5x 1.5mm - 25mm conduit

[LewisM]

Hi can you get 5 *1.5mm lsf twin and earth cables through a straight piece of 25mm with a bush and coupler?

Yes you can

It wants me to type more letters so yet again

Yes you can

Yes you can

Thanks wasn't sure if the reduction in CSA because of the bush would cause an issue

I find myself asking why you're running T&E in conduit when that conductors aren't flexible?

For aesthetics only, cables are running above a plasterboard ceiling then dropping down to accessories in metal conduit, seems to be the fashion now

You would have to look up the factors table for the conduit. Sounds like too many to me. Usually the factor tables are for singles on the cable factor parts.

I know you design as per regs but will have 150w of lighting load going through it so don't think any heat will be generated and even so it will be negligible.

If that is the case why not put an MF connection so that you have flexible conductors for the conduit? I get that OSG allows for flexible or solid conductors but it wouldn't sit right with me, probably just me though.

Why does it not sit right with you? I'd be very interested to know why solid conductors are not suitable for conduit, as it would render every single home in northern ireland unsuitable
