Module 1 - Lesson 3 Part 4: Raceways

Raceways

An enclosed channel designed to route, protect, and organize electrical wiring within a building or structure.

Raceways

It serves as a physical pathway for electrical conductors and ensures that wiring installations comply with safety standards.

Underfloor Raceways

Installed beneath flooring to provide hidden wiring for large office buildings, data centers, and conference rooms.

Underfloor Raceways

Aesthetic, high-tech, and modular workspaces where visible wiring is unwanted.

Overhead Raceways

Used to route electrical cables above work areas, often in industrial plants, warehouses, and commercial buildings.

Overhead Raceways

Typical in open industrial spaces where ground space is limited.

Surface Raceways

Used to conceal and route wiring along walls, ceilings, and furniture.

Surface Raceways

Best for retrofitting existing buildings without breaking walls.

Cable Trays

An open raceway system designed to support multiple electrical cables in large installations.

Cable Trays

Used in high-density wiring in factories, data centers, and commercial buildings.

Wireways

An enclosed metal or plastic box used for routing electrical conductors, often seen in panelboards and control panels.

Wireways

Typically used in indoor electrical distribution, where easy access for maintenance is needed.
