PVC insulated cables are run conduit containing two bends between

. A
16mm conduit containing one bend only has factor 143 which less than 203, the sum of
the cable factors and, therefore, 20mm conduit the minimum size contain these cables. A

of the cable factors and, therefore, 25mm conduit the minimum size contain these cables.5 times
