OK.....I will provide you with some reading......and you tell us what you think it says....
336.10 Uses Permitted. Type TC cable shall be permitted
to be used as follows:
(1) For power, lighting, control, and signal circuits.
(2) In cable trays.
(3) In raceways.
(4) In outdoor locations supported by a messenger wire.
(5) For Class 1 circuits as permitted in Parts II and III of
Article 725.
(6) For non?power-limited fire alarm circuits if conductors
comply with the requirements of 760.49.
(7) In industrial establishments where the conditions of
maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified
persons service the installation, and where the cable is
continuously supported and protected against physical
damage using mechanical protection, such as struts,
angles, or channels, Type TC tray cable that complies
with the crush and impact requirements of Type MC
cable and is identified for such use with the marking
Type TC?ER shall be permitted between a cable tray
and the utilization equipment or device. The cable shall
be secured at intervals not exceeding 1.8 m (6 ft).
Equipment grounding for the utilization equipment
shall be provided by an equipment grounding conductor
within the cable. In cables containing conductors
sized 6 AWG or smaller, the equipment grounding conductor
shall be provided within the cable or, at the time
of installation, one or more insulated conductors shall
be permanently identified as an equipment grounding
conductor in accordance with 250.119(B).
Exception: Where not subject to physical damage, Type
TC-ER shall be permitted to transition between cable trays
and between cable trays and utilization equipment or devices
for a distance not to exceed 1.8 m (6 ft) without
continuous support. The cable shall be mechanically supported supported
where exiting the cable tray to ensure that the minimum
bending radius is not exceeded.
(8) Where installed in wet locations, Type TC cable shall
also be resistant to moisture and corrosive agents.
Informational Note: See 310.15(A)(3) for temperature
limitation of conductors.
and
336.12 Uses Not Permitted. Type TC tray cable shall not
be installed or used as follows:
(1) Installed where it will be exposed to physical damage
(2) Installed outside a raceway or cable tray system, except
as permitted in 336.10(4) and 336.10(7)
(3) Used where exposed to direct rays of the sun, unless
identified as sunlight resistant
(4) Direct buried, unless identified for such use
all while remembering that Section 392 says this...
392.10(A) Wiring Methods. The wiring methods in Table
392.10(A) shall be permitted to be installed in cable tray
systems under the conditions described in their respective
articles and sections.
