Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

[KennyKen]

DB's in Aussieland are a dream. Cable ducts throughout the boards to prevent individual conductor grouping and looks asthetically pleasing!

It would be interesting to see a few pics!

Seems like everyone only concerned about overheating factor alone.
As close as you can get in new Regs book and what I think OP meant is a new Regulation (521.200) giving requirements for the methods of support of wiring systems in escape routes.
Apparently to protect fireman. Your cable ties will not comply.

In the properties I own the electrician I use to rewire always allows free space around the conductors as far as is practicable but provides one small cable tie around each of the 3 pairs of conductors of the final ring circuit so that the wiring for each ring circuit is clearly identifiable. This helps him when he does regular inspection and testing for me and any possible erroneous mix up of them. He uses a different coloured cable tie for each frc.

Very strange thing to do, as in domestic properties especially you don't see the length of cable, unless in your houses they are clipped direct on the walls...

It was obvious what you meant!

Leaving aside stainless steel cable ties for a second, how would cable ties inside a distribution board lead to collapse and entanglement? Surely the distribution board will contain the wiring system!

sorry, didn't realized that we talking within cu....

Owning the new book wouldnt have helped with the question then?
