Cable resonance from machine vibration can subtly degrade drive performance through noise injection, signal reflection, feedback instability, EMI, and long-term mechanical wear, often resulting in intermittent or difficult-to-diagnose faults. All illustrations, descriptions and technical information included in this document are provided as indications and can cable trays are equivalent. The mechanical and electrical characteristics, tests, certifications, overall quality management, recommendations mentioned. Standard cable trays often break in shaky places because they are too stiff. In mines or power plants, machines create a constant “shaking” feeling. This shaking makes the metal weak over time, especially where two pieces of tray meet. Think of it like bending a paperclip back and forth until it. It is written that in resonance the absolute value of the input reflection coefficient shows a periodic dependence of frequency. Cable tray systems are in the path of ground fault currents.
