Question: Can you provide a guide on how to size cable basket required to carry various twin and earth power cables?

Answer: Please see attached loading graphs - Swifts steel wire cable tray loading - which provides a guide as to the loading each size of steel wire tray to use. You will need to work out the total weight of cables to be installed. This data can also be found on page 277 of the 2007-2009 Legrand catalogue.
