[QUOTE="Dairyspark, post: 402269, member: 19743"] I can answer question 3 for you lol Check your onsite guide (appendix E) The way it works is each cable size has a factor, solid and stranded cables have different factors so make sure you choose the right one. Each conduit size has a maximum capacity factor and as long as you don't exceed that capacity then that's the size you need For example; 10 X 1.0mm solid core singles 1.0mm factor is 22 and if 20mm conduit is to be used it has a maximum capacity factor of 460 So....10 X 22 = 220 and 220<460 so 20mm has lots of space lol For more than one size of cable, add the total factors together (5x1.0 + 6x2.5) Hope this makes sense lol I'm tired and it's early in the morning.
