Hello All
A quick query regarding the regs re: cable segregation.
We are working on a site where there are 240v cables and CAT5 cables running in the same trunking. The electrician has said that because the CAT5 cables are being used to connect to a dimmable ballast that's rated at 240V it's OK to put them in the same trunking.
I thought that all cables running together needed to be rated at 500V if any of them were 240V? obviously CAT5 isn't rated at 500V.
They are certifying to 17th edition and apparently don't want any amendments. Is this OK?
