T & E in conduit calculation help please

[MikeWindsor]

Thanks Richard that all makes sense now, I think I am going to rip out the conduit and install swa I dont want the inspector to think I am a muppet ! Really want to do this right and be a professional ! I will just have to put it down to experience :6:

It's by far the ideal route, and you need to be under no illusion that there will huge gaps in your experience and knowledge after you have been relieved of your money,

Andy, I'm sure you meant to say ''It's by far ''NOT'' the ideal route''

When you call the scam provider I just tend to ask for Alex.....He like a good drink and is open for a dropsy of say £200 ish.....there ya go jobs a good un and your good to go. Remember though as far as I know only Alex is amiable like this.:stooge_curly:

There's already several existing threads about industry deskilling please rather use those to discuss the merits of limited scope quals and suitability for scheme registration.

Keep the thread on topic and if you can't help the OP don't post in the thread.

Hi Guys, I apologise in advance as I have done this a**se about face, I have just finished putting power to my shed ( I am currently training to become a sparks got my 17th edition at pass in Watford shortly) and hoping to use my shed as my part p inspection as hoping to join ELECSA. Anyhow I have run 6mm T and E in 20mm plastic conduit, the run is about 10metres long and it had to go up and around a gate on its path to the shed (its all solid driveway so couldn't bury anything) so there are 7 x 90 degree elbows (never again !) and I want to make sure I have the correct rating but not sure how to work it out ? The OSG page 135 gives me a Cable factor of 58 then on page 136 is a multitude of figures for Conduit Factors but I cant seem to find a formula ?
Much obliged for any enlightenment ! Many thanks Mike

PS Next time I shall learn to terminate SWA instead !

Next time learn how to form 90 degree bends in the conduit without using elbows!!

they stock bending springs at screwfix, much easier to bend it and use through boxes when adding more lengths

Sorry can't help really, only to say it's a bit of a rough old job, 6mm T&E in 20mm plastic tube with 7 90 degree bends really come on.

Use your knees instead

Exactly!! ...... just bend the conduit over your knee!!

dont forget the bending spring or you kink it though

Words fail me. Yet again, and again, and again, we've a thread where the only best advice to the OP is to go and get trained properly. Half a clue is Zero an answer.

That being said, maybe a career in comedy instead? I think most of us would have been thoroughly entertained by the sight of 6mm TE in 20mm with 9 elbows!!

I think learning how to plan a rout is the key here. That made me think of my old foreman, my ears started ringing.

But we may as well talk to ourselves, the OP seems to have abandoned ship.

Don't tell him .... let him find out for himself.

I used to use them for bending copper pipe then I got myself a proper bender & thought my birthday and Christmas had both come together.
