34、PERMISSION FROM UL CONSTRUCTION 4 General 4.1 A strut-type channel raceway system shall be constructed to facilitate compliance with the requirements for the installation of insulated wires and cables as given in the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. 4.2 A component of a strut-type channel rac

35、eway system shall comply with the requirements for the construction, performance, and use of that component. 4.3 A strut-type channel raceway shall consist of one or more pieces formed and constructed to make the raceway readily distinguishable from electrical conduit, tubing, and other raceway syst

36、ems. 4.4 A strut-type channel raceway system shall provide a complete enclosure that protects the wires installed therein against damage. The complete system, when installed as intended, shall comply with the following: a) There shall not be any openings that exceed 1/16 inch (1.59 mm) in width foll

37、owing installation of the system. b) A knockout shall completely cover the opening in which it is located, and the clearance between the knockout and the opening shall not be more than 0.030 inch (0.76 mm). 4.5 The interior surface of the strut-type channel raceway system shall have a smooth nish th

38、at is free from projections, sharp edges, burrs, ns, and other faults likely to damage wires when installed as intended. 4.6 The strut-type channel raceway shall have provisions for mounting as follows: a) Surface mounted Securement to the mounting surface by means of external retention straps at in

39、tervals not exceeding 10 feet (3.05 m) and within 3 feet (0.9 m) of a tting. b) Suspension mounted Suspension from the mounting surface by means of external hangers, threaded rods, or chains, or by means determined to be the equivalent, at intervals not exceeding 10 feet (3.05 m). 4.7 For strut-type
