IT/control room under floor LV containment

Scrumpy
Is there a typical containment preference for LV installations under false floors of IT and control rooms?

I don't have much experience in this area - I'm considering singles in trunking and flexi conduits to floor boxes/control desks and would appreciate any thoughts on this.

    Sounds reasonable


    An alternative might be bus bar trunking and tap offs


    In either case you probably want to be addressing high protective conductor currents


    Depending on how resilient your supply sources are (and how important the facility is) then a degree of robust engineering, segregation, separation and duplication may well be in order


    If you need a fairly secure supply, then be careful where you put RCD's - eg at the floor boxes may be better than at the CPD position (eg RCBO's in the DB)
