If clearance of 50mm from the surface cannot be achieved capping should be used along with being rcd protected

Cappings not mechanical protection

As was said in post #4 capping is only to protect the cable from the plasters trowel.

You don't need either if cable is rcd protected and in a safe zone 552.6.6

Wow that took you only 22mins to find the page and read it well done electric will

What you on about ? I said in a earlier post it wasn't seen as mechanical protection, after your post about needing it and a rcd, if cable was less than 50 mm

And if you look, I quoted the same reg number as you, trusting that you'd listed the correct one as I've got better things to do than go and get my book.

Ok will , that wasn't what u answered u just said none were required if in safe zone etc etc , not that it wasn't mechanical protection , we had already "worked" that one out
Pretty slow for a arms member you guys usually have it memorized back to front like the karran

 

[SLSpark]

Your input has been 0% helpfull will once again from arms member ,

Its not needed in a safe zone, neither is it classed as mechanical protection nor is it earthed.
you said you needed it along with a rcd if less than 50mm, I was clearly pointing out it wouldn't make any difference if you capped the cable or not.
