If an EGC cable is installed in or on a cable tray, it should be bonded to each or alternate cable tray sections via grounding clamps (this is not required by the NEC® but it is a desirable practice). These systems provide an efficient and adaptable solution for managing a wide range of cables, including power cables, control cables, Ethernet, and fiber optic lines. An EGC conductor in or on the cable tray. This provides a safe path for any stray electrical currents to flow safely into the earth, avoiding damage to your equipment and reducing the risk of electric shocks. For systems with 110kV and above, where the neutral point is effectively grounded, the metal sheath of single-core cables should be directly connected to the substation grounding.
