10 The connectors between metal cable trays should be directly crimped with at least two sets of galvanized steel bolts with anti loosening gaskets to achieve conductive connection, or insulated multi strand copper wires with crimped tinned copper connectors should be used for. 10. Each multi-conductor cable with its individual EGC conductor. If an EGC cable is installed in or on a cable. If an EGC cable is installed in or on a cable tray, it should be bonded to each or alternate cable tray sections via grounding clamps (this is not required by the NEC® but it is a desirable practice). For galvanized cable troughs, zinc is a good conductor and resistant to oxidation, and the tray's connecting plates are also galvanized, allowing direct use of. If the answer is yes, the tray must be earthed so fault current can flow and operate the protective device ¹. 1 allows the tray itself to serve as a CPC if its cross-section and continuity meet the adiabatic equation.
