    Best way to run cables in conduit

    I have a 20mm steel conduit drop to an accessory box buried in the wall. It was previously used for lighting cables and had 2 x 1.5 t+e and 1 x 1.5 3+e squeezed into it. There is no actual conduit system installed - the conduit simply goes into the loft and ends. There is some kind of rubber...

Both points to carry an LED light fitting so minimal current. Is it safe to use 10mm conduit? BS7671...

    Running Network cable next to power cable?

    So the electrician made a hole in the outside wall to run the cable for the floodlights and in the same hole he threaded through the CAT 6 cable (shielded outdoor cable) for the POE camera. Is this safe as I always thought you do not run network cable in the same conduit as electrical cables?

    Burying 2.5mm ring circuit cable under concrete floor in flexi conduit

    What is your view about such an installation technique? Asked to finish extension wiring and the installer has snaked wire all over the floor in white flexi.

    UK Are blue through crimps allowed on ring circuit.

    I'm a trainee electrician and I was working with a qualified electrician extending a 32A ring circuit and we were using 2.5mm single conductors (CPC was 2.5mm aswell) going through PVC conduit and then going through steel trucking. And to connect the old ring conductors with the new extended...

    Went to a job today and noticed a length of metal conduit going across a pathway. The metal conduit is not earthed.

    I just wondered what people’s thoughts were as to weather it should be earthed being an extraneous conductive part? It’s fixed to the concrete floor and if there was a break down in insulation there could be a potential difference. If you do bond it could it be introducing a risk? 1598092922...
