Cable routing through slotted hole

Baldyhugh
Hi all


Just a quick question roughly regarding eddy currents. Take an example of a single slotted hole from a steel trunking entering a PVC distribution board but could also be metal for the purposes of the example. Some boards have neutral and earths at either side so is it ok to ‘bunch’ all your earths at one side of the slot and all your neutrals at the other due to the location of the bars? I have read other posts that bunching is not advisable but as far as eddy currents go the slot is still a single hole. Hope my question makes sense.


Thanks

    Thanks Mike


    Just to clarify, when I said a slotted hole I didn’t mean two holes with a hacksaw cut between them often referred to as a dog bone shape. I was meaning a proper slot in trunking the same width the whole way along like 25mm or 32mm to allow for Multiple circuits into a distribution board
