[pcam1984]

Looking for some advice guys. Is there anything in the regs that says anything about running a 110v em lighting supply in the same trunkng as 230v supplies. Em ltg wired in fp200. Thanks on advance.

Though i agree with Tel here, make sure nothing is specified in the electrical specifications on this area, if this is a specified project your working on!! The Clerk of Works may just be right... lol!!

The COW is most definitely not always right.
I remember one job where I was putting sockets in walls. PVC conduit in breeze block chases. He claimed he knew the regs better than our firm and had us change the height of the sockets, probably about 40 points ...THREE TIMES !!! Eventually reinstated to the height they were originally at.

On the same job he also pushed over a mornings worth of laid blockwork and instructed it to be relaid because he reckoned it was 80mm too far in one direction.
Eventually the site manager physically threw him off site and wouldn't let him on every time he turned up.
