Refer to Appendix 4. Use of Appendix 4 will covered in more detail in Section 523/525. For now it is worth getting students used to finding installation methods and their related reference method.

The following slides illustrate busbar and powertrack systems. Bs 7671 does not contain any specific detailed requirements (apart from using the correct British Standards). However Appendix 8 should be quickly referred to. Generally manufacturers information/recommendation should be followed.
Such systems (often overhead) are also used to supply machinery, providing flexibility when the connected equipment may require frequent movement.
Conductors of a.c. circuits installed in ferromagnetic enclosures (such as steel conduit, trunking or ducting) must be arranged so that the conductors of all line and the related neutral conductor (if any) and the appropriate protective conductor of each circuit are contained in the same enclosure.
Where conductors enter a ferromagnetic enclosure, they must be arranged so that they are not individually surrounded by ferromagnetic material, or other provision must be made to prevent eddy (induced) currents. (Using non-ferromagnetic plate)

Refer to Sections 521.6 and 521.10. Many of these Regulations are covered in later sections of Part 5. Regulation 521.7/521.8 has already been covered in Part 3 and Section 528 covers the segregation issues in depth 521.9 requires the use of flexible cables where equipment is intended to be moved etc and requires flexible cables only to be used where the relevant provisions of the regulations are met. 521.10 is very important (521.10.1) being the regulation confirming that non-sheathed cables must be provided with mechanical protection. For circuit protective conductors see Regulation 543.1.1 (4.0 mm 2 minimum without mechanical protection)
