as some cables, and consequently PVC cables may buried under plas-
ter. Cables should run horizontally vertically, not diagonally,
down wall. Mechanical damage to
the cable caused impact, abrasion, penetration, compression ten-
sion must minimized during installation (Regulation 522. However, Regulation 522. 14.4 and Table the Site Guide). also
assuming that the surrounding temperature throughout the length the

PVC insulated and sheathed cable installations
PVC insulated and sheathed wiring systems are used extensively for light-
ing and socket installations domestic dwellings.1).21 shows typical PVC installation.
Where PVC insulated and sheathed cables are concealed walls, floors or
partitions, they must provided with box incorporating earth termi-
nal each outlet position.
The necessary skills can acquired electrical trainee who has the
correct attitude and dedication his craft.22.
Wiring systems and enclosures
The final choice wiring system must rest with those designing the
installation and those ordering the work, but whatever system employed,
good workmanship competent persons and the use proper materials
is essential for compliance with the Regulations (IEE Regulation 134. identify

cables are generally fixed using plastic clips incorporating masonry nail,
which means the cables can fixed wood, plaster brick with almost
