[QUOTE="Nicky Tesla, post: 23682, member: 445"] Conduit is a word that can describe many things, but say conduit to an electrician and he will picture the round metal or plastic pipework which is sold as such. But actually. even the pvc sheath on t&e cable is a type of conduit, but that like the capping is also susceptible to penetration. There is a new cable which has an aluminum covering under the pvc sheath a bit like firetuf and data cable, the idea being that it is earthed and any nails penetrating the cable touches a live conductor and will be shorted by the earthed cover. I dont think it will work unless the cable is on an rcd cct cos the high amperage required for an mcb to trip might blow away the aluminium shield, if it is not thick enough. [/QUOTE]
