Cable Tray Sizing Tool Guide

This document is a cable tray sizing program from Cooper B-Line that calculates the necessary cable tray dimensions for a project based on information about the cables being installed. It prompts the user to provide project details, cable specifications including quantity and diameter for up to 20 cables, and selects a cable tray depth. It then calculates the total cable cross-sectional area and diameter, compares it to NEC requirements to determine the minimum allowable tray width, and displays the results.
