Sleeving 3 phase cable to single phase cable

[Charlie_]

Is this the sort of debate you envisaged Charlie between basically 3 knowledgeable Electricians???????

Haha not sure really..
I just thought that we also used certain types of sleeving to also provide insulation.
I opened up a panel a while back and all the CPCs were bare.. Some were not terminated so I also got a few tingles from them.. The sleeving would also protect the bare wires from coming into contact with busbars?
Good that I managed to get a debate out of such a very basic question from the op though

Please use sleeve and not sticky tape!


Examples of sleeving are in the On Site guide to BS7671. Surely you have a copy?

yes i do have a copy. Will check. Many Thnaks.

When the cpc sleeving first appeared, it was practice or common practice that IF THE ACCESSORY wasn't prone to regular removal, then sleeving was not required, or that's how it was interoperated by the outfit I worked for, mind you that was before many of the younger generation, had any inkling of joining the electrical industry. So many CUs DBs didn't use cpc sleeving.

The sheath hasn't been removed thought mate is was never there in the first place.

Yes it has, the cpc is inside the cable sheath
