    110v vs 240v on building sites.

    o, ok that makes sense. So to check im clear then, the max shock i can get is 55volts then? So if i was to cut through teh cable i would only get 55volts? If i was to cut through a 240v cable i would get a 240v shock?

    110v vs 240v on building sites.

    minimum pipe depth?

    He everyone. Whats the minimum pipe depth under a floorboard? If i have a RSJ in the way can you notch the floorboards out and lay the floorboards on to the pipe? Or should you drill holes in the rsj or maybe take a different direction? Whats the regs on this? Thanks in advance.
