[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 25404, member: 250"] Just to add the the points so far, One of the functions of the CPC is to connect all exposed conductive parts, e.g. those metal light fittings, the case of the washing machine or microwave or fridge and those metal-clad sockets & switches in the garage etc.. If all the exposed conductive parts, (by their description are not insulated), there is little point in insulating the conductor that is joining them all together with the exposed metal MET, ROD or sheathing of the incoming supply. It just needs identification as to its purpose at each termination, so a small length of sleeve does the job quite nicely. None T&E When wiring is done in singles, (not T&E), the CPC still requires a level of mechanical protection and correct colour identification and so to meet both requirements, comes manufactured with the appropriate coloured insulation. ;) [/QUOTE]
