Hi Joe Over here I've noticed that whenever "wiring" of any kind is to be installed, businesses and domestics that I've heard about always employ qualified electricians. The wiring itself may not need a qualified electrician but how it is routed and juxtaposed with mains, particularly when 3-phase is about, still needs that expertise. On a new build site, why bother with different grades of wireman when one can do the lot? 73 David G3UNA
