Hi All,
We are having part of our kitchen partitioned off with a stud wall and I took the opportunity to move our cooker cable(10mm2 on 45amp breaker) for what will be our new layout in the kitchen. The part of the cable in the partition has a vertical run of about 1.7m which is clipped to the centres of the frame and then about a 50cm horizontal run which passes through the centres and then into a block wall. The issue arises as our builder put rockwool or similar in the framework which I wasn't expecting, would this make the whole installation of cable classed as method 103 or just the horizontal part classed as 103 and the vertical classed as method 102?
Would it be easiest to just stick all of the cabling in a conduit to satisfy method A?
The partition framework is 75mm should that make any difference.
Thanks for your help.
