add_filter( 'acf_tablefield/get_table/attr/table', function( $attributes, $param ) {

	/* Function Parameters:

		$attributes = array(
			'class' => (array),
			'style' => (array),
		);

		$param = array(
			'post_id' => (integer),
			'field' => (array), // ACF fields data
			'selector' => (string), // Alias for the ACF field name
			'section_key' => (string), // 'thead', 'tbody', 'tfoot', empty on table and caption filter
			'col_index' => (integer, false), // false on none cell filters
			'item_data' => (array),
			'table_data' => (array),
		);
	*/

	if ( 'my_field_name' !== $param['selector'] ) {

		return $attributes;
	}

	$attributes['class'][] = 'custom';
