Cable Tray & Conduit Sizing Calculator

Calculate fill ratio, derating factors, and recommended sizes for cable trays and conduits. Add cables, set ambient temperature, and verify compliance with fill limits and current derating.

Calculation Notes

  • Fill ratio limits: conduit 40% (>2 conductors), cable tray 50% (multiconductor)
  • Grouping derating per NEC Table 310.15(C)(1) for 1 conductors
  • Temperature correction per NEC Table 310.15(B)(1) at 30°C ambient
  • Cable outer diameters are typical values for single-core PVC/XLPE
  • Current ratings based on NEC Table 310.16, 75°C column, copper conductors
