Assumption University Thailand Wireways 22 http://www.indochinaengineering.co.th/product.php?id_product=30
23
Assumption University Thailand Wireways Raceways are folded from sheet metal. General usage in open area. If outside building, specify “Raintight” Not use when risk of severe physical damage. Height: 50, 75, 100, 150, 200 mm Width: 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 mm 23
24
Assumption University Thailand Wireways Use current rated for the metal conduit. Use reduction factor, if > 30 cables. Need supports for every 1.5m. Cannot use through the wall or floor. Cannot use as grounding cable. Use no more than 20% fill. 24
25
Assumption University Thailand Auxiliary Gutters Similar to wireways Collect the cable before distribute. 25 http://www.contractortalk.com/f32/some-recent-work-34277/

32
Assumption University Thailand Fittings Accessories to be used with race way. Purpose –To firmly hang the raceway –To smoothly change the direction of raceway –To easily pull the cable into the raceway –To properly splice the cables 32
33
Assumption University Thailand Fittings - Boxes 33 Termination point (switch, receptacle) or Stop point (splice, tap) for the wiring system. Metal or non-metal. Sizing is based on the required space. Have no hole for the object larger than 7.5 mm in diameter to pass thru.
