Do wire mesh cable trays need to be grounded? Yes. However, while wire mesh trays offer mechanical and thermal advantages, proper grounding and bonding are critical to ensure electrical safety, NEC compliance, and long-term system reliability. Metallic cable tray systems can become energized under fault conditions, making an effective grounding. The flexibility and scalability of cable trays make them an ideal choice for environments where cable density and organization can significantly impact operational efficiency. Each multi-conductor cable with its individual EGC conductor. The base rule sounds simple, yet the real-world detail still trips experienced installers.
