Socket circuit in Farm shed

[neil_ev]

hi there, i'm going to install a new socket circut in a farm shed and was wondering if i could use twin and earth clipped to the joists or if i would have to use conduit. the shed does not have animals in it, but does have farm machinery.

thanks

Think you will find it does animals as it is a farm so it will have an unwanted rodent population

but does this mean i have to put all the cabling in conduit. i dont really care if i cause damage to rodents!!

But you must think of them nawring through the cables thus making it a danger to Humans.

Read sections 522.10 and 705.522.10

Conduit all the way or SWA

rodent can climb joists and love T&e sheath so PVC conduit all the way with rcd protection of course. In the future if animals ar in it then there in an amonia risk due to there urine which can carrode galv or steel.

Hi

i would use swa. You would be suprised where rodents can get, we try to avoid t&e in an agriculture installation.
