15)
W = total cable assembly weight in pounds/foot
L = straight section length in feet
Tin = tension into a section in pounds

The coefficient of friction (μ) equal to 0.15 accounts for the low rolling friction of well maintained rollers.

Inclined Straight Section

Use the following equation for pulling up an inclined straight section.

Where:
Tout = tension out of a section in pounds
W = total cable assembly weight in pounds/foot
= straight section angle from horizontal in radians
L = straight section length in feet
μ = coefficient of dynamic friction (μ = 0.15)
Tin = tension into a section in pounds

ARMOR REMOVAL
The depth stop on the cable slitting saw is so that the blade cuts through the ribs of the corrugated sheath and scores
the bottom ribs without cutting through to the core. Use a hacksaw to cut cylindrically to length. The aluminum can
now be removed using a screwdriver to separate the slit and remove the sheath. When slitting cables with small outer
diameters, 1 inch diameter and less, use the small cable guide to stay on center.

13
ARMOR-X®
CABLE TRAY INSTALLATION

VERTICAL SECTIONS

When pulling straight up or down the equation for inclined pulls simplifies to the following equations.

Pulling Straight Up

Tout = W L + Tin pounds

Pulling Straight Down

Tout = - W L + Tin pounds

Where:
W = total cable assembly weight in pounds/foot
L = straight vertical section in feet

Tension at Bends
If the sheaves in the bends in cable trays are well maintained they will not have the multiplying effect on tension that
bends in conduit have. The sheaves will turn with the cable allowing the coefficient of friction to be assumed zero.
This results in the commonly used approximation for conduit bend equation (ewmf) becoming one. Even though there
is no multiplying effect, the cable bends around the sheave. A 200 pound adder per bend should be used for a three
conductor 500 kcmil copper conductor armored cable. If the sheaves are not well maintained the bend will have a
multiplying effect and must be used to calculate the tension in the pull using the same equations used for installations
in conduit.

Tension Entering Cable Tray

Since the tension entering the cable tray is rarely zero, it is critical that the tension required to remove the cable from
the reel should be used to calculate the total tension for the installation.

Frequently it is difficult to know the location of the reel of cable until the cable is to be installed. The following
equations are used to approximate the tension entering the cable tray and an be used to determine how critical the reel
position will be for the cable pull.

Feeding Off Reel Horizontally

When the cable reel can be elevated so that the cable can be pulled directly into the tray the following equation should
be used to approximate the tension required to remove the cable from the reel.

Treel = 25 W pounds

Where:
Treel = tension in pounds
W = total cable assembly weight in pounds/foot

14
ARMOR-X®
CABLE TRAY INSTALLATION ARMOR-X®

VERTICAL SECTIONS

Feeding Off Reel Vertically

When the cable reel must be positioned directly below the cable tray the following equation should be used to
approximate the tension required to pull the cable into the tray.

T = W L pounds

Where:
W = total cable assembly weight in pounds/foot
L = straight vertical section length in feet

The tension can now be approximated for pulling the cable into the tray from a horizontal position and when the reel is
placed directly under the tray. To estimate the tension entering the cable tray when the reel must be placed away from
and below the entrance to the tray use the equation for feeding off the reel vertically where the height (L) is the vertical
distance between the reel and a cable tray. To allow for ending forces as the cable comes off the reel, the minimum
tension added should be 25 W.

aluminum armored, thermoplastic jacketed, 600 volt cable with grounding conductor for use in aerial installations, metal
racks, cable trays, troughs or continuous rigid cable supports. The cable will be listed Type MC-HL for Classes I, II and III,
Division 1 and 2, hazardous locations and have three symmetrically placed grounds to reduce problems associated with
pulse-width modulated ac drives. This cable is capable of operation continuously at a conductor temperature of 90°C in wet
or dry locations.
• Standards
The following standards will form part of this specification - ASTM B8, ICEA S-95-658/NEMA WC70, UL 44, UL 1569.
• Conductor
The conductor will be Class B compressed concentric stranded bare copper in accordance with ASTM B3 and B8
and ICEA.
• Insulation
The insulation will be XLP meeting the requirements of the referenced standards. The insulation thickness will
be listed in ICEA and the minimum spot thickness will not be less than 90% of the listed amounts. Individual
conductors will be color coded per ICEA S-58-679, using Method 3, Table 2 for sizes AWG 4 and larger, and using
Method 1, Table 2 for sizes AWG 6 and smaller.
• Assembly
The insulated conductors will be cabled round with three symmetrically placed ground wires, fillers and covered with
a binder tape.
• Armor
Continuous corrugated copper-free aluminum sheath shall be applied over the assembly. The continuous sheath will
be impervious to moisture, liquids and gases.
• Jacket
