I think you mean insulated and sheathed
412.2.4.1 states that along with basic protection, wiring systems must have adequate mechanical protection. This can be in the form of the sheath. Hope this makes sense.
Plaster.

Haha, as you wish...
well sod it then...lets get the singles out and just clip em direct....swipe a bit of thistle over em....there!..jobs a gud un....It's as protective as a cable sheath.:devilish:
well the thing is n all Edd....just clipping flat twin direct in a workshop is/was one of the scenarios given for the 2391...a double garage being used as a lawnmower repair shop i think......Bit confused here,is it that people think that the capping is mechanical protection? It is in a sence but only for the plasterer who will dig into the cables.
But,, I think the mechanical protection reg is there for the people who think clipping Twin and Earths around a workshop is fine.
So as above, the plaster would indeed be mechanical protection. But as long as its us who carfully fill the chase for the plasterer then to skim over.
Note this is one example of a book load, I know we all read things diffrent.

they were running convection heaters of it...therer was no additional protection by means of RCD....just a few of the baddies as far as i can remember....
well a schedule of inspections has a box for `selection of equipment and protective measures suitable to external influences`....now obviously this doesn`t mean outdoors.....although that is also sometimes the case.....The T&E sheath is simple "mechanical protection", which is why it is ok to surface mount T&E. If you are talking about specific mechanical protection, such as steel conduit, or "suitable for environment", then that is a whole different ball-game.
I think you are right Edd, some people do think that capping serves as mechanical protection....
I honestly don't think there is much to misinterpret here if you read the BGB.
well...the way i see it is the torys are just picking up labour`s mess....but that is something for a different forum to this......Now you are just being cheeky... :6:

Not......Tory politicians?
or bury it at a depth of more than 50mm...or surface clip it...note it and make sure the point it feeds is also labeled/noted....a freezer socket perhaps?...Obviously all Rcd protected, or I get the steel conduit out....
............. if in months down the line they wish to alter or make additions. Just pull it up or down, simples
BS7671 does not recognise capping as mechanical protection for cables.
That is all , carry on lol.
Well using oval conduit is only of benefit if circuits need to be rewired using the same accessory positions
if your moving or adding points its of no use whatsoever.
well if you have to dog out a damaged cable out of plaster..then its the owner/occupiers hard lines innit...after all its usually them that nailed it anyway.....got all `inspired` by the orange shed adds....Personally, I think this is a huge benefit. One of my pet hates is finding a cable which needs replacing that has been plastered over.
