Why is tray cable for instance a 2/c #10 so much more labor than a regular #10 wire in NECA MLU? is it much heavier?
Another question that ties in. If you have several runs that starts as conduit and then lanbs in cable tray and continues to it's destination and the cable called for is tray cable would/can you.
1. Run the part in conduit as single conductors then splice to the tray cable at a box when it's transistions to the cable tray
2. Run the entire run as tray cable.
I would imagine you have to look at how much the tray cable cost and the labor to splice these cables if you you the transition method. Thanks.
