The maximum deformation of the cable trays in the event of fire must be minimised in order to reduce the height of the installation, whilst taking the minimum distance to the false ceiling into account.
The type of cable tray (e.g., solid, ventilated), ampacity (current-carrying limit) requirements, and the type and voltage rating of cable used determines the allowable fill for each cable tray.
