Could someone help me understand what is cable sleeving? Can we sleeve a 3 phase cable to single phase cable? Is this as per any regs? BS 7671? Could you send me some pictures of the same if you have..

Is it just done at the terminals?Sleeving is something you push over wires to identify their colour and/or to insulate the wire.
Sleeving cables for identification does not necessarily provide any insulation propertees.Sleeving is something you push over wires to identify their colour and/or to insulate the wire.

My comment on the insulating properties on sleeving was to open the discussion further.
Would you say that g/y sleeving is not also used to insulate the bare cpc?
If not, would you sleeve at the terminal and leave the rest uncovered? If you do sleeve all of the cpc then why?
,I believe Charlie, that providing supplementary insulation. the insulation must be equal to or better than the original insulation provided, Identification sleeving does not provide that amount of insulating properties, when applying sleeving to the cpc, the cpc is not a live conductor.I was waiting for a nibble

So gy sleeving inside enclosures, DBs, etc for id purposes only?
Sleeving for cable for Ident is Manufactured to BS EN50525 see aslo Reg 514.4.2543.3.201 requires bare protective conductors up to and including 6mm which are incorporated within a sheathed cable to be protected by insulating sleeving in accordance with BS EN 60684 where the sheath is removed at joints am determinations.
The sheath hasn't been removed thought mate is was never there in the first place.543.3.201 requires bare protective conductors up to and including 6mm which are incorporated within a sheathed cable to be protected by insulating sleeving in accordance with BS EN 60684 where the sheath is removed at joints am determinations.
