It reduces it a little, but not much. Column C is the normal figure for
"clipped direct" or a cable buried directly in plaster. Using conduit
results in de-rating to the figures shown in column A. So 2.5mm T&E
drops from 27A to 23A


And then you stick two cables in and it drops to 19.5, just below what is
necessary for a ring.


Two smaller conduits solve that problem, and are often easier to thread
anyway.
