When wiring a circuit using singles in steel trunking (eg. 200x200) I have always used insulation to tape up the ends of the cables together and pulled the cables off the drum (the length may vary depending on the length of the run). I would then tape the end of the cables around a fixed object and proceed to put a ring of tape around the cables (about 1m between) to told them neatly together. When the installation is going down conduit bushed through the trunking, the tape has to be removed from the cables that will be in the conduit.
The majority of sparks that I have came across all do the same. Apart from one, who has done a lot of work in England. My questions are these:
The majority of sparks that I have came across all do the same. Apart from one, who has done a lot of work in England. My questions are these:
- Does other sparks around the UK do this, or is it just in NI?
- What are the pros and cons of taping the circuit up?
- Which method do you use when wiring circuits in trunking?
