Grounding has long been a contentious issue. However, as digital high frequency devices proliferate, the difficulties become increasingly complex. Grounding refers to being connected to the earth or to a conducting body that operates in lieu of the earth. Grounding is also referred to as earthing in several international standards. Bonding is the joining of metal pieces to create electrical continuity.
Grounding is used for fire protection, electrical shock protection, electrical system ground fault prevention, lighting protection-building and electrical system, electrical noise and EMI protection, and voltage stabilization.
The goal of power grounding is to reduce the damage caused by a wire or equipment ground fault. Ground fault currents pass through cable tray systems. Where there are gaps in the cable tray system, bolting, connections, splice plates, clamps, and bonding jumpers are used to connect the cable tray system. Cable tray systems must be electrically continuous rather than mechanically continuous. Cable trays are sometimes glued to conduit, cable channels, or other wiring drops. They must also be connected to the power supply.
Power grounding is not acceptable when cable tray systems comprise solely signal and communication circuits that run at low energy levels, but cable tray grounding for lightning protection, noise, and electromagnetic interference is required. The dangers are voltage disturbances, lightning-induced voltages, and radiated EMI. If cable trays are positioned on the tops of buildings, in an outside exposed area, or in the line of lightning currents, lightning protection is a worry. A protective system such as an overhead cable system can be installed. The parameters for building lightning protection are outlined, Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems.
The tray is completely enclosed, and the gaskets and covers are designed and tested to fulfill EMI standards for the protection of the cable tray's sensitive circuits from external electric and magnetic fields. Cable trays with solid bottoms, as well as cable tray coverings, provide some shielding. Steel shielding is effective at frequencies up to around 100 kilohertz, but at higher frequencies, in the megahertz region, aluminum or copper shielding is more effective.
The sensitivity of signal systems is determined by a variety of complex parameters. Involved electronic circuitry, isolation or connection to ground, filtering, signal type and logic, signal cable type (untwisted pair, twisted pair, shielded twisted pair, coaxial cable double-shielded coaxial cable), and circuit and cable characteristic impedance Some devices are quite resistant to outside noise.
Some firms and organizations have published their own suggested procedures, which should be followed. Based on industry experience, the cable spacing criteria included in this standard are extensive. Many systems function well over shorter distances. Much is dependent on the specific installation. The typical spacing of wires in trays used in various industry standards ranges from two inches to four feet. In some cases, two inches is probably plenty.
