    GP wire

    Good day,
    would gp wire be acceptable to install in p8200 trunking without any covers for example in a shop for light circuits? Im use to running such wire in conduit and am a bit consurned about the safety aspect of running this type of wire in this trunking?

    GP wire is insulated but unsheathed so I'd say it should be in trunking with a lid. You can get both plastic and steel lid options for p series trunking.

    How would I go about convincing my boss to buy covers for steel trunking that is on an existing installation?

    Why not just run twin +e in the trunking...then you don't need covers?
    Comments are based on opinion...not always facts....that's why people use an alias.
