As i am a man of my word i am back with some more questions for you, again all pretty basic but i want to cover all the bases.
I am curious about the different fixing methods when running cables in masonary walls? :| .
Would i be right that it is best to only run cables in channel if the cable is clipped direct and not chased in?
Would i be right to think that it is best to run cables in oval conduit when the cables are chased into the wall?
To my understanding metal channel is not deemed as mechanical protection and so must only be run in safe zones. Is that right?
To my understanding oval conduit is deemed as mechanical protection. Is that right? Oviously if it is then you can run oval conduit chased into the wall outside safe zones, but the cables are hardly protected (oh well if it complys who am i to dissagree;\)
What the best way to actually fix oval conduit into your chases?
If cable is run in oval conduit then is it de-rated? And so would a ring run in 2.5mm ring now be run in 4mm?
Spurring off a domestic 4mm ring main with 2.5mm complys with the regs yes? but is it a good idea? or should the spur be run in the same size conductor?
Are back to back sockets allowed? (you know when you have a socket on each side of a masonary wall, in different rooms)
Have i covered everything? Is there any additional info you think is worth metioning that i havent asked about? Anyone else got any questions?
Well i reckon that enough for now but i will think up some more and get back to you (hopefully next time with some decent/harder questions).
Goodnight all, peace out:x.
