cables installed below 2.4m???

[bigpaul]

Had a customer say to me that there are specific requirements for mounting cables below 2.4m in the 17th edition???

Anyone aware of this. I cant find anything on this. apart from the obvious mechanical protection

Well if you can't mount cables below 2.4m,there must be a lot of tall people out there

Where a cable is buried in a wall or partition at a depth of less than 50mm on either side it must be sufficiently mechanically protected against penetration OR Rcd protected AND installed either horizontally within 150mm of the top of the wall or vertically within 150mm of the angle formed where two walls meet or run horizontally or vertically to an accessory, luminaire or ccu. 552.6.6, 552.6.7. This applies to a cable in a partition constructed using metallic parts other than fixings irrespective of the cable depth.522.6.8. Surface run cables do not require RCD protection.
