sizing containment for T&E

[atm84]

Does anyone have experience sizing cable tray/ basket and trunking which is used for twin and earth cabling?

The on site guide only provides guidance and factors where single core PVC cables are used.

I am looking for help where twin and earth is used.

sizing containment for T&E

Twin and earth is cheaper than yy and flex. Quicker to install than singles.

What sort of trunking, plastic, metal can't understand why you would want yo run T&E in trunking unless it was for switch drops etc

cut a 10cm piece of containment, fill up with pieces of t+e and see how many will fit?

I was mainly thinking of basket but wondered how trunking would be sized with T&E. I have come across it on some supermarket installs.

only cowboys or house bashers put twin in trunking.

I can understand the use of basket for t&e but certainly not trunking. No point in it whatsoever.
