Reference Methods

Former Community Member

Wondered what installation reference method people might be using for a T&E cable on a masonry wall that is then covered with plasterboard, ie a typical dot and dab affair. I think "C" is correct as all installation methods involving a cable in contact with a wall and NO insulation map to reference method "C". Wouldn't think the plasterboard or covering the cable with capping would make any difference. I raised the question due to seeing A,B, & C on various other contractors certs.

    I would say that the reference method would be C as the other reference methods imply a greater liklihood of heat generation due to space restrictions caused by poor or reduced thermal transfer.
