Assuming i have read what you have written properly, you have to separate 12v low voltage from 230v mains voltage because of interference caused from the 230v to the 12v cable? Hope this helps, its a regulation.

Daiglo,

If you are only talking about a couple of foot of cable its not going to make a bit of difference

AAAAhhhh, well there you go, neva knew that but do now.

To londonman, you do have to segregate LV from 230v, i dont know the reg number or even what section, haha, ive not looked, but like lec said that applies to cables run in parallel with each other i.e in trunking runs, the trunk has to be segregated.

Lec, does that apply to sky cables too? If you crossed a 230v supply cable (armour) across them?

Cheers

Cool,

The plummer put his water feed up a wall and thru the "bracket" of a sky dish, i was gonna run it along with the water feed to supply a container for work, the plummer had the idea of running the water feed along the roofs of the long line of terraced bungalows, so i was gonna cable tie all the way along with his water pipe, but instead we used catinary to go from the outside of the boiler room which was where the cu was, all the way to a scaffold, of which was actually rigged for me to put the supply in which i was unaware of at the time (lack of communication), then from the scaffold to the containers, it was about a 40-50 meter run, perfect weather for it today tho!!

Also what i wanted to know, it in regards to testing which i dont normally have a problem with, when i finished the job, i took a Ze at the containers cu and i did an IR test as well as R1+R2 which was good, I then did a Ze at the boiler house CU and tested the RCBO and then i tested the cu which was the communal one which supplied various circuits as well as the boiler room and done a Ze and kA there, now, I only have DIEC's, i know you gotta test each distribution circuit as well as the newly installed final circuit, but where do i put all the Ze figures when all ive got is one place for Ze single phase and one place for Ze three phase. Ive not been given any continuation sheets and i know these Ze results need to be recorded, so through no options i put down the readings of the main cu in the mains room, and i know thats not correct!

OOOooohh touchy lec,

I can only use what im supplied with, if thats work gives me what else am i supposed to do when they say test it? I can say no but they will just get somebody else to do it! i didnt think of it as being commercial to be honest considering the supply came from a flat, and ok on the continuation sheets and cheers for letting me know its Zs and not Ze, i do know the difference tho, but didnt know about Zdb

thanx
