Trunking supplied lengths and various cross-sections measured
in millimetres from 300 150.

A trunking enclosure provided
for the protection cables which
is normally square rectangular in
cross-section, having one removable
side. Trunking may thought more accessible conduit system and
for industrial and commercial installations replacing the larger con-
duit sizes. Trunking may thought a
more accessible conduit system. When alteration extension
is required easy drill hole the side the trunking and run con-
duit the new point.

junction with conduit; the trunking forms the background framework
for the installation, with conduits running from the trunking the point
controlling the current-using apparatus. This may necessary more convenient bend
or set non-standard, but does take more time fabricate bends than
merely bolt standard accessories. The new wiring can then drawn through the new
conduit and the existing trunking the supply point.
