Answer: Yes, that’s okay. Pluggable electrical installations with flexible cables may be laid in cable trays as per NEN1010.
Rationale:
- NEN1010:2020 521.9.1 A flexible cable may be used for fixed installation if the provisions of this standard are met.
- NEN1010:2020 526 electrical connections 526.2 note 2 refers to the use of connections according to EN16535. Wieland GST18, GST15, RST16 and RST20 connectors (i.e. male and female, both from the Wieland brand) comply with standard EN61535.
- Applications relate to e.g. NEN1010:2020 table 52.A.3 installation methods 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 30, 31, 32, 33, 40, 42, 44, 46, 47, 51, 53, 56, 57, 58, 60, 70, 72, 73. Methods 8, 9, 31, 32, 34, among others, involve installation in a cable duct.
- NPR5310, Section 522, also extensively details pluggable electrical installations as per NEN1010, including in cable trays.
