Is it also necessary to have steel plates embedded in the structure for wall-mounted small-sized instrument cable trays? For example, in a 200x100 size, is it possible to drill holes in the concrete wall and use expansion bolts to fix steel sections as supports for installing cable trays?
To be honest, I’ve hardly ever seen steel plates embedded in the cable trays for instruments. Firstly, they are lightweight, so there’s no need for them; Secondly, the design of these instrument trays isn’t detailed or thorough enough to determine the appropriate location for embedding such steel plates
No need; simply use 200-gauge galvanized steel plates and expansion bolts to fix it to the wall
In the case of climbing up the exterior wall of a control room, vertical cable trays are usually quite wide; they contain hundreds of cables and are quite heavy. Is it necessary to embed steel plates in this case?
No need; I suggest you take a look at the installation standard atlas for 04D701-03 cable trays, which contains many methods for supporting such trays
