boogaloo,

I bet you notice the difference when your back in the UK, when it comes to testing and inspection an installation??
By the way, are the Yanks still using there multi branch circuits utilising a common neutral conductor??

more info on wheatland conduit site, the thick wall is about the same as our steam pipe( we had to use hydrolic benders & screwing machines as we were using 2in & 4in tube )

Yes, they use a common neutral for 3 lighting circuits and the socket circuits are always radial circuits using the same neutral for 3 circuits. As long as the 3 circuits are different phases it is one neutral for the bunch.

Usually, and fugly too. I hope the PC police aren't watching. If so, then I'm a fat ugly bugger too. I am anyway.

Hmmmmm..... I would have thought that they would have ditched that archaic wiring system by now. I think they used a triple pole breakers for these circuits too as i remember.

Had a project where they wanted to use that multi branch system, ....but i insisted that seperate neutrals were to be pulled in for each circuit. I could see some serious problems arising if ever one of those neutrals ever got broken!!!!
