obviously wago'd into the other cpc where ther are 2 cables?????Over sleeve it, bend back and tape to the sheath.
This way the CPC is there should anyone need in the future.
Some things can be overthought if allowed to.

Doesn't look like there is enough room in those fittings for loop in/out and switch so assuming that is done in a JB.Click Flow connectors.
And how would it be connected to the Earthing arrangement if there is more than one luminaire?
Is that what the bare one in the middle is for. Thought that was just an aid for stripping the sheath ;-)obviously wago'd into the other cpc where ther are 2 cables?????
If we have the same situation in mind then yes.Are you being serious, leave it unenclosed and taped to the sheath. There is a difference between over thought and no thought.
Not wanting to start WW3 but, what requirement is there to enclose a CPC?Are you being serious, leave it unenclosed and taped to the sheath. There is a difference between over thought and no thought.
From memory as not the book to hand but anything under 4mm requires mechanical protection.Not wanting to start WW3 but, what requirement is there to enclose a CPC?
526.5-8 specifically refers to live conductors.
Am I missing something?
Form memory also is that not just for main earthing conductor or is there reference somewhere for cpc' also.From memory as not the book to hand but anything under 4mm requires mechanical protection.
I am not sure and no where near my books at the minute, I am sure someone will be aong soon to confirm though.Form memory also is that not just for main earthing conductor or is there reference somewhere for cpc' also.
What do you suppose cpc stands for.Interesting stuff, especially since i'm doing the 18th tomorrow.
The 4mm, if mechanically unprotected, rule is for "Protective conductors" the definition of protective conductors on P33 (BYB) does not mention CPCs but rather:-
"A conductor used for some measures of protection against electric shock and intended for connecting together any of the following:-
(i) Exposed conductive parts.
(ii)Extraneous conductive parts.
(iii)the main earthing terminal.
(iv)Earth electrode(S).
(v) The earthed point of the source, or an artificial neutral."
None of the above mentions or hints at CPCs.......
.....Except metal (none class II) accessories, which then makes the CPC a "protective conductor".
I think...
It's protecting the cable.I'd still contend, that in the case of a CPC feeding a single luminaire, that it is not a "protective conductor" as the CPC is not linking Exposed Conductive Parts, if it were the CPC would be connected to the accessory, and therefore there is no requirement to enclose.
There are protective conductors and Protective Conductors.What do you suppose cpc stands for.
Not many cables suffer the effects of electric shock.It's protecting the cable.
My initial comment said to over sheath, so we've got that one covered.As the cpc has been removed from the cable sheath which affords it protection then 521.10.1 would apply.
The conductor is still not enclosed for protection.My initial comment said to over sheath, so we've got that one covered.
This is not an exercise in what I consider but what the book stipulates.What do you consider the purpose of a cpc.
