Metal conduit between two light fittings

Mark D Gray

Hi all,

we are having a discussion in the office and wanted your thoughts on the subject. If you have a metal conduit fitted between two plastic light fittings, the circuit is wired in singles (including a separate CPC), is there a requirement to earth the metal conduit?

    Is this a real issue, or just an office debate?

    What the lamp fittings are made of, even if they are double-insulated, is irrelevant. The risk arises from the cables passing through the conduit.
