LSF, is there a regulatory requirement?

[GBDamo]

I've been installing this stuff for years in commercial settings, it seems a no brainer.

For the first time, today, a client questioned its requirement and, to be honest I cant find anything in black and white to back up my assertion.

I know the advantages, and tried explaining these but he's adamant if its not legally required, he don't want it.

In this case the peace of mind would amount to ~£150 in a 1/2million pound project.

So, have I been talking gonads or is there something more concrete?

Hadn't watched the video and, no, that's not at all what I had in mind. It's brutal - I've never seen anything like it!

These people are mad - might as well use a grinder.

I use a knife between cpc and A.N Other core to start off… far too easy to misalign and remove some of the inner insulation if going all the way.

Give myself a few inches to hold onto, and pull the L and N apart.



Did it once as a naive apprentice in a live 3ph board. Cpc coiled up and slipped between the gap beside the MCB’s that were fitted…..

No more cpc of any considerable length!
