Query on wiring and Cbus

["Des Gibbons" <des@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,


OK, I have been tracing the cable routes from the consumer unit to the 1st
floor void and attic with the intention of home running power feeds back to
the consumer unit for each light fitting to connect to some cbus dimmers.


Then I had a thought, power is already run to each area in the form of 2 x
1mm t&e cables, so if I place the cbus units on the first floor, and in
the
attic, I will dramaticlly reduce the amount of homerun cabling I need to
do.

So assuming the 2 x 1mm T&E will provide enough juice to power the cbus
dimmer, and the light fittings on each floor, can anyone see any problems
doing it this way? (If the 2 x 1mm T&E aren't enough, I can always run
1 or
2 2.5mm T&E easily)

All the switches are being homeruun to a different location anyway, so it
is
only the power cables to each fitting.

Oh, and do the wiring regs say anything about doing it this way?

Cheers, Des.
