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

■ 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
■ Supporting cable trunking systems

The connector 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 connector
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 connector

trunking size, capacity and weights
■ 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
■ 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 equal Solid 50 x 50 1 037
