Open-type cable trays require conduit for cables
The answer is no, most of the time, because trays are made to remain open so that the air passes around the wires to cool them. The decision to use a cable tray or a conduit does not involve a search for which one is better. They're excellent for protecting individual circuits in harsh or public areas, but they're labour‑intensive and slower on large cable counts. Cable tray types, fill rules for single-conductor and multiconductor cables, ampacity derating, separation requirements, and when to use tray vs conduit.
