Hi all,
It sounds like a simple thing, but I'm confused about what regulations govern this.
I notice my house tends to have metal capping over the wires. Is this an older regulation, from before the RCD requirement came into force, or is it still relevant today? As far as I can see there's no reason for it any more as you may as well use steel trunking or nothing. Can someone please confirm?
Secondly, I read somewhere that cabling has to be protected from trowel damage from the plasterer. Can someone point me to the regulation that talks about this, and/or tell me what it means for me if I'm running a cable up an unplastered (brick) wall, that will be plastered later?
Thanks!
