Figure in Blue = Approx Total Internal Area of Trunking

Figure in Red = Approx Section Cable Area

Figure in Purple = Approx number of each size of TW/E cable for the selected size of Pvc Trunking

Based of IEE regs " the number of cables installed should be such that the resulting space factor does not exceed 45% "
