the complete answer to the


latest regulations
Legrand has invested heavily in Salamandre distribution
trunking to ensure that it provides everything you would expect
from the market leader. The latest innovations have been
made to keep you up to speed with the amendments to the
Wiring Regulations...

Changes to the Wiring Regulations


BS 7671 : 2008 - Amendment No. 1: 2011 came into force on January 1st 2012.
This amendment to the 17th Edition of the Wiring Regulations includes speciic
instructions relating to the requirement for IP conformity of all trunking
systems using non-sheathed cables.
Section 521.10.1 of the regulations now includes the following paragraph:
‘‘Non-sheathed cables are permitted if the cable trunking system provides
at least the degree of protection IPXXD or IP4X, and if the cover can only be
removed by means of a tool or deliberate action.’’*

The index of protection


The index of protection is deined in BS EN 60529 - Degree of protection of
IP4X enclosures of electrical equipment.
1mm dia probe
As quoted in Section 521.10.1, the Regulations allow two levels for the degree
of protection:
IP4X - Protected against solid bodies greater than 1mm in diameter. The test
uses a 1mm diameter, 100mm long test probe / wire. The probe is applied with
a force of 1N+- 10% and is not allowed to enter the enclosure being tested.
IPXXD - Solid bodies no greater than 1mm in diameter may enter the top of
IPXXD
the enclosure but will remain clear of hazardous parts. The test uses a 1mm
1mm dia probe
diameter, 100mm long test probe / wire. The top of the enclosure may allow
entry of the 100mm long test wire, however the wire is not allowed to touch
any hazardous parts within the enclosure.
The Salamandre range of distribution trunking has evolved to include
a simple solution to IP4X conformity.

A simple, convenient solution
To achieve IP4X conformity using Salamandre requires the addition of a simple
‘cover strap’ which is connected to each coupler over the joint between two
lids.
The range of IP4X ittings has all the beneits of Salamandre (see p. 4) and
integrates fully with existing lengths and accessories to provide a total solution
when using non-sheathed cable.

For IP4X protection, simply clip a ‘cover strap‘ to


each coupler over the joint between two lids
IP4X fittings should be specified to achieve the
correct level of conformity

Salamandre ... ®

a winner in the fast lane


The Silverstone Wing, Silverstone,
Northamptonshire
The project
The Silverstone Wing is the name of the new pit and paddock complex at the
home of British motor racing, Silverstone.
The multi-million pound development provides world class facilities that
include new garages, a race control building, conference and exhibition space,
a new podium, media centre, hospitality and VIP spectator zones.

The solution
NG Bailey became the irst company in the UK to specify and install our
Salamandre distribution trunking throughout the Silverstone Wing.
The product, which is 50 per cent quicker to install than its predecessor when
itting length to length or length to itting, was speciied following an initial
meeting with NG Bailey’s project manager, Kevin Dunn.
Kevin, who was impressed by the potential cost savings the system offered due
to the reduction in the amount of time needed to install it, said: “Time on site
is always precious and any new product that delivers time savings is always
welcome, but a product that reduces installation time by 50 per cent really is
something for Legrand to shout about.“
NG Bailey’s site supervisor, Steve Povey helped with the initial installation of
the trunking, working alongside an experienced electrician and an apprentice –
both of whom gave it a glowing report.
“The Salamandre trunking really impressed me,” said Steve. “I liked the clip on
lids and hexagonal head ixing screws, especially as they allowed me to use a
nut driver to secure them rather than standard cross head driver.”
The new Silverstone Wing was completed in time to play host to the
2011 British Grand Prix.

Salamandre® distribution trunking
trunking size, capacity and weights

n Selecting the size of trunking required


The cable trunking capacity guide shown below can be used for the initial size calculation
This table is based on the maximum number of cables of a given size that can be physically accommodated within the trunking
In an actual installation, however, consideration must be given to a number of other factors :
1. Where cables cross each other such as in a tee or fourway / cross, extra space will be required
2. Depending upon the type of installation, future wiring needs could well require spare trunking capacity
3. Larger cables, in particular, do not lie neatly and flatly. Consideration must be given to the practicality of laying cable within a trunking
compartment
4. The cable trunking capacity guide can be used for each compartment within multi-compartment trunking
5. A 50% reduction in capacity will apply at tees and fourway / crosses unless offset fittings are used

n Cable trunking capacity guide Cable sizes and factors Trunking sizes and capacity factors
For each size of cable, multiply the number to be installed by the Size (mm2) Common Size (mm) Trunking
common factor. Add together the results of these calculations for all (nom.) cable factor capacity factor
cable sizes. The correct trunking size must have a capacity factor Solid 50 x 50 1 037
equal to or greater than this total

installation notes

n Earth bonding
Cable trunking and ducting systems are designed to carry single insulated cables, and such systems must therefore provide the secondary
protection required by the Wiring Regulations. This means trunking and ducting systems must be earth bonded together, and then connected
to a suitable earth point. Salamandre trunking is designed to provide such earth bonding, provided that the system is fully assembled with all
manufacturer’s original components, including fixings, and that all fixings are fully tightened. This is achieved by a combination of serrations under
the head of the fixing screws and the internal barbs on the fixing bars

n Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)


Cable trunking and ducting systems are considered passive under normal conditions in respect of electromagnetic influences. The installation of
current carrying cables may cause emissions and these cables may also be influenced by electromagnetic signals from elsewhere, but the degree
of influence will depend on the nature of the installation and the apparatus connected to the system. Specific information relating to the details of
cable separation required according to the type of signal, and further information on the subject of EMC, is provided in the relevant Standards and
Regulations. However as a basic principle, if power and signal cables are run in separate compartments of a metal trunking system, then the metal
segregation will significantly reduce the possibility of one circuit having undesirable effect influence upon another

n Supporting cable trunking systems


The coupler between all types of cable trunking lengths is to provide electrical and mechanical connection between the lengths; it does not provide
a load bearing connection between lengths. Consequently each length must be fully supported so that there is no significant bending force applied
to the coupler

Each individual length of trunking is strong enough to carry the maximum number of cables that can be physically fitted into the trunking whilst still
being able to correctly fit the cover without applying force. All supports must therefore be designed to carry each length individually without relying
on the coupler

n IP4X vs IPXXD
The index of protection is defined in BS EN 60529 – Degree of protection of enclosures of electrical equipment
IP4X
Protected against solid bodies greater than 1mm in diameter. The test uses a 1mm diameter, 100mm long test probe / wire. The probe is applied with
a force of 1N+- 10% and is not allowed to enter the enclosure being tested
IPXXD
Solid bodies no greater than 1mm in diameter may enter the top of the enclosure but will remain clear of hazardous parts. The test uses a 1mm
diameter, 100mm long test probe / wire. The top of the enclosure may allow entry of the 100mm long test wire, however the wire is not allowed to
touch any hazardous parts within the enclosure

multi-compartment crossovers and compartment tees

n Multi-compartment crossovers
Approximately 50% of cable capacity is lost when using
multi-compartment fittings
Where tees or fourway / crosses are used on a multi-compartment system,
‘crossover bridges’ must be used
Crossover bridges are supplied as a removeable item, allowing the cables
for compartment A to be laid into the trunking. Once these are in position,
the crossover bridge can be fitted, and the cables for compartment B laid
into position. This obviates the need for threading any cables through the
crossover bridge
