The regulations require that when passing through a ferrous metal all conductors of a circuit, including protective conductors are only collectively surrounded by ferrous metal not individually.
So by installing the tails in seperate holes you have deviated from the regulations. If you've issued a certificate without this devotion properly recorded then you have signed off a non-compliant installation
Posts #2, #3 and #6 have already stated this. Daz
No, those posts say things like 'should' and 'by rights' which implies that the requirement is not absoloute, which it is.
And the word 'require' is more absolute is it Dave?
I think that you have a low opinion of people on this forum if you really think that they would take from these posts anything other than what was meant.
dave is right, though. while the routing of the cables through separate holes will give rise to problems is about as likely as me giving up ale. however, it's against regs. and that puts farm's arse in a sling if anything untoward were to occur.
