Cable within domestic garage

[clark]

Can any one help me, does the cable fitted above the surface of a domestic garage wall need to be protected by conduit or will being clipped to the walls suffice? Cable will be RCD protected. Assessment evidence so it has to be correct. Thank you.

ideally, cable below 2metres height or if prone to mechanical damage , should be mechanically protected ( plastic conduit or mini trunking will suffice)

hi,
Yes, put this in conduit and it wont cost a lot to buy trunking for it. So, thats safe as well. I always use trunking because you never know whats gonna happen in garage in coming years.

I would use trunking for the cable run and 20mm conduit for the drops, looks a lot better then surface and once the trunking is fixed a lot quicker to install and far neater. should impress the man with the clipboard!!

it needs mechnical protection because of its environment, so i would select pvc 20mm conduit for this.
