UNE EN 61537 : 2002
The standard UNE EN 61537: 2002 stipulates that for trays
with electrical continuity characteristic (metallic), it is
mandatory to maintain continuity by one equipotential
connection and one or several earthing connections, if
required and dependant on the eventual use of the tray
system
The aemsa joint system and also the different accessories
that form part of the range, comply with the electrical
continuity test established in the standard, ensuring an
impedance of 50 m! maximum.
To maintain this impedance value with bolted accessories, it
is recommended that torque values of greater than 5 Nm are
used together with the recommended joints

PERMISSIBLE LOADINGS
The permissible load values correspond to an evenly
distributed load that can be applied, with guaranteed safety,
in normal conditions of use, according to the results
obtained from the test. This is based on the criteria of the
standard for cable trays, UNE-EN 61537:2002 (CEI61537)
type iii test, of point 10.3
The tests were performed according to the layout of the
trays recommended in figure 1. The trays were loaded
evenly using the joints and fixings recommended in this
catalogue for each tray type, as well as the horizontal
supports corresponding to each tray type and width. Three
tests were performed for each tray type with a different
distance between supports (L). The joints are placed at L/5
from the central support.
Figure 1: Tray layout used for the load test
• L: Recommended distance between supports. It can be 1m, 1.5m or 2m depending on the tray size and the applied load
• L/5: Recommended distance for couplers between trays relative to support points.
The allowed maximum load (kg/m) is determined from the longitudinal and transversal deflections (see below). These
deflection must be below the following values shown. The maximum longitudinal deflection must be below 1% of the distance
between supports. The maximum transversal deflection must be below 5% of the width of the tray.
Example of the transversal and longitudinal deflection
Loading Tables for each tray type according to the distance between supports is
indicated in the following table:
SUSPENDED INSTALLATION
• Tray widths of 100, 150, 200 and 300 – use VS suspension brackets.
• Tray widths of 400, 500 and 600 – use VSR suspension brackets.

DEFLECTION OF TRAYS AND BRACKETS
The trays may be deformed by the weight of the cabling.
The deformation, or F value, known as deflection, should not
exceed the value indicated by the UNE-EN 61537:2002
standard (CEI 61537), which requires compliance with the
following:
On the supports, the maximum deformation or deflection
(Fmax) takes place at the end, and its limit value complies

IDENTIFICATION
All tray sections must be identified in order to comply with
the legislation in force, so that the manufacturer, tray type
and EC marking are clearly visible. In this regard, aemsa tray
is identified by means of an independent marker that is
attached between the rods on each length.

RESISTANCE TO CORROSION AND CHEMICAL AGENTS
The atmosphere's action on metals is one of the main
problems caused by corrosion, leading to major economic
losses due to suitable basic criteria in the design and
location of the installations. Corrosion is an electrochemical
phenomenon since it is caused by the loss of mass of metals
through the ionisation of these metals when an electrical
current is run through an electrolyte.
Corrosion is promoted by three fundamental factors:
Moisture (without moisture there is no atmospheric
corrosion, since it is the water that acts as the electrolyte),
atmospheric pollution, particularly concentrations of SO that
have a major capacity to damage metal, and the
concentration of chlorides (Cl ions), that are located near
marine environments.
Corrosion causes the oxidation of the material, giving rise to
a continuous loss of mass, which contributes to the gradual
loss of the characteristics of the metals, both mechanical
and electrical continuity, with the major risk that this entails
for the installation and the users.
As indicated in the Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation,
when the presence of corrosive or pollutant substances,
including water, may provoke corrosion or degradation, the
parts of the cable management system that are prone to
damage must be duly protected or manufactured in a
material that is resistant to the substance. Moreover, it is
expressed that there cannot be any mutual contact between
different metals that may form electrochemical reactions,
unless specific measures are taken to avoid the
consequences of these contacts.
In this regard, suitable coatings are provided for aemsa wire
cable tray according to where they are to be located. These
coatings are:
ZINC (silver)
This is carried out in accordance with the instructions of the
UNE EN 12329-01 standard: “Protection from metal
corrosion. Electrolytic zinc coatings on iron or steel”. Zinc
coating (silver) is advisable for environments with a
moderately aggressive environmental with a minimum
thickness of 8 microns.
HOT DIP GALVANISED COATING
Hot dip galvanised coating is a process based on the direct
immersion of the parts in a zinc bath smelted according to
the UNE EN ISO 1461 standard: 99, so that fairly high micron
levels (above 100) can be obtained for aemsa wire cable
tray.. This type of coating is conceived for installations
subject to high environmental aggression.
IMPORTANT: Hot dip galvanised coating is a coating
whose immersion process (in zinc vats), leads to certain
defects of appearance, such as whitish stains, irregular
surfaces and in some cases grey stains or decolouration.
All these defects are normal to this type of coating. They
are admissible according to UNE EN ISO 1461 standard,
and do not reduce the protection for the product. To
minimise this type of aesthetic problem, appropriate
storage recommendations should be followed.
However, in moist environments, the initial appearance of
whitish stains or a dark colour are inevitable, although they
disappear in time and will eventually take on the
characteristic grey hue of hot dip galvanising.

STAINLESS STEEL
While it is not a surface coating as such, stainless steel
provides excellent corrosion behaviour thanks to the
characteristics of the actual material. The aemsa wire cable
tray series can be supplied with this material, which is
suitable for a highly aggressive environment. The quality of
the stainless steel is AISI 304.
The following table is a quick guide to help in the choice of
the type of tray to choose in each type of installation,
according to the environmental characteristics.

INTERIOR INSTALLATION / NON AGGRESSIVE
ENVIRONMENT:
Those in which, as a result of the location of the installation
and the processes performed in them, the atmosphere is
barely polluted, ie, pollution-free environments, with low
levels of moisture.
INTERIOR/AGGRESSIVE ENVIRONMENT:
Aggressive interior environments are those which are
polluted and moist as a result of the location of the
installation and /or the type of activity. Eg: installations with
high emissions of water vapour, locations with major levels of
moisture where the wetting times of the installation are high,
high levels of SO2 caused by the location of the installation
or by the actual process, high levels of chlorides due to
closeness to coasts, etc. Any of the above cases, or a
combination of them, may give rise to an interior installation
rated as aggressive in terms of corrosion.
EXTERIORS WITH A MODERATELY AGGRESSIVE
ENVIRONMENT:
Any external installation will be subjected, by its very nature,
to more extreme environmental conditions than an interior
application.
SEVERELY AGGRESSIVE EXTERIORS:
This case may be compared to locations with a high level of
pollution, such as urban area, coastal areas, areas with high
environmental humidity, etc.
FOOD INDUSTRY:
Gives good resistance to freshwater, corrosion, natural
atmospheres and foodstuffs.
