Hi all.
I am installing some metal trunking vertically in a meter cupboard to contain all the meter tails for an apartment block. I have 5 sets of tails entering one “row” of meters, and about 300mm further down the trunking I have another 4 sets of tails entering the other row of meters. Due to the size of the tails (25mm) I am probably going to need 2x 2” bushes next to one another on both rows. So as long as the same line & neutral to each meter are in the same hole of the trunking, eddy currents cannot flow, is this correct?
