I would like to run an electric cable under a 4 inch insulated floor. The
floor insulation is covered with 18mm t+g chipboard flooring. If I run the
cable through a plastic tubing first, then under the insulation, can anyone
see a problem with this. Beneath the 4 inch insulation is a concrete base.
The idea is to put electric sockets at the opposite side of the room to
were they are now.
Many thanks.
Neil

Should be ok. Remeber to de-rate the cable current carrying capacity due
to its being burried in insulation.

If it's to a socket, it still needs to be derated in case something else
is plugged in. This means that you may need to use heavier cable.

If you don't understand this, get someone in!

I have put the pipe in with a length of rope to pull cable through but will
use electrician to make sure it is done correctly.
Thanks to all for putting me right.
