PJF Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 We have alwas used .75 regardless of the size of the run. Its easier to do that than having a couple of different size cables on stock, the .75 gets used a lot by us on access as well. I all for the simlpe life as a present I carry in my car 100m 8core 100m 6c screened 100m belden 100m rg59 100m .75 2c Its only a matter of time before my Vauxhall gets upgraded to a Scania. PS. we once were told to run .75 2c to our expanders from the psu, When the tamper was mentioned there was a lot of blank looks from the chiefs who should have known better. Top tip: if you ever catch fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because i bet thats what REALLY throws you into a panic and dont forget the one thing you cant recycle is wasted time.
C.S TEK.

Guest Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 using flex for fixed wiring is a contravention of BS7671. 58998[/snapback] On which point? Previously having differing colour codes for fixed wiring?
Guest Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 On which point? 59093[/snapback] On the previous and current point of flexible cables are for final connections between fixed wiring and electrical equipment. Flexible cables are not for use as fixed wiring, regardless of the colour of the cores. The colour of the cores can be rectified by using suitable identification such as coloured sleeving at the points of termination.

I dont know where the length of of a final connection is mentioned, surely it only refers to use of flex as a means of supplying mains 240v not 12v dc?

Using flex for supplying the cameras with 12\24V is fine. As for the length of a final connection, not sure if it is mentioned off hand, but it is most definitely not 30+ metres running across roofspaces, up walls and under floors.
Guest Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Flexible cables are not for use as fixed wiring,59143[/snapback] ok then, which bs7671 regulation states i can't?
Guest Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 ok then, which bs7671 regulation states i can't? 59678[/snapback] I knew someone was going to ask that. I'm sure you're just being argumentative but I'll have a look, not got a copy of the regs to hand.
robert99d Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Sorry lurch But the most relevant reg I can find is- 521-01-04 a flexible cable or flexible cord shall be used for fixed wiring only where the relevant provisions of the regulations are met So you can use flexible cable for fixed wiring
