The trays can resist corrosion. In these cable trays, aluminum and steel materials are used. These trays are non-magnetic. As the process of installation is quite convenient, the installation changes also become quite convenient.
2. • FRP cable trays have turned out to be an imperative part of the modern electrical
systems. Over the pipes, the cable trays have a unique advantage which were used
in previous days as a conduit for electrical wires. Owing to their structure, the
cable trays are more conducive, as you can carry these cable trays at any place
with ease. These cable trays have multiple strands of wires which make the
product more conducive. When it comes to taking the wires from the pipes, the
structure makes it comfortable to change which further makes it easy to carry the
cable trays anywhere.
• You can get cable trays of different types and materials. FRP cable trays India can
be availed in the form of aluminium and steel. The most popular material that is
used is the fibre-reinforced FRP or plastic. When it comes to carrying electrical
wires, FRP offers several benefits. FRP is also considered as one of the top
materials. You can install FRP trays in commercial and industrial sectors. In these
sectors, countless bunches of wires are used. FRP can also be used in pipe conduit
systems.
3. What Is FRP And Why Use It?
• FRP is fibre-reinforced plastic or polymer which is basically a composite material
that is made up of fibres and polymers. The polymer is basically a thermosetting
plastic. The fibers can be found in carbon, basalt, glass and aramid. With the help
of the process known as step growth polymerization, FRP is made.
• The plastic has been formed by bonding other materials which are homogeneous
but the physical properties are different. The result is that the polymer provides
the desired properties that are made of both components. The idea is to counter
the disadvantages of one of the components by injecting the other component's
properties in order to make the sum appear to be larger than other parts. In this
case, plastic turns out to be tough. The fiber filaments provide stiffness and
strength. Depending on the quality of both components, the strength of the
combination is determined. The pattern of the combination and the proportion
also determine the strength of the combination.
4. • FRP cable tray is also known as GRP tray which is made from the fiber, glass
reinforcement and advanced resin that are designed to support a system for
safeguarding cables from heating, managing cables and corrosive elements. There
are two types of ladder type cable trays which are widely used in building
constructions, chemical plants and residential life. These trays have high strength,
they are lightweight, you can install them with ease because of their flexible
quality and they have good anti-corrosion.
5. Prominent Types Of Cable Trays
1. Solid bottom trays fully enclose the cables which give them complete protection.
In order to make changes or execute the inspection, the tray needs to be cut. The
covered construction is also used in heat generating cables. Solid bottom tray is
vulnerable to moisture.
2. The cables in the ladder cable tray get support from a traverse bar that is placed at
fixed and regular intervals. The rungs of the ladder provide its own function.
3. The ventilated trays consist of openings mainly at the bottom which allows air to
circulate and water drainage can take place easily. At any given point, the cables
can be taken out or inserted easily. In order to prevent dust or falling objects, the
tray has the cover on the top.
4. Cable tray forms an enclosure and it has a deep trough.
5. Wire mesh tray is lighter in weight and it is widely used in telecommunication
cable networks and low voltage fibre optic applications.
6. Prime Benefits Of FRP Cable Trays
• FRP cable trays have a unique benefit. The trays can resist corrosion. In these cable
trays, aluminium and steel materials are used. These trays are non-magnetic. FRP
has a better resistance and can resist extreme conditions. Owing to its resistance
quality and non-magnetic quality, these properties lower the chances of electric
shock. FRP cable trays are lighter in weight as compared to other materials. When
it comes to dealing with heavy cable networks, FRP makes a significant difference.
It becomes much easier to install FRP cable trays by putting less effort. As the
process of installation is quite convenient, the installation changes also become
quite convenient.
