Hi to all. I'm new and this is my first post.
I'm doing an EICR on a 3 story building split into multiple offices to let.
One thing I noticed is t+e cables in plastic trunking almost throughout (switch/socket drops, across ceilings to lights etc).
Would this be a code 2 or 3? Also would same...
Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm looking for some help, I am looking to find some info on cable carrying capacity of conduit, trunking and ducting in accordance with the IEE Wiring Regulations for my NVQ but I cant seem to find the info in the BS7671 or the OSG? anyone have an idea where to look?
I've been on a few jobs where a previous installer has chased in some 25mm trunking instead of the 25mm oval conduit that I would normally use. I don't like capping as it's a bugger to send new cables through.
Just wanted peoples opinion of best practice when it comes to mechanical protection...
Hi all,
Was just looking for some best practices around using plastic mini trunking.
How do you guys join trunking on corners of walls that are not right angles so you can't use the normal pre made bends. I mean I've got a vertical wall and that has got a bend of about 30 degrees in in...
I have about 3m of dado trunking in my office (brand unknown) providing sockets and phone points which my electrician brother-in-law fitted about 15 years ago. Sadly he has passed away and I now want to shorten the trunking at one end to push a tall cupboard back against the wall. I can see that...
Hi everyone,
I am sitting my AM2 exam a week today and was wondering if the metal trunking, cable tray etc needs bonded back to the MET in the board?
Will you fail if its not bonded or will it be a minor?
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.

Just doing a re-wire on a community hall/scout hut. There's a actually a surprising amount of cable gone into a 25 x 10 m one storey building. 6 x 3kw heaters, sockets everywhere, water heaters , LED Panels, downlighters etc etc.
All cable runs are being done in the loft space and due to the...
Hi all and thanks in advance for any replies.
I was wondering if whether when having more than one phase inside a dado trunking are you required to mark up the trunking with a 400v marker/label like you would at a multi gang light switch??
Cheers
Hi
Just looking for some advice. I've had a new supply and meter fitted on the outside of a building. The supply is for a new consumer on the first floor. The meter tails for this have been run down the outer wall. What trunking would you use to protect these?
Many thanks
Hi. I've recently moved into new house. The meter box and consumer unit are installed in cupboard underneath the stairs, however they are approx. 1.5m apart and the tails are surface mounted. Should they be encased in trunking so as to protect them from damage. Thanks
So workshop with perimeter 75x 75 galv trunking, with overhead lighting trunking suspended from rod with hangers, lighting trunking is quite a bit higher than the perimeter trunking, how do you link the two?
Would you use an internal bend and flange it down onto the trunking at either end? Or...

is there any trunking...
