Hello folks,
Just have a general questions. Its in regards to grounding cable tray. If you have a long run of cable tray that is properly grounded. I understand that grounding is in case a cable that's on the cable tray becomes shorted it will allow current to flow to ground until breaker feeding cable trips. Or at least this is how I think it works. My question is how is it safe for folks to work up in pipe racks around the cable tray. Is this not dangerous dur to the possibility of a cable in the cable tray being shorted and thus causing electrocution? Just a thought while visiting a plant and seeing folks work near cable tray with 4160 V energized cables in the tray.

From what I understand, the grounding is there to keep things safe if something goes wrong, like if a cable gets damaged and shorts out. The current would go to the ground and trip the breaker before it causes any real harm. As long as everything is installed correctly, it shouldn’t be dangerous for people working nearby.
On a side note, I recently got a cable tray to organize all the cables under my desk at home. Well, if you’re thinking about organizing your setup, I found this one: ***** . Worked well for me.
