standard trunking technical information

Cable trunking capacity guide

For each size of cable, multiply the number to be installed by the common factor. Add together the results of these calculations for all cable sizes. The correct trunking size must have a capacity factor equal to or greater than this total Example : 24 x 160 mm2 stranded ......................................... 24 x 478 = 11472 20 x 25 mm2 solid .................................................. 20 x 119 = 2380 ______ 13852 ______ Minimum trunking size required in this example = 75 x 50 (trunking capacity factor 1555) Cable sizes and factors
Size (mm2) (nom.) Common cable factor

Screw fixing Screws are M5 x 6 mm posidrive, pan head with earth nib on underside of head and a rounded end to prevent cable damage Manufactured to BS 4183 and BS 3643 from low carbon mild steel, zinc plated and clear passivated Tamperproof screw fixing An M5 x 12 mm pan head screw with the efficient high torque TORX(1) recess Tamperproof screw fix lids are supplied fitted with mild steel plated screws with TORX(1) screws bagged separately for fitting when installation is complete Torque transmitted positively and accurately Large contact area - reduces wear Parallel sides - holds screwdriver captive and virtually eliminates slippage Manufactured to BS 4183 and BS 3643 from low carbon mild steel, zinc plated and clear passivated A special TORX(1) screwdriver is needed (see p. 307)

Reduced end load required

Large contact area, no stress concentrations or stress raisers

Drive surfaces parallel with axis of screw reduces disengagement risk
