SELECTION METHODS
Not all cables are the same. To select the perfect cable support system, you need to know which types of
cables are to be laid. Are they sensitive data cables, which must be laid at a certain distance from each
other on account of the necessary shielding or power cables (for which a not in-considerable heat
buildup must be allowed). For all these applications POWERTRACK can offer tailor made and
appropriate system solutions.

POWERTRACK Cable Trays

Perforated cable trays are generally used in
situations where moderate heat generation and short to
intermediate span of support. The continuous slots on
flanges make these convenient to cut at any length and
connected without the need for drilling at site. Depend
upon the cable load, POWERTRACK have various sizes
such as Light, Medium & Heavy Duty Cable Trays.

POWERTRACK Cable Ladders

POWERTRACK Cable Ladder is used to provide rigid
support for large cross-sections cables, multiple runs of
pipe work, conduit and tubing. Ladder systems are the
appropriate system with medium to long support,
spanning between 12 to 30 feet. The high load capacity
and good ventilation ensure perfect cable lying.

POWERTRACK Cable Wire Baskets

For installation of light cables such as IT cabling,
Telecommunication and fibre optic cables supported on
short spans. Also suitable for use in false ceilings and
cavity floors.

POWERTRACK Cable Trunking

Metal surface trunking is very good protection to
enclosed conductors from impact, moisture, and
chemical vapors. It can be used to shield sensitive circuits
from electromagnetic interference, and also can prevent
emission of such interference from enclosed power
cables. When installed with proper sealing fittings, a
conduit will not permit the flow of flammable gases and
vapors, which provides protection from fire and
explosion hazard in areas handling volatile substances.

POWERTRACK 12
POWERTRACK Channel Support
Systems
POWERTRACK Metal framing Channels and its
components are used with POWERTRACK fittings /
accessories to configure and construct complete
cable support systems. Channel lengths, fittings and
cantilever arms can also be combined with Cable
Trays and Ladders to achieve the highest degree of
system design flexibility, in single or multiple runs
of cable, conduit, tubing, etc.. In addition, it is used
to mount, brace, support, and connect lightweight
structural loads in building construction.

HOW TO PLAN IN SELECTING THE CABLE

SUPPORTING SYSTEM

An important criterion for the selection of the

correct cable support system is the cable volume,
for which there must be sufficient space in the cable
tray/ladder. As the cables are never packed tightly
together or are absolutely parallel, it is not enough
to base the volume calculation exclusively on the
cable diameter.

The National Electrical Code allows for 50% fill of

ventilated cable tray for control wiring. This rule
requires that all the individual cable cross-sectional
areas added up may not exceed one half the cable
tray area. The cable tray area is equal to the width
times the load depth.

In actual practice with data cables, however, the

cable tray becomes completely full in reaching the
“50% cable fill”. This is due to the empty spaces
between the cables.

A realistic calculation is provided by the

formula (2r)2. The diameter says about the actual
space required by a cable. The value of (2r)2 reflects
the realistic space requirements, including the
compartments.

POWERTRACK 13
Cable Height
The cable height may not exceed the edge height
of the cable tray. In such a case by finding required
volume, interplay with combination of tray height
and width (Usable Cross Section). It is possible to
select a narrow, high tray or wide flat tray as per the
application and environment condition.

Volume Reserve
When selecting the system, a volume reserve of at
least 30% should be planned for possible later
installations.

Separation of System Levels

When selecting the volume, pay attention to the
different conductors. To separate
different voltage levels, you must take the
required spacings into account.

according to type.

Common Corrosion Situations
Finally, the most common occurrences of contact
between dissimilar metals within support systems
are :

a. Where stainless steel components are being fixed

to a carbon steel structure

b. Where galvanised or zinc plated components are

being fixed onto a stainless steel support system

c. Where copper components (e.g. copper tubing

or MICC cable) are being installed onto a
galvanised steel support system.

In relation to these three sets of conditions the

following comments apply :

Stainless Steel – Mild Steel

This situation has been the subject of much

consideration and debate over recent years,
particularly in the offshore energy industry.
The latest metallurgical advice from both the
manufacturers of stainless steel and other
bodies is that these metals are sufficiently
close together in the Galvanic Series for any
electrolytic effects to be ignored in normal
offshore environments. One exception is when
a small mild steel (or galvanised mild steel)
component is in direct contact with a large
mass of stainless steel. It is now accepted that
the application of a simple paint coating to one
of the surfaces will provide sufficient insulation
to break the electrical circuit, effectively
eliminating any problems.

Galvanised Components on
Stainless Steel

The zinc coating will provide very limited

protection to its underlying steel because of
the rapidity with which it will erode away. Once
exposed the base steel (often a fastener) will
be aggressively corroded causing unsightly
staining of the stainless steel and premature
failure to the component. In the case of
fasteners such failure could be catastrophic to
the installation so appropriate stainless steel
fasteners should always be used with a
stainless steel support system.

Copper on Zinc

If copper is laid directly onto a galvanised

surface the zinc will rapidly erode. Thus copper
cable should always have an insulating sheath
if it is to be installed on galvanised cable
ladder.

These powder coatings are formulated to
meet the particular requirements of exterior
environments. They are inherently resilient
and resistant to damage and chemical or

protection to the substrate. When
subjected to high levels of ultra violet light

STRUCTURAL DESIGN DATA

BEAMS
Beams are usually defined as horizontal
members which are subjected to vertical loads such
as shelves, platforms or supports for pipes, conduits
or cable trays. The following is a brief overview of
common beam configurations:

Simple Beam Continuous Beam

This beam configuration is commonly used in
An example of a simple beam is a length of channel lighting installations. The continuous beam
supported, but not fastened at either end. When a possesses traits of both the simple and fixed
load is applied, the channel will support the load beams. When equal loads are applied to all spans
because of its stiffness and allowed to flex. Simple simultaneously, the counter-balancing effect of
beam analysis is used almost universally for beam the loads on both sides of a support restricts the
comparisons, even though it is seldom practical in movement of the channel at the support, similar

hanger closely resembles a simple beam. substantially like simple beams.

Continuous beam installations can typically

support 20% more load than a simple beam of the
same span with approximately half the deflection.
Therefore, simple beam data should be used for a
general comparison only. An example of this
configuration is found in along run of channel
when installed across several supports to form a
number of spans.
Fixed Beam

This type of fixed support restricts the movement

of the ends of the channel when a load is applied.
Because of this, the stiffness of the channel at the
ends and center is employed to resist the load. The
result is a load capability which is greater than that
of an identical simple beam. The fixed beam can Deflection
be approximated by bolting or welding a length of
channel to rigid supports. Deflection, commonly referred to as “sag”, is
inherent in applying a load to a beam and
cannot be avoided. Any and all beams will deflect
when loaded. The amount of deflection will vary
depending upon the material and the stiffness or
moment of inertia. The deflection shows that
increasing the stiffness can be increased by a
variety of methods. Increasing the depth of the
channel is the most direct method.

Cantilever Beam The material used affects deflection in a manner

which is significantly different from the way in
Cantilever beams are often viewed as variations of which it affects load capacity. The deflection under

Columns are vertical members which carry loads in

column is the vertical members of a storage rack.
Both ends are restrained against rotation and

compressive stress of the material of which the
column is made. In reality, there are many factors
affecting the load capacity of a column, such as
the tendency to buckle or twist laterally
(torsional-flexural buckling), the type of
connection at the top or bottom, the eccentricity
of the load application, and material imperfections.
Several of these failure modes have been
considered in the allowable column load tables
shown in the product section of this catalogue.

Design Factors to be Considered

The loading capacity of channel depends primarily
on the material, its cross-sectional design, and the Pinned Top - Fixed Bottom (K=0.8)

Types of Loading
Concentric Loading

Loads applied to the centre of the gravity of the

column cross-section are considered concentric. A
beam that passes over and rests on the top of a
column is an example of concentric loading.

Free Top - Fixed Bottom (K=1.2)

The top is restrained against rotation but is allowed

to move laterally. The bottom is restrained against
rotation and lateral movement (translation).

Cross-Sectional Shape

There are a number of physical properties which

are important to the complete design of a channel
member; the Section Modulus designated as “Sx” or
“Sy”, Moment of Inertia designated by “Ix” or “Iy”,
and the Radius of Gyration which is given as “rx” or
“ry”. In general, a member with a large “r” makes a
better column than a member with a small “r”. Each
axis of a column has a different “r” determines the
final load capacity.
