Tray size Calculations for 4/0 AWG (107 sq.mm) or larger cables installed in the same cable tray with cables smaller than 4/0 AWG

The sum of the cross-sectionalareas of all cables smaller than 4/0 AWG = 107 sq.mm (A)

The sum of the diameters, in mm, of all cables 107.2 mm (in inches, of all 4/0 AWG) and larger multiconductor cables in the same cable tray with smaller cables = Sd

Hence minimum inside width of Selected Tray should be 18" that's 450 mm for this set of cables.

The value “A” in formula in C only applies to cables smaller than 4/0. The value “Sd” only applies to 4/0 and larger cables, which must be single layer
