NOTE 1 The cable shows the maximum capacity of conditions for the simultaneous drawing-in of cables.

The table applies to 250 volts grade cable. The columns headed ‘S’ apply to runs of conduit

which have distance not exceeding 4.25 M between draw in boxes, and which do not deflect

form the straight by angle of more than 150 The columns headed ‘B’ apply to runs of conduit

which deflect from the straight by an angle of more than

NOTE 2 In case of inspection type draw-in box has been provided and if the cables is first drawn through

one straight conduit, then through the drawn box, and then through the second straight conduit,

such systems may be considered as that of a straight conduit even if the conduit deflects

through the straight by more than

25.1.4 Protection against dampness - In order to minimise condensation ro sweating inside the tube,

all outlets of conduit system shalll be property drained and ventilated, but in such a manner as to

prevent the entry of insects as far as possible.

25.1.5 Protection of conduit against rust : The outer surface of the conduit pipes, including all

bends, unions, tees junction boxes, etc., forming part of the conduit system shall be adequately

protected against rust particulary when such system is exposed to weather. In all cases, no bare

threaded portion of conduit pipe shall be allowed unless such bare threaded portion is treated

with anti-corrosive preservative or covered with approved plastic compound.

25.1.6 Fixing of conduit - Conduit pipes shall be fixed by heavy gauge saddles, secured to suitable

wood plugs or any other approved plug with screws in an approved manner at an interval of not

more than one metre but on either side of couplers bends or similar fittings. Saddles shall be

fixed at a distance of 30 cm. from the centre fo such fittings.

25.1.7 Bends in conduit - All necessary bends in the system including diversion shall be done by

bendign pipes. or insering suitable solid or inspection type normal bends, elbows or similar

fittings; or by fixing cast iiron inspection boxes whichever is more suitable. Conduit fitting shall

be avoided as far as possibe. On conduit ststem exposed to weather, where necessary, solid

type fitting shall be used. Radius of such bends in conduit pipes shall be not less than 7.5 cm.

No length of conduit shall have more than the equivalent of four quarter bends from outlet, the

bends at the outlets not being counted.

25.1.8 outlets - All outlets ofr fitting switches etc. shall be boxes of suitable metal or any other

approved outlet boxes for other surface mounting or flush mounting system.

25.1.9 Conductor - All conductor used in conduits wiring shall preferably be stranded. No single-core

cable or nominal Corss-sectional area greater than 130 mm2 shall be enclosed in a couduit and
