Are there any regulations relating to the distances between cleats either inside the loft or on the outside wall.
Distance between cable cleats.
For example in order to achieve the published ampacity without.
I m installing 6mm2 swa cable on the outside wall and across the loft.
S distance between the centrelines of the conductors in metres m once ft in n m has been determined then the force for each potential cable cleat can be calculated.
So ft x 0 3 gives the force a cleat will see if spaced at 300mm ft x 0 6 for 600mm etc.
The cleats should always be installed at the beginning the middle the end of the bend part.
S distance between the centrelines of the conductors in metres m once the ft in n m has been determined then the force for each potential cable cleat can be calculated.
Correct cable cleat spacing.
600mm x 0 6 102 283 33n per cable cleat.
0 17 190 x 190 36 1000 170 477 22 n m.
So ft x 0 3 gives the force a cable cleat will see if spaced at 300mm.
Construction data of the cable cleats.
The way to calculate the correct cable cleat spacing or other fixing spacing differs depending on whether it is a single or a trefoil cleat spacing that you are after.
Of those in the above configuration 300mm.
Metric cable ladder typically has rungs at 300mm intervals so cable cleat spacing is usually a multiple of this distance.
I intended running the cable across the loft by clipping it to the beams well above the loft insulation.
Greater than 20mm but less than 40mm is 400mm and 550mm.
Each cable cleat in this configuration must restrain two times the force.
Greater than 15mm diameter cable but less than 20mm is 350mm and 450mm.
Cable ΓΈ 36mm 190ka.
Horizontal cable cleat spacing decisions are based on cable ampacity requirements spacing between the cables and the width and load distribution of the cable support system.
Also any other no no s that i need to be aware of.
In the tables and formulas below you can find the best way to calculate the maximum distance spacing between cable cleat fixings.
The distance between the cleats on the bend should be no more than 0 3m from center to center.
The bend radius should be 8 to 12 times of the cable diameter.
Got my regs book in front of me and it states if the diameter is greater than 9mm but less than 15mm then the maximum spacings are 300mm apart horizontally or 400mm apart vertically.
