I am designing a hotel, rooms along corridors will be fed from steel trunking connected to PVC conduit into consumer units in each room. The corridor ceilings will be closed denying access to the trunking after installation.
I would like to use the trunking as the CPC but how do I connect the cables in the trunking so they conform to regultions? (No hidden joints or terminations).
When is a joint not a joint, when it is crimped soldered, brazered or welded.
Copper does not weld to steel so that leaves crimping.
Is a pop rivet a form of crimp? Can I rivet an eye crimp to the trunking?
Any better ideas on how to comply?
Steel trunking when installed correctly is an excellent CPC, seems a shame and waste of oney not to use it.
