Distance between cable trays and fire protection

This design note adopts a 300 mm horizontal air-gap separation between primary and secondary life-safety trays on roofs, based on these regulatory requirements and established UK guidance. BS 7671:2018 +A2:2022 states: “Circuits of safety services shall be independent of other. The distance between trays affects not only the ease of maintenance but also cable protection, heat dissipation, and system stability. The spacing between trays, whether horizontal or vertical. Although BS 7671 touches on the subject of cable supports, it does not detail specifically what these support distances should be. UK electrical and.
