Hi All..
Situation: Full rewire of a house, The distribution board is located in the garrage on the adjacent wall back to back with the house.. The roof level of the garage is below the ceiling of the joists so can't break threw at high level
It's my intention to run the cables down/up the internal wall and punch threw into the back of the garage D.B..
Question: The cables are not in ' permitted cable routes' as per the regs fig 3 (150mm ruling) .. I was going to sink the cables and plate over with one 3/4mm Steel and earth it as a means of mechanical protection..
all circuit RCD protected..
Doing the above I must meet the requirement below:
522.6.6 A cable concealed in a wall or partition at a depth of less than 50 mm from a surface of the wall or partition shall: (i) incorporate an earthed metallic covering which complies with the requirements of these
be mechanically protected against damage sufficient to prevent penetration of the cable by nails, screws and the like,
Any thoughts ??
