Steel Conduit

[Pete999]

I was wondering last night, or should I say wandering, when I were a Lad working with steel and Galv conduit, I distinctly recall the Electricians I was working with always gad me filing the ends of couplers, locknuts etc and also removing the pain from entries into steel enclosures, I know in those days we normally used the conduit as the cpc.

Is this practice still in use, or do you just bung in an earth conductor to be sure of a decent continuity reading.

Look people. I'll I have brought to work for my lunch is some fruit (fat man wanting to lose some weight) and this is not helping. My will power to nice foods, like in the picture above, is non-existent. I am a very miserable fat man......

This thread is long since off topic, but I just wanted to add to the OP that I've been reading through GN8 (which the OP very kindly gave to me a few months ago!) and I remember reading that even if you add a separate CPC with the other cables, you still need to ensure that the conduit run has continuity from start to finish since it is an exposed conductive part, and in the words of GN8, if you've got to ensure continuity of the conduit anyway, what's the point of wasting cable on an extra CPC.

Hightower I think it's a bit disrespectful to keep calling Pete an op ( Old age pensioner ) I know he's retired but I'm sure he's still got a few miles on the clock :mamazed:

I have nothing but respect for Pete. From what I gather he starts on the wine most days at 2pm. I'm 31 and I wouldn't even have the energy for that. Hats off to you Pete!

I would hope @Pete999 knows I'm only teasing. I have nothing but respect for that Man.
