In the cavity probablyDohh! yeh but where did they route the existing wiring?
Ok. For THIS application, IF it is a cavity wall, it will be an internal one -between the garage and the hall - so there's no probs with bridging cavity/transference of damp etc.Cables in cavities, whatever next. Let the cavity debate begin
Already have a prescribed zone formed by the CU.
Dohh! yeh but where did they route the existing wiring?
If its a rewire, still might think of relocating CU somewhere more accessible, as long as customer willing to pay for new supply distribution circuit IMOOn the internally wall clipped direct and capped back entry to the CU.. Approx 30 years ago
Am I being dumb, why won't the plate need earthing?Nothing wrong with covering the cables with 3/4mm steel plate.
There is no requirement for the steel plate to be earthed.
read 522.6.101. basically, it' s not an exposed conductive part of the installation.Am I being dumb, why won't the plate need earthing?
Maybe suggest a nice dado rail of this stuff?Reg 522.6.204 (iv) mechanical protection.
PS, but the Sunday afternoon DIY'er, won't let a 3mm steel plate stop them from putting up a shelf!
Would also mean that the cables would require RCD protection.
Me.
I would not install an up front 30mA RCD unless I had no other option.
Eddie wearing.brick out behind CU. brick out under upstairs floor. "up and under".
