Telecoms cable wiring starts with Blue, then Orange, Green, and Brown. First pair to be used should be Blue/Blue-White. In the char carger application I don’t suppose it matters that much. I use some WD40 at times to help get cables through tight ducting/trunking.

WD40 can affect the insulation and stinks, far better to use proper conduit lube

Lee, get yourself some gun cleaner. It’s an essential to buy alongside your expanding foam. It keeps the gun clean, keeps the end of the foam canister clear (if you remove it) and it’ll remove any expanding foam that hasn’t already set with just a quick spray.

Strip the cable back to tape rope to inner cores they fly through ducts etc.Use cable lube if things get tight worked for me for 46 years.

@darrenjlobb Жыл бұрын

Top tip i find (not a spark but pull alot of network cable etc) just put some fairly up liquid down the end of the duct, pour fair bit in, and if needed put some on cable if it dosnt coat as its goes through, you will not believe what a difference this will make to pulling any cable through a duct, even if its not that tight a fit, the friction from the duct and cable over a distance is huge, a bit of fairy and it just decudes this by like 75%, deal breaker i find!

No critic, just a question: Why aren’t there more multi-row CUs in the UK? E.g. German electricians put at least 2-row panels in each chamber of some business hotels or apartments, often combined with a mounting place for the meter. I think this is a UK standard of some sort, but it always looks so fiddly to get all the cables into these tiny CUs … even if Artisans always do a great job of making it look pretty 🤩

@dangallagher2306 Жыл бұрын

You'll basically never find multi row CUs in UK houses but anywhere else you'll find something vertically stacked In 2 rows so you have a bit more space

That didn't look like SWA - does PVC conduit under a paved path count as fine for protection when burying cables?

@TheMattSturgeon Жыл бұрын

Strictly speaking, probably not. It'd have to be earthed metal to provide additional protection. Plastic pipe isn't going to do much to ensure the cable short-circuits safely (and trips an MCB) if cut through. Granted, it's a fairly short run and it's unlikely that anyone will be digging there (since there's paving above) and the cable can be seen going in & out of the duct. But AFAIK underground cabling >50v should always use earthed SWA or be within earthed metallic conduit, etc.

@AllStarNES Жыл бұрын

I'd go with SWA 100%

@jordannoble4957 Жыл бұрын

That’s what I thought - buried cable requires protection from an earthed metallic sheath or and earthed metallic conduit

@trojanhawrs4613 Жыл бұрын

Yes, I would argue the paving satisfies mechanical protection required. The fact that you can see both ends of the cable also means it doesnt take a huge leap of imagination to guess where its run should the slabs come up.

The bricks they use on 'new builds' are just terrible quality, you just have to breathe near them and they blow out. Even on my mother's 70s Barratts, the bricks are crap, we were drilling a 12mm hole from the outside for the CCTV, and the whole face of the brick fell off! In fact, even just from the weather there are a few that have blown.
